I definitely feel you on current comic prices but the books published now are increasing in quality of materials used so this sort of justifies the increased price. The shorter and worse/gimmicky stories are a letdown, though. I do like how Marvel has a few titles that also include a free digital copy but even though I always redeem the codes I don't re-read newer stuff all that often. It is a nice incentive, though.

A lot of the bigger independent companies have prices between 3-3.50 and given the stories and characters these prices tend to seem fair. Unfortunately, local independent comics tend to cost 5+ bucks so that's an eye-opener but I grab a few of these on occasion. Queso6p7 22:31, June 3, 2012 (UTC)
