Amlah and you have been calling me a corporate whore for a while.

Hmmm... One search response and it's you calling yourself a corporate whore.

EDIT: Now two, both you.

Got you to pick MG over a FI tie-in, did it not? Mission accomplished!

And don't play like you were always planning to pick MG. We all know it crushed your soul not to pick Marvel.

Not really, I had 3 possible choices in my head, either MG, Fear Itself: Book Of The Skull or THUNDER Agents.

That's one Marvel, one DC and one Indie.

I have balanced tastes.

Pedant, you may not have used the exact phrase, but you implied it!

Say I get 20 hours out of a $60 video game.

I would have to buy 80 Superman comics to be entertained for the same amount of time.

Comics aren't a super great value anymore. It's a boutique industry pricing itself out of relevancy, obv.

See, I think $60 is too much for a video game, they've gotten too expensive. That's why I only play DS, where games are on average about £20 (on Amazon).

That's 2/3rds corporate. Whore!

A real whore would have all 3 slots open for Corporations!

Those are all good books, THUNDER Agents less a good pick just because of the point in the story it's at. Would be interesting though.

Until you provide quotes it's just more of your Straw Men..

Yeah, but it's in no more of a confusing place than Secret Warriors was, or this week.

Oh! I called you a French whore...is that what's got you all mixed up?

Pfft. A real whore (you) would include an 'indie' to disguise their corporate whore heart.

Besides, it's not like you picked a self-published comic, stop patting yourself on the back.

I don't think it's really feasible to pick a self-published book, the logistics of everyone finding a copy would be hard.

Creator-owned is the best we can go for.

I'm not particularly patting myself on the back, I like Big Two comics, and consider them to be of equal value to indies, you have to judge each book on it's own merits.

He considers them all to be 7/10s in his book.

Typical reasoning from a Disney/Warners comic book consumer.

This is also true.
