Pop! Goes the Icon

Oh Marvel how you are trying to empty out my wallet!! You drop Secret Invasion No. 1 on me, give me all this really confusing but intriguing Skrullishness, then hand me not only a checklist of the books forthcoming I’ll need to complete the story, but the Great Satan Joe Q taunts me for three pages, reminding me what books over the last three years (or 40 if you go back to the original Kree-Skrull nonsense) I missed that were chock full of hints leading up to the revelations laid out in Secret Invasion. Argh, you bastards.

Oh, and dear Dark Tower Comics: You are very nice and helpful in finding books at your shop, except YOU ALWAYS SELL OUT OF STUFF!! I have to now go to another store on Saturday to hunt down Kick Ass, both the reprint of No. 1 and the new No. 2.
