This is a very interesting point that I've not heard anyone else bring up before, but makes a lot of sense. If you've gone so far as to check out a new series by purchasing the first issue, it absolutely needs to be read ASAP so you can continue buying if you like it.
When I check out a creator-owned (or any comic I like enough, for that matter) and it hooks me, then I have my comic shop add it to my pull list when I come in the next week. I gather this may not work if the issue could be with people who go in once a month or so to get all their comics. I put creator-owned works at the bottom of my stack, but that's because A: the stack is never more than a few issues and B: I save the best for last. Still, I think urging Wednesday Warriors (like myself) to add titles they are interested in to their pull lists before they come out may help, too. If you read a couple issues and it's not for you, then just remove it from your pull. But this way, maybe it helps boost sales at the start of a run when it's really important to get that momentum.
