Comic Books Prices: How Much is Too Much?

On Nov 13, 2008 9:00 AM

For me, living in Australia, a $2.99 book is $6.60 and a $3.99 book is $8.80 at my LCS.  For this reason, $3.99 books are out of the question and I now order books based as much on price as anything else.  I look at the cover price of a book before anything else.  If all books went $3.99, my comic book days would be over. I imagine a lot of non-North American readers are making...

This story reminds me of a very short Ray Bradbury tale. Thanks for another smile, Paul.

I've mostly lurked for several years and only registered recently, but I have to comment on the discussion above about the "integrity" of the POW. The iFanboy mission statement (as far as I understand it) is for each of the three members to pick the book they liked the most on any given week.  Not the most pulled book, not the book that is superior from a technical or theoretic...

iFanboy Mini - Episode #79 - Asterisks in Comic Books

On Jul 4, 2008 9:06 AM

The asterisk made me feel like the stories I was reading mattered; that there was this big story I was a part of now.  Even if I couldn't find the issues, I still loved that there was a history behind everything. Sure, the web provides an incredible information source to readers, but I believe asterisks have a place in modern comics too.  Especially in something like Secret Invasion...

Great show guys, despite being tired. What was it with the super-action double-page spreads this month at Marvel?  4 in New Avengers, 3 in Hulk, then 1 each in Runaways, Iron Man and Ultimates 3.  Am I just noticing them more because of New Avengers?  And most of these had no dialog.  I feel like I'm paying for poster books sometimes.

" Dynamite Entertainment apparently monitored my childhood very closely".  It feels so like that with some books.  Friday is new comic book day over here (not Wednesday), so guess I'm adding this to my stack tomorrow.  Damn it.

You're OK by Me Joe

I've been wondering exactly the same thing for a while, Josh.  I've been a comic reader for 30 years (since 11 yrs old - do the math) with only a brief gap in the mid-90s like many others.  I personally think Marvel comics are better than they have ever been.  So when I read one of these nasty, all-damning, "your a loser" attacks against JoeQ, I can't figure out w...
