Newsarama.com has done comics fans a favor by
totaling the cost of Marvel's Secret Invasion, at least through July.
April titles subtotal: $9.97
May titles subtotal: $18.94
June titles subtotal: $31.90
July titles: Subtotal: $42.86
Subtotal as of July: $103.67
And that's the half-way point.
One hundred and four bucks for a title with the tag line, "Who do you trust?", and that is meant to evoke the what - that our heroes are alien invaders in disguise? Hmmm....
A commenter at Newsarama makes a great point:
"So essentially we're supposed to buy in without knowing what the final cost will be. Imagine going into a movie theater, paying for a ticket to the first
half of the movie, without knowing how much they'll ask for the second
half."
