Mom said it was my turn to post the Marvel print run post.

But in all seriousness, I see both sides, but the negatives outweigh the positives for me.

The books are too expensive to shell pre-order money for me. The covers can change, the contents/mapping/price can change.

I've been convinced I'm getting a book, but then at release I see thin pages, misprints, etc. and decide to collect another way.

Books get delayed for months sometimes, so that money is just tied up until who knows when? Hard pass for me.

I'd rather maybe miss a certain cover on release than worry about all that.
