Become a wait-for-trader?

@veshark: Yeah trades are nice. I try to find deals on digital trades. I just don't have much room to collect physical comics anymore.

Yeah, buddy. They are certainly an expensive hobby.

You can always look at the library.

I love double shipping! I don't have to wait as long between issues

though I do understand that some wouldn't like it

That is one great thing about double shipping the trades come out a lot faster..... If you are a Marvel guy. DC drop the price on their comics digital after a month..... The only DC book I read When it comes out is Wonder Woman.......

U can save urself some money using eBay. I've been buying the digital codes for all new x men from there. I have most of the issues except 3 and the ones I do have I have paid just under $2 and in some cases just $1. Just a little til to try and help ur wallet.

@humanrocket: Thanks for the tip. I'll have to look into that

My biggest beef with pricing is that you aren't exactly getting more for what you are paying. I mean, the page count hasn't really increased and having read some stuff from the 1980s, I noticed that there is a lot more dialogue in comics compared to today (it generally takes me longer to read old stuff than current stuff). So my worry with price increases is that it'll continue to get bigger but very little being done on the company's part in justifying paying those prices.

@juliedc: I agree. I'm done with a comic in 5 minutes and I just spent $4 or $5 dollars. That entertainment value doesn't always add up.

@humanrocket: thanks again. I just picked up All New X-Men 1-5 for $4.75.

I am pretty sure the price increases are due to inflation and printing costs, etc. I doubt the companies think they are giving us more now than they did in the past.

@bishopsummers: your welcome and I hope you enjoy all new xmen it's currently my fav series :)
