Astonishing X-Men: Ghost Boxes #1 is a rip off!

[Frankenstein]

16 pages of story for $3.99?!? The rest is just pages of Ellis' script with sketches. Avoid this mini at all costs and wait for #28 to come out.

I didn't even look at this...Thank goodness!!!

I've thought this since it was solicited. Why couldn't this have been worked into the regular series? It kind of turned me off from the beginning.

I keep getting Astonishing Xmen pulled for me at the store, even though I said I only wanted the Whedon/Cassady run. I made sure to slyly put it back on the wall, and now I'm especially glad I did. I read Ellis's issue 26 and just couldn't get into the story, although I admit its mostly because the art is just not my cup of tea

This was in my pullbox and I thought that it was the newest issue. Glad I took a closer look. I have started putting my items in order based on cost. I doubt that I would have caught it had I not done so!

I am making hard decisions based on the $3.99 price point. If this is the future of Marvel, count me out.

Issue #2 was waaay better than issue #1. I agree the price point is a rip off considering the amount of story pages. I bought it without flipping through it.
