Can we talk about the trick of reading single issues in short bursts
I used to try plowing through entire runs in one sitting and got burned out after 20 pages. Then I started reading just 5 pages of an old X-Men issue during my lunch break at work and actually retained the story better. Has anyone else found a weird reading habit that made you enjoy comics more?

Yeah I tried that but my ADHD kicked in and I bought fifty more issues instead.

Oh man I feel this so hard haha! Something that clicked for me was setting a hard rule that I can only buy 2 issues at a time from any series. When I break that I just tell myself I have to read what I already bought first before getting more. It's not perfect but it slowed me down a ton. I also started organizing my collection by priority so the ones I actually want to read are front and center. That way the shiny new stuff doesn't distract me as much.
