Silent War #4 (of 6)
Heroes For Hire #9
Fallen Son Death Of Captain America Avengers

Small week for me.

 

[Phaedrus45]

that's correct, and not the point. i'm not looking to argue. at the very least, you're supporting your lcs, which is cool.

it's just that if i went to a really ****ty restaurant every week, and shoveled that really ****ty food in my mouth with a grin, i'd doubt very many people (if any) would take me seriously. same principle applies to comics.

No, I'm not looking to argue, either. But, I do think I'm very fair with my opinions. If you've seen some of my reviews in the Bought/Thought Thread (of which I actually had time to do some this week), you'll find I'm just as fair with Marvel as with DC. A good comic is a good comic, regardless of the company. With your resturant analogy, I would say I will enjoy a resturant, but not enjoy all their food. But, if I really like the resturant, I'll probably try most of what they offer and give my opinion.

Fair enough.

How many rooms full of books do you have stored by this point?

I only have one room; but, it does contain 70 long boxes of comics. (I keep planning on ebaying. I have bought some people's collections and need to sell off about 10 long boxes of extras. I'm just lazy, though.)

A reprint of the first two issues combined.

Uggg, I am so tired of all the reprints, various covers, and all. In many ways, it's like the 90's all over again (except with better stories). Even such a small selling book, like Battlestar Galactica, seems to have 3 or 4 different covers each month.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Actually, given that it's $2 cheaper than buying the issues individually and that I've recently lessened my stance on Bendis' mainstream Marvel work from abject hatred to cautious curiosity, I think I may get the 2-for-1 reprint.

Its a sad day in ASSHAT history where we're all partaking in the purchasing of Bendis penned books.

What's wrong with reprinting something in the hope that more people will buy it? As for variants, if you don't want to buy two copies of the same issue with different covers, don't. I wouldn't.

He's got a co-writer as well, so that should dilute the "abject hatred" even more.

Look at the 90's and you'll see why. In my opinion, by loading the market with so many reprints, the price and demand for those of us who bought a first print goes down. Plus, Variants usually don't get into the hands of the fans, unless they are willing to shell out the money for it. The comic shops tend to hold onto these supposed gems and charge more than the original 2.99 asking price.

Eh, I'm fine with that. I've always been a reader more than a collector, so if more people get to read a comic at the expense of collectors' getting their variants and first-run copies, I don't mind.

INVINCIBLE at best ships about a week later than Diamond projects. Diamond announced #40 last week and it just same this week. So it should be 2 weeks at least.

But hey, the more the merrier.

i did read somewhere that kirkman said the next few issues were in the can and that they'd be pumping them out in the next few weeks.
