There’s something more than a little apples-to-oranges about Tom Spurgeon’s list of comics you could buy for the cost of Before Watchmen in single issues – “This was me basically going, ‘I wonder how many Popeye collections I could buy on Amazon.com for that amount?’ repeated 13 times,” he explains – but it’s a fascinating thought experiment and a sign of how much truly amazing stuff is available out there these days.

    When the Avengers movie came out, there was that big movement to donate money to the Kirby estate to balance out money spent on a movie ticket. I found that weird because Kirby’s gone, the money goes to his kids, and it does nothing to address creators’ rights.

    But suggesting creator owned books that people could buy instead (or in matching, if the case may be) of supporting comics like Before Watchmen or the Avengers movie makes a lot of sense.

    I’m actually surprised no one’s done a “If you like this corporately own comic, you might also like this creator owned comic” list.
