'I love that you did it by creator! That's cool.'
Haha, thanks.
It's how I've mostly bought comics since reading a Warren Ellis piece, ages ago, on how he didn't understand why people read/bought books they didn't enjoy and how he felt it was weird that comics were arranged by title rather than author.
His point being that in just about any other medium, following the author/director/actor/musician/creator is what people tend to do, why should that be different in comics? (Also - I don't think it is, these days, I think people do follow the creators, but just tend to talk about it in terms of titles.)
If it's an ongoing title that has a change of team, I will stick around and check the new team out (loved Duane Swierczynski's run on Iron Fist, for example), but for the most part following creators seems to be more satisfying.
Also, most titles up there are arranged by writer, that seems to matter more to me, but I do also keep an eye out for artists I like.
Also also, there are a number of people whose stuff I either already love, or need to check out (Greg Rucka and Howard Chaykin as respective examples), who aren't listed there.
And, last, I need to seek out more comics by women.
