Not to derail the conversation, but I've gotta be honest, I don't either, or at least new ones.

Marvel Comics hasn't gotten a dime from me since Thor became unworthy. DC was sometime before Superdoomsday and Gordon Robocop Batman. I was picking up IDW Transformers, but I also do buy TF's and when I kept getting "double" issues by getting the issues with the figures after buying the original sale comic, I moved over to just downloading them since I didn't know which ones I would get later with a figure and which ones I wouldn't.

TBH, I don't know how anyone reads comics anymore. Between the price and that they can't seem to tell a story anymore. It's all crossovers or "big" events that require 30 titles to understand, or it's by writers who don't seem to understand the characters they're writing or shoehorning some other character in them, and it doesn't matter because they'll be writing someone else in a few months anyway due to the next shakeup.

Yes, there's hyperbole there, but the point still stands.

Of everything Marvel, with some slight irony, the comics are the weakest part IMHO.
