Are you talking about the comic price? Yeah, first issues are always a tad bit more.

It's not because it's the first issue. Look:J. Agamemnon said:

I dunno, cause when I started collecting new Avengers, the first issue was a little bit more. But it could also be the retailer price at my store. And I also forgot about the price/page.

OOOOOOH!!!!! LOW BLOW, LOW BLOW!
Screw that I loved it 4/5. it was said before; it feels rushed but it's probably meant to be that way.

New Avengers #1 was regular $2.99. Maybe you bought the variant? And if it's the regular cover, than it is your store, though I doubt that's supposed to be done.J. Agamemnon said:
Cardstock paper is heavier and when it's used, the prices go up on the comic regardless the page number. If it's 32 pages, the price is $3.50. 48, as you can see, would equal $3.99 becuase regular cover 48 pages with ads is $3.50.
Cuz the story was BETTER than $4.E said:Oh I know why. But the story wasn't good enough to justify $4.

I have the one that looks like a semi silhouette. And it had something else and it was 10 or 15 bucks.

They were about a buck when I started buying.
I became fed up and quit buying them when they began ballooning from 1.95 to 2.50.

That is quite a leap. I remember the last comic I bought as a kid was spiderman chained up and it was a double issue about the clone saga.

It started happening first in the X-Books, if memory serves.
X-books are always the ones that get more expensive before the rest.

So getting back, the transition with Iron Man from trying to stop it (Amazing Spider-Man) and now suddenly being for it....there was none. He goes from "Peter, we must stop this." to "We must let this happen and side with it!" just like that.

We did.E said:See? And we paid $4 for that?
But that one minor thing didn't hurt enough for me to go "$4 FOR THIS?!"

The story is okay, but the art is great.

Fair enough. But even prior to the formation of ANY version of the Avengers, Tony Stark was -- and still is -- a businessman, first and foremost, one whose formal actions, decisions, and strategies are determined by gauging market forces, the public interest, and the good of his balance sheet, whether he's acting as a philanthropist or a munitions dealer. His (reluctant) support for the Registration, as a matter of course, outweighs his loyalty to Cap, as a friend.Rorschach said:
