Back when I was at the height of my comic book collecting, I'd probably buy at least 6-10 comics in a given week, which would add up to about 30 comics (give or take) a month.

Granted, at the time that was like $30 a month because comics were still hovering around a dollar or so, but if I was buying the same amount today it would be closer to $150.

Sure, I could see $100 a month (~$25 a week) being an unrealistic expense for kids on a small allowance or someone who lives on limited support in some way, but for an actual adult who has a job, $25 a week for entertainment expenses really isn't a lot. Even when I had the worst job I've ever had in terms of how much it paid (when I was in high school), I still made that much in about 2 hours worth of work.

If someone really loves comics, and it's their main source of entertainment, I can easily see them spending that much a month, and it being fully justified.

(If anything, the only crazy thing I can think of regarding spending $100 a month on comics is that I find it hard to think of enough comics worth reading right now that actually add up to $100 - the industry is kind of in one of its periodic ruts where most mainstream stuff is shit.)

I cant emphasize how much I love the fact that NMB completely ignores every post that criticizes him.

It's probably not that he's ignoring them, as much as it is he has half the posters on the board blocked so he probably can't see them in the first place.
