Who really likes these?

What is going on? Why are companies putting out first issue after first issue? Companies look at the numbers and they might show sales but what else do they show? The past few number ones I read don't begin a story as much as continue eight months after the ending of the Secret Wars, especially since the series didn't end yet.

I recently picked up a Marvel Super Heroes issue 23. This .25 cent comic book has three stories in it. Wouldn't it be nice if Marvel would continue this? Continue with their $1 books months or years after it was originally released. This comic book was cheap compared to the money it would have cost me to buy the originals.

Marvel has forgotten the collector. They continue with multiple covers, but the inside stays the same. This won't change for a long time and might very well get worse. If it does, I think I'll continue looking for some good deals here and there. I'll start at the New Jersey Expo in Edison, maybe I'll find a book or two that's worth having.

Thanks for reading
