May 20, 2011 3:36 pm @miltman  There's more info here:

http://www.comicsalliance.com/2011/05/11/are-marvels-2-99-comics-shortening-to-20-pages-of-story/

So it may not be a conscious policy. But, it's also been pointed out that many of these comics are shipping more often.

So, hypothetically:

12 issues a year, 22 pages an issue, $3 an issue = 264 pages for $36

13 issues a year, 20 pages an issue, $3 an issue = 260 pages for $39

May 19, 2011 5:01 pm This only had 20 story pages (as did Herc #3). I don't have any problem with Marvel reducing the page count on their $2.99 books, I just wish they were more up front about it.

April 14, 2011 2:12 pm I agree with @JNewcomb: unless you're a big, big fan of the main series, it's dispensible.

(But I am, and so don't miss my five bucks in the slightest.)

March 31, 2011 10:49 pm These were my very favorite toys. Still got a couple dozen in a box in my folks' basement. Not sure if the show will hold up now, but I'm looking forward to finding out!

"I went to Tom and asked him how much longer the Nomad back-up thing was running, because I had an idea that since we were doing 30 pages an issue, why don't I just have the backup story and the main story intertwining where scenes in them will reflect off each other?"

March 10, 2011 11:17 am I liked this, for the most part. I felt like the writer didn't quit capture Venkman's voice until about halfway through, but after that, it really clicked. And all the Ghostbuster-teknobabble about how to deal with the zombies and poltergeists was quite well done. 4/5 for me.

March 2, 2011 6:44 pm Picked it up and enjoyed it, though there were times I didn't quite know what was going on. First real contact I've had with G.I. Joe since the old cartoon went off the air. 4/5.

@Noto  Thanks for that, especially since I wasn't even aware of the existence of the CBDB!

February 28, 2011 2:55 pm I'm kind of on the fence with this one. I really liked the Star Trek tie-ins, but thought the rest of the Infestation stuff was just ok. Anyone know anything about the writer?
