I was checking the shipping list at my comic shop to make sure LSH was out this week. This is what comic book guy had to say on his store's shipping confirmation.

Also out this week is Fantastic-4 a Death in the Family. I must say, if Marvel keeps hyping crap like this, it just makes it harder for me to order the good stuff in proper amounts. If you want to check it out, I will sell you a copy for $2.00 (reg $5.75) and if you can send me a review with a single good comment about this book, I will give you your $2.00 back.!!
I'm guessing FF:Ditf is a book he has to order a certain number of to ensure access to Marvel's dealer incentives.

Surely some completists will buy it, which could be what Marvel relies on. (Sucker marketing, if it's as bad as the guy claims?)

It would be tempting to take him up on the $2-back offer.

My Operations prof once told me there was no difference between marketing and lying, the marketing prof denied that this is true.

Ewwww... that DOES sound sucky.

Definite pass.

Actually, I'm on the verge of dropping the main FF title as well. I just haven't been enjoying it lately, and I'm on this whole "if you're not enjoying something long term, get rid of it" kick.

The only reason I bought this was for topless Johnny, but now I realize I would rather have had a Mike Weiringo drawn topless Johnny but it wasn't TOO much of a waste of my money.I hope.
