For trade collectors

Apparently Amazon is selling off Marvel trades and omnibuses for a fraction of what they usually are.

Books not out yet and ones that are valued at around $75 are all going for $14.99 or less a piece.

They've got Civil war stuff, Iron Man stuff, Captain America, Ultimates, Avengers Disassembled and so on.

They're apparently clearing stock so once things have sold out their gone.

EDIT Annnd it seems like it's all done now. Hope you ordered them because they're back up in price. From what I hear your prices are still the same if you ordered, but maybe it was a glitch? Or a 1 hour sale or something.

So what did everyone get?

EDIT AGAIN- Looks like Amazon is just canceling orders because it was a glitch D: Sad Pandas all around

And something called Avengers: Standoff which I have never heard of before but is about Thor answering the prayers of worshippers of his who live in a dictatorship, Iron Man trying to stop him, and Cap trying to referee!

Oooh, I love that storyline. That's the one where you find out that Thor's hammer is one of the few things capable of denting Steve's shield, and that Tony's voice was the first thing Steve heard when he woke up from the ice.

Apparently, the Iron Man/Captain America book is going to have a reprint of the "azure eyes" comic in it, among other things. I am trying to think of any way someone could decide that that issue belong among a compilation of vital moments in Steve and Tony's friendship that doesn't involve a deeply felt conviction on the compiler's part that they're gay for each other, and failing.

Given the title is basically the ship name? I'm finding it hard to believe anything else.

seanchai's reaction when she heard about it was "So, who on the comm got a job at Marvel and didn't tell us? Because this TPB pretty much solely exists to promote out ship."
