"Wow! Without discounts, or tax this is $356.78

Great story telling, but an expensive hobby :-)"

But there are some titles that have yet to be put on the schedule, such as:
CIVIL WAR: NOT BRAND ECCHH MASS MARKET PB …$3.99
CIVIL WAR: DEVIL DINOSAUR TABLOID …$2.99
CIVIL WAR: GHOST RIDER 2099 DIGEST…$1.99

And I'm sure we haven't heard the end of this uncivil exploitation.


Comments:
I stopped reading comics when they went past fifty cents. I really think that's still a reasonable price for most comics. This kind of tomfoolery borders on consumer exploitation, and they only way not to win is to choose not to be exploited.

I followed the comic vicariously, and was never moved to buy it. I sure won't at these prices. Good lord!

And since when did Reed and Tony get in bed with the Feds and move so far to the right?
