Sorry, but I like them too. 

There are definitely some tricks to make them work better. Specifically:

1. I wrap the book in bubble wrap, then tape it securely to the interior holder with scotch tape.
2. Fresh mailers can pop open. I use scotch tape to make sure the interior holder stays shut.
3. In addition to taping the mailer shut, I add a strip of shipping tape to each "open" edge to keep things tight an secure.
4. "DO NOT BEND" stamp.
5. For expensive books I add additional reinforcement. Or put the mailer inside some other container.

As usual, I just bought bags & boards. Buying comics is more fun here.

I'm really glad I saw Ragnarok the night before.

Thanks to everyone here for the advice!

I have heard that Thor 3 ending is essential to Infinity War, so thank goodness I have see that. Plus that was a fun watch. 

I have not seen Black Panther though...does anyone know if I should make time to see that before I go see Infinity War???

 

(Hopefully I will see it this week, so these are my remaining days in this thread )

I haven't seen IW, but I have seen Black Panther. It is a good movie, but I doubt it is essential. If you have seen Captain America Civil War, I imagine you will be fine.

Regarding Thor Ragnarok, I think my major criticism is that they didn't consistently define the characters' strengths and limitations. At some points they seem invincible. At other points they are easily taken down.

Last Call! 20% off everything left in the recap.

Also, due to my ineptitude with Google Photos, there was a problem with some of the images in my posts. They have been fixed!

Thor 3 was fun. Glad I watched it.

It was kind of a shame 2 major character reveals were spoiled: the Hulk was reveal in the trailer, and I they spoiled the Doctor Strange scene in Doctor Strange.

Seeing it tomorrow for the first time in IMAX... Somehow I've managed to avoid spoilers.

I have not seen Spider-Man Homecoming or Thor Ragnarok yet. I think I only have time to watch one before Avengers IW. Which one should I choose?
