Only $35, too.
Oh come on, isn't she selling well enough to stay around?
Might be the first bishoujo I buy if it does.

tough to say. She's around the low 20K mark last I checked, but had a bunch of guest appearances over the last month or so.
Either she's more popular digitally than print sales suggest (which may actually be the case for a female centric character that skews younger) or they were trying to raise her profile.
tough to say either way.

Nothing sells well enough to stay around. Even BOOM seems riddled with minis. Brave Chef Brianna? That looks cool. 4-ISSUE MINI! Oh, The Deep! This looks rad. 5-ISSUE MINI!
The deep is going to go past 5 issues. Makes no sense
That's pretty expensive for 8 issues, though.
Makes it especially hard considering BOOM isn't gets discounted 30% on IST. And BOOM's hardcovers have pretty inconsistent bindings. Lumberjane's was INSANELY tight, to the point it was hard to even separate pages enough to comfortably read.Freezasaurus

I would agree if Giant Days wasn't THE GREATEST COMIC ON THE PLANET EARTH. Possibly even the best comic in this entire quadrant of the Milky Way.
Boom starts with minis and extends to series if they get traction. See Goldie Vance.

She's basically selling the same amount as books like Silk and that probably won't be enough to last.
People hate that for whatever reason, probably because they never checked out her ongoing. I know retailers were saying that the last issue of Champions dropped off for them because Gwenpool was on the cover.
I want a Descender OHC and Birthright OHC.

Whenever Spencer decides to stop fighting on twitter.
Saga usually takes 3-4 month breaks between arcs.
Sex Crims is already back

Yeah, Boom books are usually expensive but worth it for the paper quality! I think I own only one Boom HC, the Six-Gun Gorilla one.

Image: We're like TV. No really, you have to wait a season for another issue.

Tomorrow!
I like it that way. If done right (saga, deadly class) you get scheduled breaks and the artist can stay ahead and avoid fill ins ect. I hate fill ins for image books. The flipside is something like Lazarus which has had scheduled breaks and still has suffered massive delays.

Boom isn't that bad, honestly. Oni is the fucking worst when it comes to pricing.
Boom trades have crazy paper quality and sturdy build. But they are expensive for 4 issues. $14.99 is expensive.

I just wish pubs like Image and Boom would price digital collections in a way that made sense
It's frequently cheaper to buy the singles

Maybe it wouldn't be that bad if you didn't buy so much original art and Hot Toys. :3
:/ I don't have a problem paying it. I do pay it. I don't have the IST luxury.
Archie's pricing bothers me the most, especially since they never have sales and give the worst discounts.
Image doesn't bother to reduce the prices of their collections as prices on the singles drop like other companies. They probably want to catch people who aren't paying attention.

You would swear with a post like this they have no other decent books lol
Only a few capture me like TMNT
Sam vs Steve. Bout time
Ladies and Gentleman. Just got Marvel Unlimited recently. Haven't read comics in a long time. Do I even bother at this point with starting with Marvel Now 1.0? Do I jump on All new all Marvel which I think is 2.0? So freaking confused. I want to get current at a semi decent point. Should I maybe bang out Secret Wars and go from there?
Thanks guys. Love the thread. I'm so out of the current limbo but love reading the comments about the latest stuff.
