52 The Novel: When Books Become The Easy Way Out
I was at my local book store when I came across the novelization for the mega DC event, 52. It was published last summer, so I may be rattling off info that you may already know, but my first thought when I saw this was a big...huh?
And then I realized that this was a very good, inexpensive way to catch up on your favorite comics that you may have missed. If you wanted to collect all of the 52 trades, that would cost you around $80 plus tax. This book runs around $15. That's relatively pretty darn cheap. Of course you communists can just go to the library, but I prefer a certain sense of ownership.
Now as for the quality, it seems to be above average, judging by its Amazon.com score. But this may be the first time I'd feel guilty for reading a book and taking the easy way out.
Has anyone checked this out? If so, what'd you think?
