Way to capitalize on the movie, IDW.

EDIT: Well, it looks like you can still pick up Volume 2... just not the first one.

thefourthman wrote:yeah, cause Marvel is so good, historically (I will admit they have been doing a better job in the last year, now if we can get them to use a numbering system that makes sense), at keeping things in print. That is why there are all kinds of Marvel Trades that sell for stupid amounts of money on ebay, when the issues are plentiful and cheap.
