Quiet honestly the greatest show on television. I'm not even partially joking.

Any show where my daughter can learn to beatbox with Biz Markie then listen to The Roots sing about the importance of family is simply: time well spent.

When people cite the upfront cost of the iPad (or any other reader/tablet) as @mikeandzod21 did, I shake my head.


The price of the reader I eventually buy really makes no difference to me in the long run. I'm old and thusly have realized that things eventually pay for themselves. Looking for long term value, as opposed to cheapness, is one of the things that comes with age, along with sagging bodies and white hair.


An upfront cost doesn't mean I'm never going to have a savings in my comics. Conversely it doesn't mean I will either. The numbers speak for themselves though:


If I spend an average $25.00 a week on comic books, I spend $1300 a year total on paper. I spend upwards of 4.25 and 4.75 an issue now on each book, assuming for a moment that comic books will cost half as much on a digital platform, the iPad pays for itself in about 12 months.


From that point on I save either half my money or double the number of books I buy. Either way I win.


Maybe *I'm* the one looking at it wrongly?

Sweet jesus! Won't someone think of Bruce Campbell?!

Whoops, this isn't a casting thread... move along.

I'd love to get some Drawerboxes, the shipping cost to Canada of $70.00 + $20.00 brokerage and duty is excessive though.

 Sad face.

As a Canadian I'm better than the rest of you.

Wait-- is this not how the game works?

You know what's really exciting? The other studios likely don't have access to any Marvel characters anymore, just like Warner Brothers has all the DC characters wrapped up.

It's a good day to have an independant superhero book. Right?
