January 7Jan 7 CB Team I’ve noticed some people love starting a series right from the beginning, while others prefer waiting until there’s a solid backlog to catch up all at once.This applies to comics, TV shows, anime, or anything ongoing. Do you like being there from the start, or do you usually wait until there’s more to dig into?
January 7Jan 7 CB Team I like to start things from the beginning, but I don't mind catching up. If it's a comic series, I tend to prefer reading it as they come out though as opposed to waiting for the trade.
January 7Jan 7 CB Team It really depends for me. If it's something I've been looking forward to, I want to jump in from the beginning. But I often come to things later, after I hear enough about them to realize that it might be a fit for me. And that can be a fun way to get lost in a new world, too.
January 7Jan 7 CB Team I prefer to be there from the start if it's something that I know I'm most likely going to life, but I've stumbled upon several things pretty late to the game and have loved them.

However, I'm really late on Stranger Things!

January 10Jan 10 CB Team I have a bad habit of jumping in in the middle of something, getting confused, having to find the beginning, and start that way. I am the worst.
January 10Jan 10 The earlier the better. Jumping in late or in the middle is usually a non-starter, especially if the series is already quite long. But, I'll never say never.

But, I'll never say never.I'm usually a few years behind on TV series and comics lol but I also don't mind seeing spoilers most of the time. However, there are a few comic book series that I try to read immediately to avoid spoilers.

I'm just not that interested in it, to be honest, and the inescapable hype made me decide to skip it.
