Just realized most people at the convention don't actually read the comics
I was at Emerald City Comic Con last month and it hit me how many people just buy variant covers or follow movie news. They know the character names but can't tell you a single story arc from the last five years. It matters because it turns collecting into just buying stuff, not caring about the actual stories. How many books from your pull list did you actually read this month?

But it gets them in the door.

I used to think it was fine if people just liked the merch. Then I saw a guy at my local shop buy three copies of the same Spawn #300 variant, all still sealed. He didn't know the current story at all. That made me realize the story is what makes the character worth following, not just the cover art. Now I make sure to read everything on my list, even if it's just a few books a week.
