The wait is almost over and Iron Man will be out in theaters. I think from the buzz I’m hearing, and the little I’ve seen. This is looking really good. I hope it does well cause Marvel Comics can use a new franchise hit. As it is, the X-men films are about done, and...

Have Trade Paperbacks Destroyed Back Issues?

April 26, 2008

I’ve noticed this for the past few years and personal experience as well. I remember the old days where if you missed a certain comic. You had to track it down and buy it. Even pay quite a bit more if it was a hot issue. Because for the most part, if you missed...
