Stuff like this is why I prefer buying actual physical media over the digital alternative. Although I do buy most of my video games digital only via Steam these days, almost everything else I still buy physical copies of.

Also I think Jim Shooter was on to something when he got Marvel sales up back in the 80's by requiring the books to come out on time and that each tell a great story. Of course he let all that power and success go to his head and let his ego destroy a lot of the good work he'd done by tinkering with everyone's comics too much and injecting too much of himself and his own ego into Marvel's line with Secret Wars 2 and New Universe.

It's fine to have words and taglines on covers, eh? And action!
