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 |
