Did you click the link? It ain’t just Marvel… and let’s not forget about all the other memorabilia people are shilling out…
UGh here we go again i’m gonna be the badguy.
This Comic book is a travesty im tired of the coverage it gets now we’re goin to the 5th printing and people keep jumping this bandwagon and im hoping the wheels fall off. seriously and reatilers are here making there quick buck off it as is narvel but are we really getting more readers. that is the question and the answer is NO i seriously doubt if any of these people have actually read the actual story most likely they are just here to say i have a peice of “history”. and lorf Forbid that Obama turns out to be the worst President in american history (im not saying he will but hypothetically) then what happens to all these issues will people stil want it or will they get mad at marvel for printing this and showing support for the wrong person. i havee supported Marvel all my life thru the good and the bad but when this issue came out and i read that story i really thought about quiting. i thought to myself maybe i should stop reading comics. this issue was CHAPTER 1 bad you know what this is WORSE!!!! this is far beyond epic fail this is an ABORTION! DONE!
Don’t make me whip out the commemorative coin…
… or were you agreeing with me?
Negative…..this is a fail!
And proof that this is ri-god-d***-diculous? http://www.comicartcommunity.com/gallery/index.php
Nuff… said…
I hear that someone isn’t all too thrilled that so many people are cashing in on his image without him getting a cut… and I kinda agree with how he feels..
