November 27, 2012 4:28 pm I got swept up in comics in the 90s for 2 reasons: Preacher and Dark Horse's Legend line which included Sin City, Concrete, Hellboy/BPRD and Madman. I loved all of them but the art, color, and overall tone of Madman really stood out. I'm really looking forward to seeing Allred take on these characters.

November 27, 2012 9:03 am Has it been confirmed that this is a double-ship title? I thought it was only double shipping the first month.

November 27, 2012 9:02 am BPRD and Fables. In this age of reboots and renumbering its nice to know I now have 2 books that have reached the century mark uninterrupted. And in a couple months X-Factor makes 3. Even though it did get renumbered in the middle. Dagnammit.

November 27, 2012 8:58 am Matt Fraction's X-Men almost killed me but with these characters and the Allreds it gets a 2-3 issue audition. Not touching Fantastic Four with a 20 foot pole however.

November 20, 2012 3:55 pm Only one of the New 52 I'm still reading. Simply outstanding.

November 19, 2012 1:35 pm My then-girlfriend now fiance knew comics were part of the deal from the get-go and she has been supportive. The only thing she asked was that I stop using drawer boxes and start using bookshelves which I did and quite frankly, like better. That being said it wasn't so much the jump to $3.99 as the jump to $3.99 and a reduction from 22 to 20 pages. Of the two, the latter has bothered me far more. I know some people say what is 2 pages but it's 9% of the book. 9% gone and a 33% increase in price. That was like saying we're going to cut your paycheck by 9% but don't worry we're going to increase your taxes by 33% to make up for it. I am in comics because I love comics and 22 pages or 20 great comics are still great. But I have to be more selective. I have to pass on Hickman's Avengers because as much as I love Hickman I can't afford more than one double shipping $3.99 a book per month and Wolverine and the X-Men has that spot. So I just read New Avengers which was the title I was more interested in anyway. So I guess what I'm saying is that while the combination price increase/page reduction has made me a bit bitter it has forced me to be more selective, which is a good thing. I've also really come to appreciate the indie books that are still 22 pages, especially BPRD which is 22 pages and $3.50. If every book shipped once a month, with 22 pages and cost $3.50 I would be the happiest man alive.
