Do you feel the same about the recent DC price stuff? And JL being twice a month at 3.99
Sure, and as I said she has done nothing wrong. It just makes me look elsewhere. There's no need to be defensive.

To me a commission is a one of a kind thing. That's the appeal.
Of course. Single prices are shit. They never should have gone over $2.50 an issue. I have nothing against Marvel other than their rabid and constant fascination with increasing pricing.
And it still is. Prelims are not reproductions.
You could also put it on a not-so-lazy Susan and let it do the rotating for you!

Companies gotta make the money to pay the artists though.
Supply and demand, though. If the book isn't selling, or selling at the price they want, then where is the money supposed to come from? There are books I won't pay $3.99 for, but would be fine paying half that to read.
From what I know about Equinox the problem was how Lemire used her and then him leaving rather than her being a new young hero.
Snowguard will depend on if the creators can make her into a character people like and what happens after they leave Champions. If Champions continues afterwards she could be on the team or she could follow Zub to another book.
If comics sold better they would probably be able to charge lower prices. We see DC raising they're prices now as they're dipping a bit.

I know I am being wierd about it. But it just bothers me for something so expensive. Most don't care.
Romita Jr. is coming to Brazil's CCXP this year... I might need to actually attend this event once in my life. RIP my wallet
Ive never actually read any of Remender's Venom run. Need to remedy that before I drown in hobo piss!
Does he start out the run as Agent Venom, or does that happen after a few issues like Franken-Castle in his Punisher run?
Also I always hear people talk about Anti-Venom with high regard, is there a go to story about him, especially for someone who doesnt have a clue who he is?
Anti-Venom showed up near the end of Spider-Island, I believe. I think the Agent Venom stuff is pretty early in the run.
Where did he become Agent Venom then? Or is that explained in the Remender run?
So Slott came up with Anti-Venom?
Fixed that for you.
Speaking of Remender's awesomeness, Death or Glory is going to be an on-going! Just got confirmed today by Bengal for me on Twitter, thought it was only going to be a limited series like Tokyo Ghost.
Remender's Venom is so damn good
does something I love and takes a b-tier villain (Jack O'Lantern) and makes them great

11 inches apparently, least that is what BBTS has, so yeah.XD
Anti-Venom first appears during New Ways to Die, an ASM arc where Spider-Man goes against the Osborn Thunderbolts. The first comic I ever bought.

Agent Venom is all Remender and shows up in the first issue.
The Anti-Venom stuff was pretty good, I really enjoyed that era of Slott Spidey. I'm not sure what kind of impact that development will have without some background info on Eddie and the symbiote though (mostly because I don't remember how much was explained).
I've re-examined my digital purchasing, mostly because I was irritated with the Comixology "Collections" that were going on sale for Marvel stuff @ $0.99. I had purchased so much stuff that hadn't been read before the cheap collection hit.
Previously my buying requirement was:
-It's on sale and I might want to read it someday (my threshold for $0.99 buys is very low)
-It's a new release by a writer/artist team that I like
-It's a new release that involves a character or team of characters I like
Note that I hate the collections for some reason, so I always do single issues.
The irritation temporarily put me off new buys altogether for a month or so, but I've wish listed stuff weekly.
I think going forward I'll buy:
-It's on sale and I might want to read it someday (my threshold for $0.99 buys is very low)
-It's on sale and on my wish list
-It's a new release by a writer/artist team that I like
I'm sensitive to the paying of artists, but I was buying too much trash b/c I have some nostalgic character interest, from a time when the art / writing was great (or I was a kid). I will say that Wednesdays are far less special this past month. I think the flaw in my current plan is that I won't discover fantastic creative teams as quickly as before, but I'll save money.
A strong 6/10 or weak 7/10 yeah. I will say no more because don't Disney ninja's to figure out who I saw It with.
I loved that mini as a kid(and kinda wished the Creep had come back), but having read it again a couple years ago, it's...not good.
It's how I've always seen him. That's why Eggman hates him so much (aside from the plan foiling).
I like her design.
I'm upset about Red Locust. Falcon and Patriot are eh.
The Wolverine issue of that was legit good.Best Venom:
Space Knight was also my shit.
I assumed she was on Gold
Well we are talking about someone who owns multiple copies of her N52 run on Catwoman, so quality isn't really an issue here...

Harley is the same book as pre Rebirth. If you liked that it's more of it. Let's hope humphries breathes new life into it and brings her back to gotham.
Suicide Squad starts slow and Meh but quickly becomes amazing once Jim Lee leaves.
you should know you buy them all :p
I was an image stan? when did this happen? I honestly buy more marvel books per month than image.
best books do come out of image.
man this is making me think about the Nic Klein / Skottie Young Deadpool preview again and boy that has a lot to live up to hasn't it

Suicide Squad is really solid. It gets the tone right and puts a lot of focus on Waller as a character, which I've enjoyed. It's sort of meh until after the JL vs. SS crossover but since then has been one of my favorites.
I also think it will read very well collected, since there's a lot of bleed between storylines. I've been tempted to double dip on the hardcovers for that reason.
I haven't read it since I was like 13, but I bet it's pretty bad
Nah. I didn't like it. Allred art is always on-point, but it wasn't enough for me this time.

Nah, I just had no frame of reference for the character and there was nothing inherently interesting to me about him.
How was Peter David's run on Captain Marvel? This one:
Finally started Avengers Forever, and holy crap does Busiek use a TON of narration bubbles lol. I dont think ive ever seen a comic use so many per page, I might as well be reading a novel. Considering subbing again for MU and might check out his Avengers run. But Captain Marvel has me super interested in checking out more of though.
