Avengers: Infinity War made me feel a lot of things. Like a lot a lot.

“Five years ago, Marvel was in charge, and they ruled everything I did as a retailer. It was ‘Marvel first.’ Now, they are the bastard children of the industry. I’ve lost probably 25% of my comic readership because 25% of my Marvel fans got tired of my higher cover prices, the non-sequitur storylines, the almost incomprehensible X-Men this and that… Marvel has done nothing to drive the industry towards us.”

How do you review a movie the whole world wants to talk about but doesn’t want to talk about? By giving people choices. So here, reader, is a choose your own adventure review. Navigate below for as little or as much feedback as you’d like. Please note: no portion of this review discusses anything that would qualify as an actual spoiler for the film, nor does any portion of the review detail anything more than you’d see in a typical movie review. But for some, less is more until you’ve seen it.

No Spidey... but plenty of symbiotes.

First $0.99 Marvel sale books rule the chart, now $7.99 Action #1000 is on top. That's what you call contrast.

Who actually pulled the plug and why are the Amazon prices so different from the Comixology prices?

Can one day of a $0.99 sale still make a book chart? Yes, it can.

You knew Google Play had heavy discounts, too, right?

We can tell you what's happening. Why it's happening may be a little more complicated.

While the lack of transparency has caused some confusion, a lot of the current Marvel discount situation is fairly standard operating procedure for Amazon, so let's walk through what's probably going on.

Two large volumes of '70s Avengers and the latest Peter Parker volume are where this week's sale starts.

Captain Marvel's "Ms. Marvel Years" and a Wolverine Epic Collection scored big orders on sale (while Doomsday Clock and Saga both outperformed Metal for the "normal" releases). Sometimes the fifth week of the month is a strange one.
