 40-years Avengers DVD-ROM Feb 06, 2010
Fantastic product! As a follower of Marvel comics for several decades, this is a must have! Like a lot of collectors, I've gone through different stages with my collection, adding comics until I had one room solely devoted to boxes of issues! Then I would purge them to add space, and then start adding again. With the Avengers DVD-ROM, as well as the other Marvel DVD-ROM's, you can have hundreds of comics at your fingertips on a single DVD. I love looking through the old issues, seeing the different combinations of characters, the wide variety of writers and artists, and the different styles of comics. If you're on the fence about buying this item, I would say go for it! Highly recommended.

Okay, does anyone have $200 to lend me? Nov 21, 2009
Otherwise, I don't see how I can afford to buy this! Let's use car products and services as a comparison. Tires I will gladly pay $100 each for, considering the value they offer me and my passengers in comfort and safety. The same goes for shock absorbers. But a collection of comic books? Please! Look, you can buy issue no. 2 of this series in F (Fine) condition for about the same price, and that would be an outstanding investment on your part. In ten years, it will probably be worth twice as much. And, depending on how old you are, the price you sell it for at retirement could be as high as $1,000! Many of the Avengers stories have been reprinted in one form or another. Many more of the original comics after issue no. 200 are dirt cheap in NM (Near-Mint) condition and can be found in your local comic book store. Sorry, this is too much money for a DVD, and the Captain America collection that is being offered for $600 right now is, quite frankly, RIDICULOUS! Get a grip. These are comic books, not a brake overhaul!
One final note: The prices being asked for by the seller(s) amounts to greed, pure and simple. Nothing less, nothing more. Come on... admit it... YOU'RE GREEDY! I understand about the "law" of supply and demand. That applies more to tangible goods that people really need, not collectibles. The original comic books are truly rare, and in near mint condition, are good investments and have earned their price tags after decades in the market. I could see paying $100 for this item (double retail), but not $200. And the $600 being asked for the Cap series is off the scale greedy. I don't care how long you leave it posted for that price. NO NORMAL PERSON IS GOING TO BUY IT! If someone pays the asking price for these two DVDs, they are obviously in a tax bracket that allows them to do so. However, even if I made $150,000 a year, I still would not pay this much money. Resist the urge to pay these high prices... show some discretion and stick with the rest of us poor schmucks in solidarity. Eventually, our protests will bring the price down. If the sellers want to move the item bad enough... they will acquiesce and bring the price down.
Addition: A couple of weeks ago, I got lucky and refreshed this page, which revealed that Amazon had gotten a hold of some remaining copies of this title, and of course, was offering them at retail. So, for $44.95, with free super saver shipping, I finally completed my collection of reprints. I didn't get the Captain America title, which they were also offering at retail, knocking the $600 competitor right off the sales floor. I have all of my favorite Cap stories from Tales of Suspense in the Iron Man collection, and the first twelve Captain Americas I can get in the Marvel Masterpieces. I have no need for any post-Kirby issues. Jack went over to DC after this, and produced some pretty cool stuff, which is still undervalued in the Guide. Actually, if I wanted to, I could buy C.A. #100-112 in Fine for about $200. But I am way past the investment stage of the game. In ten years, I will be selling my personal collection, which should bring about $50,000.00. I am already in the process of selling off the lower grade reader copies I bought 20 years ago. Those don't go up much in value, so I am basically getting my money back, which is still not bad in the economy we are in.
Thank you Marvel Comics for this Amazing collection!!! I wish you would do it again!! Apr 28, 2009
I would just like to thank Marvel comics and GIT Corp for this! I have read and loved this from the moment I received it on Christmas day! I wish it were still in print so that kids who love comics could read this! I really think the clowns who bought a bunch of these and are reselling them at astronomic prices should be ashamed of themselves if only because I remember being a kid who had to save and save just to buy an issue and this was a wonderful inexpensive way to read book and fall in love with reading. Anyway thank you Marvel for this wondrous gift, from a kid who loves comics but can't afford to read them all the time.
 The Avengers sure had a revolving door with membership! Apr 06, 2009
I liked the40 years of the AvengersDVD-ROM but it would have been nice if GIT could have had a chance to do more Digital Comics before Marvel decided they were losing a chance to capitalize on the digital comic service in the interests of a residual income source. But,alas, it's a dog eat dog world!
Well worth the price! Nov 02, 2008
All in all, any of the GIT corp collections ("the 40 years of" anyways) are well worth the [...] you pay for them. Any complaints about missing crossovers will apply to ANY comic title. Think about the story lines that jump not only around the X-titles but leapt to The Avengers, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, ect.
I've purchased the 40 years of X-men, Iron Man, Avengers and Spider-Man and love them all. About the only complaint I have is an issue with Adobe having issues with some disc burning software that seems to include a 3rd party PDF reader that will only display the 1960's issues of these GIT corp discs.
You're still getting over 400 comics for really great price, complete with original ads and the ability to print anything you want. Definitely worth the price.
I'm hoping that DC comics will follow suit.
