Noticed both Gold and Blue 3 sets are still available on the next day. Over saturation (9 covers in 1 month) or are people unhappy with the print increases, discount decrease and cover price increase?

Can't believe they are all still on sale. Probably a bit of both. I skipped them mainly because of the saturation

I finally finished it and I'm ready for another round!

No comment is the nicest response I could give. Thank you for letting me know though.

What a tool.  It's amazing how quickly some people can burn their image and reputation with a few choice decisions.

I stopped following him on twitter for something else months ago, not surprised.

That's my biggest issue with him right now. Seems to be a money grab. Nothing wrong with capitalism but he could be doing this smarter and treating the fans more loyal.

Just doing math in my head, I like to get these cgcss

$80 = a set

$100+ = cgc

$400 (around) = the total

*times that by the rate that he is producing them*

= "Honey, I don't think we can eat this week"

They are all still available. I hope people stop buying them up so maybe he will stop pumping out 12 covers a month and I can afford his stuff. 

Why will Charlie not be coming to the states for the next 4 years? Is he that busy?

20% increase in print run. 5% less of a discount. I might hold off on these now that I think about it. I like them & my X-Men completism is driving me nuts & screaming "BUY ME" but I don't know.

I feel your pain! Lol. I said the same thing to myself. He's becoming really hard to keep up with. Especially the cgc route, the ocd in me wants the whole set. That's 9 books in the last month.

Early bird hotel reservations are now open.  If you don't mind being 5-6 miles from the convention center, this is a great option.  You get to pick your hotel, rather than giving a number of choices and hoping you get the one you really want, and you don't have to suffer through the regular hotel reservation madness.  

Warning: With early bird you pay the full amount when you make the reservation, and it's non-refundable.

Good to know. When do the badges go on sale? First timer...sorry.

Can someone put what was said in a spoiler tag or something? I don't read the series, but I'm curious.

I'm a huge Thor fan and especially the Aaron run. With that being said when I read unworthy thor #5  and looked at the cover expecting a slugfest between Thor and Thanos I was disappointed. However, the more I think about it I really like it. It made me pull out the old God Butcher run and want to read it again. It made the whole thing really personal for Thor and was pretty satisfied with it. (didn't want to drop spoilers, hope I didn't)

Damn! How are you able to get 25 copies of Jim Lee books, I believe that the fan expo only limits them to 2 per person? Per their site - http://fanexpodallas.com/exclusives/

Same, it was just strange because it didn't look like pesos until the final step

Jessica Jones - Decomixado

Just in case you didn't know, pre-sale is active. I think this will be the best price you'll get before the Con ($25).

They were having some issues with their site, but you may go and check.

Says $500 for me

Ordered the 3-issue set of the Elektra.

It just dawned on me though... the new Netflix-inspired Elektra costume is almost identical to Silk's costume without the webs in the front. Like they both bought the same basic costume & threw different emblems on the chest. Like a minor league hockey team.

Did it go on sale early? I thought 9 AM PST. Thanks to you I saw your comment and ordered the set as well. Thanks! Hope I get 9.8 candidates

Anyone think the next event will be good? (I actually laughed out loud typing that) My expectations are sooo low. I obviously hope it knocks my socks off. The only book that I am over the moon about is Unworthy Thor and that's a 5 issue mini series, go figure  We need to buy up as many DC books that we can to help the cause

Good points all - Brubaker is not back for sure. Hickman could be though right? He doesn't have an exclusive in the works as far as I know? Millar, I don't really see as a such a loss, but Gillen... yeah, maybe, but really it's Brubaker and Hickman that I think are the best talents out of that list when considering Marvel.

And I don't know that they can fix it. I think the article is awful rosy on DC personally. I'll believe either Big Two is writing character-first stories - not Intellectual Property-first stories - when they can go six to twelve months without a pointless universe wide cross over.

Personally I like Remender the most due to Uncanny X-force and Uncanny Avengers being one of my favorite Marvel Titles.  Also, another thing I failed to mention was the pandering to SJW's that some have already brought up. I take some heat for this at times. Yeah sure in a sense its always been sprinkled throughout some titles over the years but now it is worn on the sleeves of a lot of the books and is front and center. Entertainment, character development and story have unfortunately taken a back seat. 

This is just my opinion; Losing Brubaker, Fraction, Remender, Ellis, Hickman, Hitch, Millar, and Gillen did not help them. Aaron and Lemire are all that remains. Aaron is doing Star Wars, Doctor Strange, Unworthy Thor and Mighty Thor. (while still doing Southern Bastards and Goddamned). Lemire is doing Thanos, OML, & Moonknight. They are all pretty solid books. After that its a pretty big drop.

I'm curious to see where Marvel will go and how they will fix this mess that they got themselves in.  Perhaps have the Fantastic Four see all the damage that they have done and try to fix it while bringing them back. 2 birds with one stone.

Deadly Class #1 (Third Eye variant) s/s Rick Remender - $135
