I'm still disappointed that Black Panther and The Crew was abruptly cancelled.
Nah I'm not good at meeting artists

That's true but I wonder if it'll end up being like the wally/barry Flash debate.
Is it? I hope Marvel aren't undercutting themselves with this reboot then.
It's the same book, but with legacy numbering and Eddie Brock.

Wait, how long has Eddie Brock been back?

Seriously, did anyone notice this?
He came back in issue #6 I think.
I did

The fuck.
As Venom? For one issue. As himself? He never left.
I've had my set (about 15-16?) for about a decade now and they changed my comic life. Way easier to get books in or out.
My set has been around and still holding up, however the bottom boxes have started to bow a bit BUT this is probably my fault. I put a whole bunch of Video Game CEs and game cases on top adding extra weight that is probably distributed differently than another row of boxes.
Two tips, buy those box lox things, and always have one more box in your row across than you do stacking vertical (ex. 5 boxes across, only go 4 rows high) for best stability.
From a customer service side, they sent me 5 boxes that were the wrong size (long instead of short) and shipped me the right size for free and let me keep the mistakes. Which is crazy bc the biggest expense on these things is the shipping.

That why I dropped Deadpool a long time ago and thought about ditching Amazing Spidey this year. But people on Reddit told me I was overreacting. At least I see now others feel the same as me.
Dropping a whole book because of one 10 issue is indeed a hard overrraction. Just dont buy the one issue.

Because they've done it multiple times now.
Then do it on every opporturnity

If you have to skip two or three issues a year because they're massively overpriced may as well just switch to trades and get the entire story.
Fair enough. I just like things to be wrapped up. I don't care that things end up badly for the characters, or if their very nature fights any progress, but I want to have the feeling that the run ended in a way that left me satisfied. And an abrupt ending where we are just meant to interpret it as these people staying the same and nothing changing is just not a good ending to me. A proper stopping point for these characters, maybe, but not a good end to a series.

Superman #7 - #13 were pretty good! Finally I have a Rebirth series I can wholeheartedly recommend. The World's Smallest issues were hilarious and the Frankenstein issues were fun too.
The Cobbs are giving me a bad feeling. Also, where did Nobody and Goliath come from? Any relation to the dude Damian killed in the Batman & Robin run?

lol, right. Just skip the issue and then wonder wtf is happening in the next one. And as others have said, they keep doing that crap over and over with Deadpool.

I mean, a bunch of books are shipping twice a month ($6 a month) and most people don't mind that. Why is a larger $10 issue twice a year a problem?
Awesome, hadn't realised that was by the same team too. Hopefully my library gets it soon.

Because those are written by one person and aren't filled with backup stories I don't give a crap about or want to pay for. This last $10 Deadpool issue is an outlier. The other ones, The Amazing Spidey one this year, and the latest Venom one all commit the backup story sin.
Stuff get written into the Internet? As long as this isnt a regular thing I really have no idea whats the problem is.
After the arc you are 100% fine again.
The next issue is not going to have a backup story. So why dropping it permanently?

ok, if part of the issue is in the regular run and the rest of it is backup stuff - that's definitely shitty.

It's much easier to drop a book when you see it costs $10 when it's on the counter than when it's split over a larger period of time.

This is neither a pro nor a con but at that length and price it's practically a trade.

Because I don't get shit in my mouth and ask for more. You buy the issue and then they keep doing the overpriced filled with backup stories crap over and over again. I'm not supporting that.
I know, thats why I said that you could skip that issue, read about it on the internet or buy a code for 1$ from
Money that doesnt go to Marvel if you really want to know whats going on, and then buy the for regular priced issues again. Dropping a whole series because of one incident is IMO a overaction, unless its like with Deadpool.

Pls. We both know the only team she is joining is Team Ultron.
1. That is two books per month split up every two weeks. Easier on the mind and wallet than dropping 10 dollars outright on a series.
2. Marvel is also double shipping a bunch of books that equals 8 dollars a month with like 22-24 pages.. not sure why we are forgetting that in this argument.
3. Lords link already shows that a decent amount of peopel are not cool with the 10 dollar issues.
4. Deadpool is going to sell regardless but Marvel really should not test fan loyalty especially when they have so much fierce competition.
Yep, unless it's your favorite book and you still kinda like the $10 issues, skipping a few issues doesn't make a lot of sense.
How will these 10 dollar issue work when combined into a trade? Or will they just be sold separately
I would assume it works like normal.
Just added to the trade. Its a bit bigger then.

Well, I pass every time IDW does one of those shitty $8 annuals. I see the price and am just like
The only not-shitty annual I've read was the ROM one from a few months ago. That was like the best origin story.
