I don't think the 'House of Ideas' (what a misnomer that is lately) is going to be happy until you cash in your retirement funds and children's college funds and give it all to Marvel.
Weeks after the completion of "Civil War" a 7-part mini-series with over two-dozen tie-in stories, all of which were over-inflated and drawn out, with a resolution that could have been met in five or six issues total, the company has now announced re-productions of the series.
Only, instead of simply selling trade paperbacks, According to Newsarama, Marvel is going that one step further and re-printing the issues on a monthly basis, this time as double-sized issues told in specific order with all of the tie-ins.
How much more cash does Joey Q expect to milk out of Civil War??? Nobody is buying anymore! Those of us who bought all the issues initially are unhappy with them, and those who didn't buy them are likely thrilled they were able to see this waste of cash coming in the first place.
The market is so over-flooded with tie-ins that all this is going to do is screw over comic book stores who are looking to unload their unsold inventory -- the same stores that were lured into buying such a high number of each tie-in because the story seemed so promising. Now, with a crappy story and too many unsold issues already, Marvel is going to squeeze that last bit of blood from the stone by hitting up the casual curious fan with new prints.
PATHETIC.
