Bullet Points
There's a preview of the first issue of the 5-part mini "Bullet Points" that's due in stores next Wednesday.
I've heard JMS describe it a couple of times and wasn't really sure that I'd be interested. I don't really know much about Capt. America or some of the other characters it'll be touching on. After seeing the preview, though, I'm definitely going to be checking it out. Jan

If your local comic shop participates in Diamond's preview program they should have a copy of the whole issue in their store today.

Oh my: "It's a great change-up, and I'm starting to wonder if this sort of thing might be more my bag than an ongoing series, though I have to say I'm massively enjoying writing Thor at the moment." I realllly hope he doesn't drop Spidey or Thor.

rang 3rdplace (one of my fave local comic-book stores) and they have it
 although they do want 4 euro for it   .As a point of interest, how much is it over there? Phaze on the "just wanting to know how much I'm effectively paying for shipping it here" ID

It's going for the standard $2.99 that Marvel charges for most books. However, there's freaking 26 pages of ads versus the 22 pages of story!!!! F you, Marvel!

I see that.
Why am I paying 4 euro (effectively about $6 or twice the price) for a comic that costs $2.99? I'm going to ring around the (3) comic-book stores and find out how much they are chargimg for it. If it's 4 euro all round then I'll wait for the trade. Phaze on the "slightly miffed at rip-off prcing" ID replying to oneself is bad nettequitte so I'm editing this message. Yep it seems I got it cheap, the otehr tow stores wanted 4.15 and 4.25. I'm sufficiently miffed by this that I'll post soemthing in the newsgroup. In addition, rabid fan though I am of JMS's work, I'll be waiting for the trade. Phaze

If you actually want to make a difference, let the stores or the suppliers know and ask what importation or Customs fees they have to pay. Marvel, or especially JMS can't do a thing. From what I've read, Marvel is just as happy whichever you buy.

Interesting ... I am in the UK rather than Ireland, and get my comics sent to me by Forbidden Planet in Glasgow. The $2.99 Marvel titles all cost me £1.75, which includes a small discount (25p I believe) for having them on Standing Order.
Of course, I have postage to pay on top, but it is still a pretty good deal all around. [pedantic mode]Incidentally, 4 Euros is currently around $5.10 [/pedantic mode]

<sigh> I'll wait for the trade, at 5 comics in the mini it'll cost me 20 euro for the whole set, and the trade won't run me much over 12. I've not read it yet either, still have lots of other stuff to read. Phaze on the "was doing rough calculations old boy" ID

Welcome to the "responsible adult phase" *gg*
"Choose Life. Choose a job. Choose a career. Choose a family. Choose a fucking big television, choose washing machines, cars, compact disc players and electrical tin openers. Choose good health, low cholesterol, and dental insurance. Choose fixed interest mortgage repayments. Choose a starter home. Choose your friends. Choose leisurewear and matching luggage. Choose a three-piece suite on hire purchase in a range of fucking fabrics. Choose DIY and wondering who the fuck you are on Sunday night. Choose sitting on that couch watching mind-numbing, spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fucking junk food into your mouth. Choose rotting away at the end of it all, pissing your last in a miserable home, nothing more than an embarrassment to the selfish, fucked up brats you spawned to replace yourselves. Choose your future. Choose life... " PeAcE
