A well-managed Pull List helps you stay on top of upcoming comic releases and plan your purchases efficiently.## Review Your Pull List Weekly
Check your Pull List each week to ensure it reflects what you want to track.
- Remove series you're no longer interested in
- Update series status (active/paused/canceled)
- Review upcoming releases
- Skip issues you don't want
Tip
Set a reminder to review your Pull List before Wednesday so you're ready for New Comic Book Day.
Use Series Status Strategically#
| Status | When to Use |
|---|---|
| Active | Series you're actively collecting - appears in emails and upcoming releases |
| Paused | Series you might resume later - preserves settings, not in emails |
| Canceled | Series you've stopped collecting - keeps history, can be removed later |
Tip
Use "Paused" instead of removing series if you're unsure - it's easier to reactivate than re-add.
Skip Individual Issues Wisely#
Use the skip feature for issues you don't want without unsubscribing from the series.
Good reasons to skip:
- Tie-in events you're not following
- Fill-in artists or writers
- Issues outside the main storyline
- Weeks when you need to cut back on spending
Skipped issues are hidden from upcoming releases and emails. You can unskip later if you change your mind.
Enable Smart Notifications#
Customize notifications based on how you want to stay informed:
| Strategy | How | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| All Series | Enable global notifications | Full visibility on everything |
| Priority Only | Disable global, enable per-series | Selective collectors |
| No Emails | Disable all notifications | Regular website visitors |
