"We here for your wallet!"
Having trouble filling your gas tank lately? Try keeping up with Marvel & DC's big summer events and see how much green's left.
Matt Brady, at Newsarama.com, has done us all a great service showing how big a dent Marvel's "Secret Invasion" and DC's "Final Crisis" will put in your bank account.
The final Secret Invasion tally:
"The Whole Shebang: $316.98, or just about airfare from Chicago to San Diego and back for Comic-Con ($359)
"Total Book Count for this event (to date): 85 official, and 18 unofficial tie-ins, for a total of 103 Secret Invasion tie-in issues."
And the Final Crisis total:
"
The Price So Far: $115.14, or about 29 gallons of gas (based on the current national average)
"Total Final Crisis book count (to date): 30."
Glad I'm not jumping on those bandwagons.
"You want how much?!?"
