Fact about me: One year I spent almost $500 on comic books.
I was young and naive. I told my local Comic Book dealer that the upcoming Marvel event, Secret Invasion, looked fascinating.
OwenBanner I asked him to pull every comic book that had anything to do with it. You may or may not read comics (If not, there are some incredible stories you're missing out on). Let me explain how these things work. There's a main event that happens every few years. It's big. 5y
OwenBanner There are probably 5 episodes that form the meat of that event. But...but there are all the already running comic books, and, with a company like #Marvel, each of those smaller stories ties in to the action of the main event. That means Spiderman, Black Panther, X-Men, Avengers, Mighty Avengers, New Avengers, etc. Each of those comes out about once or twice a month too. 5y
OwenBanner You can see how all this is going to start adding up. Well, three weeks in, I was already hooked. The story was just too good. I couldn't back out. I gleefully threw my money on the counter every week and walked out to devour the next installment. Best $500 I ever dropped on entertainment 5y
