only-the-young-avengers asked: Not a question, more of a statement; the Brubaker Captain Americas, Age of Apocalypse, Whedon's X-Men, Inferno and every single Daredevil omnibus are all going for upward of $500 online, half the time for a used copy. Reprint them, get more money, then people forgive you for stopping those perfect x-men statue. All of Marvel's problems solved.

brevoortformspring:

We’ve gone over teh Omnibus question here what seems like a dozen times. But to repeat again: those books are expensive enough to both produce and for retailers to stock that they’re not intended to be kept in print–once they’re gone, they’re gone. We’ll occasionally go back to press on one if there’s enough demand from the retailers to warrant it, but that’s a rare occurrence.

garbage like 50 Shades of Grey is printed everywhere in ever language and can be bought anywhere. Essential works by marvel are only available to the super rich and the super lucky.

Sounds like shitty business to me.

Sounds like i’m a fan of the wrong thing.
