Old Marvel Comic Books

Avengers vs. X-Men" #1 is out there, then. I was able to find a copy easily.It would be pretty hard for Marvel to blame retailers for this, I would think, since the company has a track record of weird release schedules, and this wouldn't be the first time in the last year that two consecutive issues of the very same comic hit the stands on the same day. So it's not like retailers would have necessarily been primed to take notice of this surprise early shipment.And with it, comes Marvel's new attempt at jazzing up the stale old single issue floppy -- Marvel's "Augmented Reality," which, as the early demos showed the world, allows you to actually, gasp, hear the clanking of Iron Man's armor!From what I understand, more than a few issues of "Avengers vs. X-Men" #1 snuck out to the public a week early, along with the as-scheduled issue #0, because of some advance shipping with no particular special notice in the Diamond boxes not to put the issues out with the other new comics.
