As many may know, Tuesday night, Avengers vs. X-Men, or AvX, hit many store shelves in an early release event. I attended one of these events, and found it was well worth the money I paid. First, probably as a part of the promotion, the comic was 25% off of its $3.99 price, and with tax, it was just $3.25. Granted, this is slightly more than other of Marvel's comics not in the Avengers line (excluding Avengers Academy), but it included a large amount of additional content that made it quite worth it. In an effort to encourage the purchase of print comics, Marvel included a code in the back of the book that could be redeemed on Marvel.com to get AvX #1 for free digitally. In addition, it included the first of Marvel's Unlimited comics, comics made to be viewed exclusively in digital form. This purchased separately from AvX #1 is an additional 99 cents. Essentially, I paid just $3.25 for content and other materials that have a value upwards of $5. To top all of that off, the comic itself is good! I'll review the content itself tomorrow when I finally am able to read this week's comics, but needless to say, it is a quite good one.
