"Thanks again, Marvel": At ICv2.com, complaints continue about Marvel's discount subscription ads, with Andy Battaglia of Comics Etc. in Rochester, N.Y., forwarding this email he received from a customer:

"I took advantage of Marvel's 50% off subscription deal. As a result, I no longer need you to save comics for me. Thanks for the service!"

That leads Battaglia to take several unrelated jabs at Marvel:

"What can I say, other than thanks again, Marvel; I guess the bright side would be we would not have to worry about not getting reorders from Marvel. Powers switching to Marvel is another bone-headed maneuver... is selling less really your goal? I just continue to look for ways to keep my Marvel orders under budget. And with half their line sporting bad imitation manga artwork, that's becoming much easier."
