Speaking of prices: I can understad a hot issue going up in price a few weeks after relea because of demand, but I call bull shit on the price of a book being $15 on day of release. I'm seeing it more and more, particularly with Civil War books. this is one of the other reasons I'm not collecting them, I'll wait for the TPB.

Fortunately, I haven't seen anything like that with the CW books yet. The only $15 books I've seen lately--and there were two this week that I know about--were the incentive variants. And when I say I've seen them, I mean that figuratively. My comic shop doesn't get them in. I ended up getting the UFF 30 variant cover for $9 on eBay. The value went down pretty quickly since the seller neglected to put any kind of protective cardboard in the envelope, and it was bent up. I wish Marvel would just put out both covers in roughly equal quantities.
Speaking of alt covers, I'll easily pass up the CW second-print covers. I thought I'd have to have the Spider-Man unmask alt cover, until I found out that it simply features the panel from inside the comic, reproduced on the cover. I can do without that. All of their CW reprints will use that technique, except She-Hulk 8 and Thunderbolts 103. They'll get new, original covers. I still won't buy them, though.
