Anyone else notice last weeks books

[Hobgoblin]

I just got my books from last week; and I'm surprised no one really commented how thin they were. I picked up my Marvel Zombies #1 and thought "I paid $3 for this?"

 

Now, it seems like a lot less ads, which is good. But even a book with all the ads is worth more than this thing. What was it? 22 pages? I'd rather pay $3 for a book with 15 pages of advertisements.

Whatever floats your boat. "I'd rather" buy a book that has 22 pages of story (I don't care how much advertising) for $1.00.

If we're wishing, then... I'd like all of my free gem mint comic books and graphic novels delivered directly to my house by supermodels and Playmates.

What really ticked me off, was a good portion of the Marvels had this printing crease thing going on. Really, really made me not want to spend the money.

[Hobgoblin]

Who said anything about "wishing?"

[Kevin Boyd]

Yes, but there are creases in EVERY week's Marvels... especially the Ultimate books.

Whatever floats your boat. As long as we are "wishing", I'd rather buy a book that has 22 pages of story (I don't care how much advertising) for $1.00.

 

Obviously you did not understand my post 100%.

I bought Marvel Zombies, and I liked it (a lot actually). The ads - present or absent - didn't stand out to me in any way. In my mind, I got what I paid for - a 22 page comic book story about Marvel super-heroes as zombies. Personally, I don't buy comic books for the ads.

The ads really torque me too. I mean, if I wanted to really work out my right arm, I'd go to the gym, but there I am, reading a comic, flipping pages over and over and over. It's hell on the joints I tell you. And my left arm? Holding up a comic that weighs a good 33% more? It's a true feat of endurance to just hold it there while my right arm strains to flip yet another page.

I heard a rumor that you actually don't HAVE to buy comics. Not sure if that's true or not. But if I find proof, I'll let everyone know.

Pffft. When you find that proof, look just to the left of it and you'll probably find proof that the Earth is flat.

Ok, I changed my post for you. Better?

The Earth's flat? I always knew that was the truth.

...who are also carrying free pizza and soda (or beer, if you prefer that).

[Kevin Boyd]

I almost mentioned pizza!

See? Are we a unified brotherhood on this board, or WHAT?
