What a rip off. £600 for a collection of stories that been rehashed and/or re-released countless times and for much cheaper.

Just having a quick look I've seen many of these released for £6-7.50 per colletion, though many stores will sell them cheaper especially online (£5 abouts).

A lot gone out of print now but if they could release them then for such a price several times already they can do it again now.

Well, i think it is more for those who want to get into comics, they can experience some of the best stories without having to research find and ask around as well as not having to spend £15 on a TPB version when they can get a £10 hardback.

I mean for me it's useless as looking over the list I own just over 20 in either TPB form already or in original since issues. Some of them I don't rate either.



Hmm, pie.

I think the Fury is right this collection is not aimed at existing enthuisiasts but people new to the world of comics, and yes £600 is a huge chunk of money but by the sounds of it your current collection would equal/be greater value wise but you did not buy them all in one go! 

 

For me £20 a month is perfect as I would have no idea what to buy(albeit if it was cheaper or not) plus having the option to cancel at any time with no penalties is great :)

What story streams would you suggest that they haven't included?

Okay. I clicked the link and I'd like to subscribe. The price is very good considering that a single TPB usually costs me anywhere for $20-$50. Is this available in the USA?


From memory this is mainly UK/Ireland but I think there is an option for overseas delivery (with higher delivery charges) I will double check for you when I get home!

 

Hoq do you multiple post with iPhone? Don't wish to create multiple reply posts...

Sorry dude just checked for you, they currently only post within the UK & ROI - maybe you could use the list on the front page as a guide to buy issues you don't have?
