Marvel Stinks

I am having a hard time trying to collect the X-Men: Messiah Complex but I can only get a few issues. Andy at my comic store said he can't order anymore because of Marvel (he doesn't have problems ordering from DC). Apparently they limit the print amount for each comic this way once they are sold out they are hard to get and a chance to raise the value.

Now DC doesn't do this they will reprint and reprint, is this good marketing from Marvel?

Well, provided you actually go the extra mile and pay a tiny bit more like apparently you're gonna do, seeing as it's not at your comic shop, then it works.

That is, except for the lazy DL'ers loophole.

X-Men haven't been ruined, their doing better than they have done for the past decade or so.

Not to mention the fact Marvel have PLENTY of goods books, people are just sheep and buy the big name books like New Avengers, Wolverine etc.

Captain America, Avengers: The Intiative, Iron Fist, Daredevil, The Order, Incredible Hulk (and/or Hercules), Iron Man, Astonishing X-Men, She Hulk, Thor, Punisher: War Journal, Moon Knight, Ms Marvel, Thunderbolts.. all off the top of my head.

If X-Men and Spider-Man are the extent of your Marvel reading, your really missing out.

If you can't get the comics, but want updates on the stories, Wizard Online does a good job of keeping up with the big events right now (Countdown, Messiah Complex, Spidey, Batman, ect..).

Eh, it's hit and miss, but if you take it for how it's intended; light-hearted, then it's an alright book I think. Either way the MAX variation of that book could easily make the list.

Not anymore, when I was young it was all about Venom, now I can appreciate it for what it is, or rather what it was.
