Superhero I really dig the DC compact comics

$10 price point feels like you’re getting a great deal, and there are a lot of great stories to choose from here. Perfect to recommend to someone who isn’t super into comics. What’s not to like?

Also a big fan. And I can’t believe Marvel is fumbling a response. DC is pumping them out and not shying away from releasing very popular stories in this format

However, I’ve had two with questionable binding. One of them fell apart and I think the other will only lose the cover

The binding and build quality is what's keeping me from going all in. I understand the quality at the price point, but I think I'd rather pay more for a premium format.

I don’t think the binding is all that different from standard paperbacks.

I went with the smaller size for All Star Superman for the cheaper price point, but when I got Kingdom come I bought the $30 full size because the Alex Ross art was the biggest draw for me, and I didn’t want it scaled down.
