I love the Marvel Unlimited service, and just recently grabbed a discounted price for the Plus year-long service. If I read one comic every day, I'm paying 20 cents per issue for a year (and if I do feel inclined to read a story again later, then I can probably justify buying the trade). (The Rocket statue and issues are an added bonus.)
It's great for catching up on things before I started collecting, or recent things I can no read because I certainly can't buy everything that comes out.
Great article! This will help me make sure my LCS gets every dollar they can out of me without me ruining their stock by not notifying them of what I want to pick up.
Question: Did you have a minimum title count for a pull list? One store near my college didn't, so my pull fluctuated between 1 and 10 titles, but I knew they would always have my comics. My current comic shop has a minimum of five and so, unfortunately, I currently don't have a pull because I'm only buying 3 titles. I know Midtown Comics has a minimum of ten, which I think is asking a lot of the casual collector. Do you feel putting any sort of number on holding issues for regular customers hinders or enhances sales?
I don't want to have to get Futures End #21, but I might have to read a few of those issues to see just where this story goes. But I have a feeling it'll just keep going and I won't be satisfied with buying just a few issues.
I was really disappointed this wasn't a one-and-done story like so many other Futures End Month issues. :(
I was all excited to check out what the hype about Booster Gold was, but I'm left without a resolution to his peril. Half a story (well written though!) without any hope for a conclusion next month.
It'd be great if one of the Spider-Men is regular-world, no powers universe Peter Parker who has radiation poisoning from the spider-bite and has three weeks to live, and uses his smarts to help save the day during Spider-Verse.
Not having Iron Man have a fourth movie has been part of the cinematic plan for a while now. Marvel Studios is focusing on other characters, and IM will develop through the Avengers movies.
If anything, RDJ will probably just be Director of SHIELD in Avengers 3 and only put on the suit for the climactic battle.
How many issues will this have? I know the main Multiversity title has 8 issues, but what about any other tie-ins like Pax Americana? That makes it 9, but are there any more?
I'm split between single issues or the trade. Except that DC puts out their trades 6-8 months after the last issue, whereas I'm spoiled with Marvel only waiting 3 months/almost immediately to put out the trade collection.
On this list, I'd love to see Captain Marvel (Carol Danvers) on the big screen. Though I almost voted for the Inhumans. Especially since Black Widow and Black Panther movies have pretty much been confirmed (right?).
But not on this list, unfortunately, is Nova. I'd really love to see Richard Rider become a part of the MCU and the Avengers after GotG blows everyone away in its awesomeness.
