If you are a collector, certainly buying comic books individually is a great way to go. It keeps in the hold of things; in anticipation of what the next comic book issue might be, and this could be even if it's an older comic from fifty years ago. There are no such things necessarily as a pro and con, or a bad or a good, as to whether you want to do this. It all depends on what your style is, and what is your interest. Why are you buying this comic book title to begin with? Are you buying for investment purposes? Are you buying it for reading purposes? Are you buying the comic book for collectible Purposes? Or to Hand down to your children? So again this is another example of where it's what ever works best for you as the hobbyist; or the investor.
