    Whats the bet those tacos he thinks are the best in the world are really stale and boring and nobody else likes them.

      Actually the tacos he’s talking about are extremely delicious. If you are worried about their authenticity, the taqueria he’s talking about is legit.

    One of the reasons that Civil War sold so well is that it was the first major event in a LONG time. The grandeur of Marvel’s special events has worn off, and none will sell as well as Civil War until there is another extended break between events. nnFor obvious reasons, you will not hear Marvel admit this. It is probably more profitable for them to make event books that don’t sell as well than it would be for them to give the event books a break for 2-4 years in exchange for a smash event again.
