How big are the 4.99$ books that came with Thor #600, soon Captain America #600,Daredevil #500 and such. They all say 4.99$ and 104 pages, but online I read it was only double sized, so isnt that only 64 pages?
Also, will they go back to 2.99$ as usual? Or stick with 3.99$ for 32 pages like Thor?

New Avengers 50 was the worst, I felt rip off that it was just about 36 pages or more and the last 8 pages were just a preivew of fantastic four dark reign. 5.99 for this?

I tell you, my solution to all these price hikes?
Every comic should become bi-monthly over-sized 104 pages at just $4.99 each, this would be cheaper for us in the long run, cheaper for Marvel to produce and would cut down delays as well, everyone would be happy.
Until the next price hike that is.

4.99$ does not bother me if it's a special oversized issue. Thor 600 was well worth it, I'm probably gonna check out Daredevil too and of course I'm getting Cap America 600 as well.

ASM was announced as having 104 pages.
THOR apparently had the same page count.
Dunno about DD or CAP's big issues.
....so at least Marvel hasn't changed the price point for the 100+ page comics.

I was referring to the 100-Page Monsters that Marvel was going about 10 years ago - those were $4.99, IIRC. Originally Posted by Iron-boy

i remember thor being really worth it. the issue was great (as usual), but they also threw in a bunch of other stuff in as well. A short story written by Stan Lee for one. You actually did get what you needed out of that one.

Yeah, it was a double-sized main issue, plus a bunch of really fun back matter. The Stan Lee story was beautifully drawn, the reprints were worth reading, and stuff like the Mini Marvels take on recent Thor issues. Originally Posted by CaptainOtter

Its main feature, besides the main Brubaker/Lark story, is a David Aja (IMMORTAL IRON FIST) backup written Ann Nocenti (who I don't think has written a comic book since she left DAREDEVIL about 20 years ago!) Originally Posted by Hrist

I think someone at Marvel said that Bru's main story in 600 is like 40 pages. I bet the other 2 stories (Waid and Stern) will be like 12 each. Super stoked for this to come out and then to find out what Reborn is all about. Originally Posted by Hrist
