Wow, awesome accomplishment guys! Nine years of character development and serial story-telling leads up to a crossover with a Jeph Loeb comic, and Spider-Man dying off-panel?
(I don’t really care if he’s actually dead or not; according to this he is, and this is the last issue of the series).
But to really kick fans in the teeth, Marvel decided to jack the price of this standard-sized issue up a whole $1.00, so you pay 33% more than usual for the same amount of comic (or less comic really, given the wordless issue takes much less time to read).
For nine years and 132 issues, they charged $2.99, and then they jack the price up by a dollar for the very last issue.
