    Just wanted to point out that even though all the solicitations say 64 pages, the cover says 100

  2. Bendrix Bendrix says:

    Yep. They decidet to add some pages after the solicitation has been done. Price stays the same, though.

  3. Slockhart Slockhart says:

    Very nice… over three issues of content for less than the price of two. Even if its 36 pages of notes/sketches/etc, it’s still a good deal.

  4. Bendrix Bendrix says:

    I think they added the Origin of Daredevil and the Origin of Savage Dragon.

  5. Andrew Andrew says:

    It won’t be notes, sketches, or reprints in the back. Larsen will pack it full of stories. Not that all the stories will be good, but that’s how ol’ Erik does these 100 pagers. I think this is his 4th or 5th 100 page issue and that he’s also done a couple 64 or 80 page issues. I think after every 100 page issue he says "Never again!" but then pumps one out a few years later. 

  6. This is a make it or drop it issue of Dragon for me. The last few issues didn’t do much for me.

  7. Cool, 100 pages!

    @miyamotofreak same here.  I read TSD back in the 90s, and figured I’d jump back on at issue 145 or whenever the most recent jumping-on-point was promoted, but just haven’t been digging it.  A little too old-school, a little too cheesy.  I would have cut it for this week, but it’s #150, I figure I have to see what happens…

  9. Sai Sai says:

    Funny how the average rating is 7. didn’t know that could happen.

  10. Yeah, I’m going to drop this. Just not for me. 

  11. I am loving this book for most of the reasons people are not into it. This is brain candy. I think Larsen must be aiming for long time fans of comics who can appreciate a compressed, slightly silly, chock full of action with a hint of golden-age goofy. IMO this book is like Double Stuffed Oreos and Big Macs. If you think about icontents too much you know it’s not so good but at a surface level it;s great.

  12. I agree completely, Captain. This is just saccharin sweet goodness. I understand why some might not enjoy it, but it’s totally working for me.

  13. Great issue.

  14. Slockhart Slockhart says:

    Any pointers on how to store this?  It’s so thick that when i put (well… force) it into a bag, it starts to bow in the middle, and I don’t really want to keep it on my shelf with the trades.  I figure I’ll just buy a single of the next-size-up bag next week, but I was wondering if anyone had a better idea.

  15. Andrew Andrew says:

    Maybe don’t put it in a bag. :)
