Catching Up With My Love and Rockets

  
When I last posted about Love and Rockets, I lamented that the only way I could get the latest issues of the book was directly via Fantagraphics, and the shipping costs really added up.
I've been delinquent grabbing the last few issues, but was able to find a comics dealer on ebay with all the recent issues up for sale.
Got issues 14, 15 and 16, for a total of 27 dollars with shipping. 27!! Gotta say, my wallet is taking a real hit with these Love and Rockets stuff...
Have to confess that the L&R stories for the past few years haven't been grabbing me at all. I know that there are fans who love the new stuff, but if I may say so IMHO a lot of it feels like "filler" level. And with those rising costs, I may have to withdraw from individual issue collecting and wait for the trade collections from now on.
