    There are plenty of other new books worthy of spec. This is not one. There are a lot of people who lurk and read this thread for info about what to buy. Many of us are providing reasons why this isn’t a book to spec on. No reason for newbies to sour on the hobby because of bad information. 

    cool i think maybe the point i was trying to make but maybe didn't express so well for some people is that today's collector might be motivated by different things than some of us that have been in the hobby a while. not talking about a specific book but as someone who did read books in that era i actually very much liked the kieron gillen loki-as-a-hot-chick run and the loki-as-a-kid run with his girlfriend and thor's  puppy or whatever. not even sure what you're attacking besides a straw-man there but hey thanks for letting me know the forum i'm in and how many posts i have.

  2. look, i get all this such-and-such ain't worth a nickel from the old heads who've seen it before but isn't it worth considering maybe this is a different ballgame? i mean you look at streaming services which seem to be pretty popular right now and how much of that content is comic-based... is it really all that crazy that people want in on the ground floor?
