I have no issues with reading them elsewhere, but here is where they are. Since we have a household of people who read them, they tend to stay in the bag they came in (I order them online and get them once a month) until everyone has done so. That is to say, ideally they stay in the bag because that keeps them from spreading all over the house. We have kids, so that doesn't always happen. Eventually they will be bagged (not boarded) and boxed, but that generally takes a few months. Mine, I read at home in comfort.

I've had more than one good casual conversation that way with people who were closet fans. Let's me show em a grown man can read these books and even point them to the local shop so they can get the fix that has just re-awakened.

Usually I chill on my couch at home, and go through my whole weeks' stack (laptop next to me for initial impressions) As for how they are treated before and after being read, well...I am a bad collector. I generally let all the comics collect around the apartment for a couple of months until my librarian side comes out...then you got some boxing and categorizing going on, the likes of which would scare most.

At the end of the year, I take everything I bought from that year down to my mother's as she's been nice enough to leave a small room in her house as a storage space for my various stuff, including the comics. And the stay there, until that future date when I live somewhere with enough space to hold them all comfortably. I probably wouldn't read them while eating, but reading comics while enjoying a beverage isn't out of the question.
