I'm also amazed that people actually shell out the money they want for these things...for a lot less pages than I got when I was a kid.

Jeff Smith, who did a comic series called "Bone" aimed at kids, is retooling Captain Marvel. Might be something you might like.

And the new weekly series Countdown's main character will be Mary Marvel. Many think she's getting an ongoing title after Countdown is done.
