Feature: Decompressed Storytelling

DECEMBER 2012 VOLUME 1 ISSUE 6

Nathan Edmondson (Where is Jake Ellis?) is currently writing the 4-issue Ultimate Comics Iron Man exploring the origin of the Mandarin. Unlike independent comics, playing with the Marvel Universe means keeping the main character alive as he goes up against his adversary. Tony Stark is two issues into the series with no idea on the identity of the Mandarin. At a price point of $3.99 each, the first two issues seem to be a costly waste of paper. Each story arc is decompressed so it can be collected in a future hardcover or trade. More comics need to be designed to be read as monthlies.
