It was so damn expensive because of the cost of the extra ink that was needed to black out all of Bendis' naughty words.

I thought it was dirt cheap, even at cover price. Can't remember what discount I got on it though. Probably 30-35%.

It's expensive because Bendis is poor.

He's gotta pay to keep that head of his bald.

It's 30% off at Amazon, even though they claim it's not out yet.

I got my copy. It is a really well done book. Super informative and full of great commentary.

And I like that Bendis credits me in his intro as getting him a job at Marvel. It was hilarious how he suggests how to break in "Wait until your best friend does and then ride his coat tails" or something like that.

He gave me way to much credit. The rest of the intro is funny too. How he says Joe doesn't want his art. Just his writing.

The whole thing is super cool. I would have loved a book with scripts and commentary like this when I was younger and trying to figure out how to write for other artists.

I bet the price was just right for you, huh, Dave? Wink

Good point. I saw inflation rose 0.6% last month. It's all his fault. Furious
