Don’t get me wrong, this was a good comic and the original content alone probably would have earned this a 4/5. My problem is that this so-called “packed” anniversary issue is 5.99 and less than half the weighty page count is original material. Dear Marvel Comics, I know you have raised the price of comics and we’re all getting used to that, all that I ask is that if you are going to charge nearly double the cover price for an issue that you make a majority of that content new. This issue was less a milestone than a needless price gouging. If this comic had been released minus the copious amounts of reprinted pages it would have been easy to cut the price by a dollar at least. Please, Marvel comics, I try to support this art form but when my wallet gets needlessly gouged I get a little jaded. Oh, yeah, otherwise this issue was really good.

Story: 3 - Good
Art: 5 - Excellent
