The first issue of the Avengers I bought was #273. Makes me feel old to read they are now reprinting #678!
ReplyDeleteI think the first issue of The Avengers I read was #2, DS, when it was reprinted in Smash! over two issues in the '60s. I don't feel old anymore - just ancient.
ReplyDeleteAmazing to think that they regularly restart the numbering on comics these days to make them more accessible to new readers. It never put me off, I actually liked the fact that I started reading many comics when their numbering was in the 2, 3, or even 400s. It didn't put me off, it just made me feel that I was reading something which had a history, a tradition, something venerable and eternal.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it's supposed to provide a 'jumping on' point for readers attracted to a new 'No. 1'. However, sometimes it's just as likely to be a 'jumping off' point for readers looking to curtail their spending.
