YES. I AM GONNA PASS OUT ON IC.
i wish i could tho. but i got so many shit to deal with plus im more looking forward to the DECIMATION line marvel's dishing in november.
so this thread is for people who is as head deep in expenses as me and cant afford probably the only substantial cross-over mega event in years to come. state your reasons and what will be your alternative/compromise drug for IC.
in the end, im probably going to DL this or as colossus17 would say steal it from the store

. how can you steal stuff from jim hanley's uni?

I'll join...I don't do subscriptions and TPB's generally...I just wait for them to come out in grouped volumes of 5-6 issues. Most of my reading is stuff from local bookstores that let you read without buying (being broke sucks). So I'll be sitting it out for a while...but eventually I'll pick it up (probably in a couple years).

Newsarama posted the numbers on what it would take to buy all the HoM and it's tie-ins and the IC etc...
Numbers came out to roughly $400 for HoM.
Numbers for IC were well over $700 with new tie-ins still constantly being added. Then there is that whole 52 crap which I find to be just an annoying marketing strategy. It's going to be a weekly that is .99? or 2.99? I don't remember.

@ chris
damn! i can see JoeQ's point now about DC's marketing policy. why else would you make all this tie-ins and keep your EIC implying to the fans "you wont understand the Crisis if you dont follow this and this," if they werent corporate driven?
@ DigiMark007
yeah it sucks doesnt it? dont worry, if i got hold of any torrent ill seed it till everyone gets it.

Stealing is for pussies. Just bring your comics to the counter and when the guy rings them up, punch him in the face and tell him he's lucky you didn't shank him and pay with his blood. Then walk out.
Pointinel
yeah
but i saw this dude who shoplifted an issue of ultimates he got caught and the management got him to pay 10x
but that is a very viable option

I used to go to this comic store owned by this old pokey ass guy and I came in every week or so and hung around looking for an hour or so, so after a while, he'd just leave the counter and go take a dump in the bathroom for hours. I started stealing shit immediatly, whole a-b boxes at once.
I got boxes full of shit I hauled out of his shatty ass store, I even got a 1st wolverine off his wall.
Robbed his ass blind.

I don't doubt that, but it was what we call in England 'a joke'.
Its not my fault our humour is slightly more subtle. (Although in this case it was anything but subtle).
Any way sorry about the financial problems, you have my sympathy's.
Where do you work ?
Pointinel

Pointinel
DAMMIT!

I'll just get my info from everyone here who gets them as soon as they come out. My next DC purchase is GL:Rebirth, so I'm already behind the curve a bit...I'm just resigned to having Crisis surprises ruined for me on the forums here. But I read the original Crisis knowing pretty much exactly what happens, and it still kicked ass, so hopefully this will be the same.
