Love me some Herculoids. The only one of these that doesn't really work for me is Scooby Doo. A fresh coat of paint on an older franchise can be good, but not if it's covering up what made it work in the first place.

I really can't afford to add more singles, but if they're collected in trade I'll try at least Future Quest and maybe Scooby and Flinstones (I never saw Whacky Racers as a kid, just Laff-a-lympics).

About 2/3 of the DC line was $2.99 and the big books (Batman Superman, JL, etc.) were $3.99-the $3.99 books originally had extra pages but that disappeared. Now it looks like all of DC will be $3.99 and the big books bi-weekly, so the $2.99 price point will disappear. Marvel has been at $3.99 for a while, but you do get a free code for a free digital copy when you purchase a Marvel book, if you want the digital code with a DC book you have to pay an extra buck for the combopack edition-which was only offered on the $3.99 books, making them $4.99 instead. There are a few $2.99 indy books (Image, etc.) a handful of $3.50 books form Image and Dark Horse, but $3.99 is the standard pricepoint all around, though $4.99 is creeping in in places. -M |

Looking at various trade paperbacks Saga Vol. 5 clocks in at 6.6 cents a page. Batman (Snyder) Vol. 6 clocks in at 5.4 cents a page. New Avengers (Hickman) Vol 3 11 cents a page. Marvel actually seems to be pretty expensive for trades. Keep in mind these numbers are from Amazon with free shipping. Not that there is any way I could buy new comics without getting them shipped to me...the closest comic book store is at least 70 miles from me. But even if I could I don't think I could justify the cost. Not when I can trade wait and get the story for a third to half the cost buying new. |

But even if I could I don't think I could justify the cost. Not when I can trade wait and get the story for a third to half the cost buying new. The only 2 monthly books I get are direct print subscriptions for the same reason. I do Dr. Strange which was 40% off cover price for the 12 issue sub, and Heavy Metal which was 45% off cover when I renewed for 2 years (12 issues). HM is normally $7.99 an issue for 112 pages (which is 7 cents a page), at the sub price it works out to $4.39 an issue (or 3.9 cents per page). Dr. Strange works out to $2.39 an issue or 11 cents per page, still pricey but better than a normal monthly. The monthly format at full cover plus having to travel to get them is just not a cost-effective means of acquiring entertainment for me. I do subscribe to Marvel Unlimited, which I do feel is a value for the cost, and I only choose to buy things I want to support for whatever reason outside of that model now, mostly in trades, rarely as monthlies. -M |

If you're willing to buy used, you can get for less and in pretty good shape sometimes. I can't go into Half Price Books without coming out with something comic-related. |
