Death to the Graphic Novels and Collected Editions?


I was in Borders today and stumbled upon a couple of amazing products. There several DVDs, each one containing the last 100 issues (up to April 2007) of:

The Amazing Spider-Man
Ghost Rider
Fantastic Four
The Incredible Hulk
The Avengers

Each was over 3000 PDF pages of comics...for $10.99 each.

100 issues takes you back to Spring of 1999 so that makes each separate issue price around $2.75. That's a helluva deal. I almost bought them but I thought I'll check online to see if I can get a better price. Interestingly enough, I cannot find them on Border's site or Amazon.com. However, I DID find this jewel:

The Collected Civil War is 199 issues of Marvel Comics. It's all of the various threads and tie-ins to last year's monumental Civil War storyline. And it's $50. That's less than one tenth what buying the series would have cost you. I would assume it's in order too, which is also pretty amazing.

  • You know, I'm not a comic reader, but I would imagine half the experience is having the pages in your hands, isn't it? I have a hard time with curling up under my covers with a flashlight and my laptop. Maybe that's just me, though...after all, Internet porn caught on, didn't it? ;)
