As you've probably noticed, Marvel Comics all start with a recap page whereas DC just goes straight into the book expecting you to know most of what's going on.

Do you read the recaps or just skip to the story?

I think its nice to have a recap erm

If Im just jumping into a storyline, I might as well have SOME clue as to whats going on.

i said waste of space for one reason

These threads will take any info and use it to their purpose,and if the comic is saying universe 10 times in the panels,and a writer(if it is one) states on the recap page its a multiverse(is it the same writer?) well there can be issues,

Privatley i like them,for issues with debating i dont like them

I like the recap page, sometimes it helps me buy comics. Like if I forget what issue I'm up to, a quick look at the recap page in a comics store can help.

I like the recap page. If you have to wait a month for each book, you might forget a detail or two - even if you remembered the general plot line.

I like them. I especially like when the writers have fun with them like Fabian or Peter David do with their books. smile

i say yay......like ppl have said, it's nice to have a lil reminder, especially when the books are 2-3 weeks apart.

Don't really care but it should be standard for long delayed books like the Ultimates.

I like the recap page as I'm eager to get into some other ongoings and I would like to choose to pick up previous issues as opposed to being forced to by not knowing what is going on yes
