As Friends Rust would be a cool opening.

3.99 is too much to pay for gas and comics. Every week I look at all the great comics on the wall only to walk to the trades and buy that trade you guys talked about last show. 3.99 is change I can't belive in. I am out. Done with single issue format.
I do have a suggestion/dream/ignorant rambling. I would love to read every single secret invasion crossover but I refuse to pay that much. 1 buck per book sounds fair to me. News papers cost 50 cents. ok so you take the two and mix them and you have the the funny pages. Why can't I buy cheap stock pulpy comics? Make like comic newspapers with a bunch of stories. Nova is great, i read it for free at borders and i feel guilty. Continue to press the books and charge whatever the people who keep cd stores in bussiness will pay. Just give me the story in a form that i can afford, throw away and consume again.
Just a thought.
I am going to buy BCM’s book my next trip the shop. That being said, I think sir is a little off base. Some one getting into comic books these days needs a helping hand. I found ifanboy to be perfect for my interests. I did not read comics before my girl friend started taking a graphic literature class. I bought Batman DKR and feel in love. We broke up a few weeks later and I had no one to help me out. Most people are getting into comics are college age not pre-school. We are adults here and I am glad someone is keeping an eye on Spider-Man. If it is good, I will buy. What’s the issue?
I found ifanboy and discovered a site built exactly for me. I knew as much about Marvel comics as I did about Top Shelf. I found incredible books with no genera bias. Just great material. I bought The Spirit because the guys raved about the paper it was printed on. I bought things I would never have known about, if not for the site. They and I suspect others, are trying to break down the genre walls and help prove comics as a medium to everyone. Don’t put down spider-man 17963709630 because it’s somehow less pure than a cooperate-less indie. Both have a great amount of merit.
What I am trying to say is that without groups like ifanboy, I probably would have read DKR, 3 years ago, went back to borders; picked up Age of Apocalypse and quit after that. This site is about the medium, not the genres. I am pretty sure that I am not alone in getting so much from a site that asks for money less than PBS.
