Reminds me of Avengers Forever TPB, which I got because of Carlso Pacheco. I looooved his art, but the story just lost me. But as they say, caveat emptor! :-)Carverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15990427797756098507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144999.post-86007263938333383812008-01-26T10:49:00.000+08:002008-01-26T10:49:00.000+08:00Anonymous,Agreed, but you couldn't oogle at the dr...Anonymous,<BR/><BR/>Agreed, but you couldn't oogle at the drawings of your fave friendly neighborhood artist, would you ?<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Equally AnonymousAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4144999.post-80408841290381878152008-01-25T22:17:00.000+08:002008-01-25T22:17:00.000+08:00The reason why I don't read comics anymore has not...The reason why I don't read comics anymore has nothing to do with the quality of the stories or the current state of the comic book industry. These days I prefer regular books over comics because they offer longer storylines for the same price as a comic book. At Booksale, a comic book and a regular book would cost about 40 pesos each.
