I am sick of hearing about how great this series is and not having read it. I don't want to shell out $150+ for the issues though. Is there any inexpensive way to read the run? I think the original trades are rare and go for a lot as well. Are there later, cheaper printings of the TPBs?

When all the law suit [embarrasing lack of self control] ends they will all be reprinted, save your money until then. My suggestion is buy a couple of the cheaper issues and read first, then decide if you like it enough to spend big$. The writing and art is a little different ( not for everyone). I liked it, but certainly wouldn't shell out the prices the trades go for. You can buy most issues except 15-16 for fairly cheap prices.

MM is simply the best modern comic ever created.
If cash is limited - you can look out for the e-book versions - I got the whole series off ebay for $10.

If you dont want to go the e-book route, I would simply suggest buying an average condition run off ebay for $200 or whatever it goes for these days. Read it and then sell it on ebay again. Worst case scenario you'll lose $20 or so. Ya might even make a little money.

That's a good point. I might just do the quick read and flip. The problem is, if I end up liking the series as much as I think I will, I will want to keep them.

Quit draggin' your feet already and pony up!

One of the few series that is actually "worth it".

Funny thing, I did this about 6-7 months ago...ponyed up and won a MM set 1-20 (VF-NM) for about $90 as I recall, then spent around $50 more getting the last four issues!
But...
It IS a great series and is now part of the permanent Jayman collection!

You will likey!

I did the bittorrent thing, but now I'm going back and getting the issues. I imagine it would be hard series to read once and sell.
Does anybody remember that crazy rumor that Marvel's Sentry was really Miracleman and they were waiting for the legal stuff to settle before they would reveal it?
