Bout time they did this shit. More money in my pocket is always a good thing.

WooHoo! Great news.

Believe it or not guys this is largely thanks to digital comics.

Fantastic. I might actually look at getting a bit more comics. Maybe.

This is a good sign. I think they should also drop unessarry titles to go along with this as well.

I see that not as likely but who knows with these companies.

Good news indeed. That $3.99 price tag has got to be a contributing factor to drops in sales.

I'm very happy about this.

So what happened to Marvel’s new-title price cuts, anyway?

You know what? Screw you Marvel. They are royally pissing me off lately. Almost all of the books I buy from them are $3.99. I'm dropping more and more. I'd drop all Marvel books, but I love certain characters and certain writers too much to do that.

While still pissed at Marvel, I do have to say that I didn't know there was going to be a Ultimate Captain America mini. I look forward to that.

I actually dropped all my Marvel books because I refuse to pay $3.99. The only book I pay that price for is Emerald Warriors and it's because it's Green Lantern and it kicks so much ass. Not to mention soon, it will be $2.99 so suck it Marvel!

I have more Marvel books on my list but I'm glad I only have 16 or 17 books a month now. I kept the books that excite me the most.

I have about 7 DC books (mostly Bat related books, The Flash, GL and Secret Six) 4 Deadpool books, Kick-Ass, (all of which are 2.99) and five 3.99 books from Marvel (The 3 Avengers books, X-Force, Jason Aaron's Wolverine, and (R)Hulk) I dropped about 5 to 6 books in the last 6 or so months.


But I get 15% everything. so I never pay 3.99, it's 60 cents off 3.99 and 45 cents off 2.99- so it's not so bad. Right?

I decided that adding most one shots or whatever is sorta pointless, books don't (rarely) sell out these days and I hate having to 'commit' to more books when I can just grab them off the shelf and get rung up, so I just put my 'most hyped' books for now.

I just hope stuff like Moon Knight and Heroes For Hire is 2.99, because it seems like it'll be great stuff that might be good to replace the purging of Deadpool (I think they're just leaving 2 titles starting in March)
