Marvel Graphic Novel Collection

I was wondering if anyone else picked this up (Probably only in the UK)

 

Marvel Graphic Novel Collection

 

Saw the ad's on TV over Christmas and was intrigued. I usually avoid these newstand "collect-em-ups" as they are usually fairly poor products at relatively high prices but the thought of a Spidey HC at £2.99 hooked me.

 

I wasn't expecting much but with a price similar to a monthly floppy (Plus, I hadn't read Spider-Man : Homecoming) I thought it was worth a dabble.

 

Read the book and enjoyed it. the small amount of additional sketches and creator interviews were also pretty good.

 

With the next set of books being;

 

UXM : Dark Phoenix Saga

Iron Man : Extremis

Spidey : Birth of Venom

Thor : Reborn

Ultimates : Vol 1

 

I think I'll stick with it (Plus if I get them all, the sweet Gabrielle Dell Otto spine art will look great on my bookshelf). I'd be interested to know if anyone else will be joining me.

Hadn't seen this before, might consider getting it. (thumbs u

No, because the price is £9-99 per book from issue 3 onwards, so not that cheap.

[Comicopolis]

Intrigued by the TV adverts but won't be buying at that price.

[gaz973]

I had a quick look and didn't notice the price increase. I won't bother at that price.

[Stryfe1000]

I didn't think £9.99 was too bad for a HC.

 

Most marvel HC's seem to be around the £17 mark these days. If you look at the Marvel Masterpiece HC's you are talking way more.

What does that equate to in real money?

 

 

 

[Waylander]

£9.99 is about US$15.00

A million Canadian Dollars.

It's just the price of a few pints

I got it and thought it was a good quality hard cover and now subscribed aswell

[Ken Aldred]

Those free gifts look absolutely tastic!!

 

Mmm, I'm tempted.

[Waylander]

Does anyone know how many issues in total?

Looks like more than fifty of them if you look at one of the pages on the link it shows what the collection will look like on a bookcase.

Interesting that this is getting a big tv ad campaign over here, whereas comics companies don't tend to promote their bread and butter products in the same way.

That's because it is an independent company producing it under license, not Marvel. So they need all the publicity.

[Ringfinger]

That's pretty cool.

I like the look of it but at £9.99 a month for 5 years seem like a lot

Does this remind US fans of the old Time-Life book series they used to do???

 

 

"The Old West"

 

 

"John Wesley Hardin, so mean he once shot a man for snoring."

Cannot understand pricing like this - no one here will collect them all but if it was six pounds I am sure plenty would
