This was good. Loki's plan pays off and it seems like a change in the title for the time being.

It was good, I'll give it that.. but I just dont' think I'll stick with the book now. I finally saw the pay off, and while good, I just feel like it's been taking too long, and we haven't gotten near enough issues since it's started. Much as I hate to do it, I think this was my last issue.

Well, it
did take it's sweet time. I suppose it's because Coipel is looking over his shoulder half of the time to see if Arn isn't standing there.

I figured that was the case as well
While the art and story have been fantastic, that's my big complaint, is the delay in storytelling. I've read books like that before, where it was a whenever it gets out kinda deal, and I'm trying to stop doing that.

Trust me, I wouldn't want to stand behind Coipel. He would probably spread his legs. >.<

Dropped it yesterday when I went in... It was a fun run, but just not enough bang to keep me along for the rest.

This book is slow. Tell me though, this issue seems large. Is it a larger than normal issue? Or just have a bunch of reprinted crap in it?

Are the reprints even related to the new story?

They're from Journey Into Mystery, issues 106, 107, 112, 113, and 115.. so they're not recent

Considering the amount you spend monthly on comics, you'd think a dollar or two more wouldn't really make a difference.

Hah! How many comics do you get each month anyway, Wulf?

With the bump to most comics from 3 to 4 bucks, I have dropped over 20 issues from my monthly list.
I am sick of paying so much for mediocre comics filled with ads.

No wonder January sales were at an all-time low then.

No wonder. Is it me, or has comic quality of the story arcs gone a bit downhill over the last year?
