Brock Posted February 28, 2021 Share Posted February 28, 2021 4 hours ago, Jeffro. said: Which is silly. These magazines are really only oversized comic books Comics have been so many sizes since they were introduced 100+ years ago, that being biased towards one size makes no sense. Think about someone who would say “I don’t want that Action #1 because it’s too big. I only collect issues that are the size I’ve been able to buy since about 1968.” Or Imagine a coin collector who says, “That’s not a coin, because it’s big. I won’t collect it.” As I always say, “comic books” are about content, not platform. divad, Jeffro. and batmiesta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Windsor Smith drew and published a wonderful comic called BWS Storyteller, but it was in a larger format and he got push back from retailers and Dark Horse and that eventually killed the project! jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Marvel sticks with its Horror tie-in phase, there are going to be alot of people on the outside looking in when it comes to HG magazine books. Few and far between in HG.

Few and far between in HG. I don't get it. On the other hand, from a purely money grubbing perspective, it isn't like your rampaging hulks don't sell for a chunk more than your regular generic late 70s hulks, but they are like a billion times better. I really feel like this would be better than a $15-20 book if it was hulk 207 or something: Beige, HighVoltage, Morganmi and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
