As I was ripping that creative, yet annoying Super 8 add out of my DC comics this week I decided to count the story pages. I had heard it mentioned that the 2.99 price would reduce story page counts. Honestly I had found the stories so engaging that It never seemed like I was losing pages. There were exceptions to this rule like Detective Comics because I couldn't help but notice the loss of the great Gordon Back up feature. Overall I don't mind losing two pages of story to save a buck. I read very few 3.99 titles, in fact the only one's I read are Invincible Iron Man, Uncanny X-Men and Punisher Max. I was curious as to how much Story I was getting for a buck more and whether it was worth it so decided to count up the pages in my copies of Uncanny 537 and Secret Warriors 25. Uncanny had 23 pages while Secret Warriors clocked in at 38 (I didn't count the intro page as part of the story). This got me to thinking about just how much more story I got from the latter book to the former, and how I paid equally for both. I was curious how do you all feel about the reduced page count in your favorite DC books? How many story pages do you think justifies your extra buck? For me I'd say about 32-36 pages is fair.
