Secret costs in the Invasion

Newsarama has a nice little feature up at THIS LINK, simply adding up the cost of the many tie-ins to "Secret Invasion."

And while they were only able to add up the first half of the story (through July) as the rest hasn't been solicited yet, the cost is still just over a hundred bucks. For half a story.

Keep in mind, it is just $16 for the four main series issues of Secret Invasion included in this price.

My opinion? Keep a close eye on each issue's description and thumb through the issue before buying. Marvel has a habit of making half the tie-ins to an event make absolutely no difference in the long run (see "Civil War" and "World War Hulk").
