I've been on my second wave of comic collecting for a couple of years now, and I have to say the tie-in book really has spread like dandelions. In the short time I've been back, we've had EVENTS like Infinity Countdown (2018), Infinity Wars (2019), War of the Realms (2019), and now Absolute Carnage (2019) (all from Marvel). DC has Year of the Villain (2019), but I took a pass on that. All of these series came with related Tie-In Books. It can be a bit much (especially on the wallet... nyuck nyuck). I admit, I did love the Sleepwalker, Arach-Knight and Secret Warps books from Infinity Wars, and New Agents of Atlas and Journey Into Mystery from War of the Realms. A few years before I dove in whole-hog, I did dabble with Original Sin (2014), Secret Wars (2015) and Secret Empire (2017). Back then I only bought the main titles, now I've been assibilated into the collective and have to have every event tie-in there is. FOMO indeed.

LOL Bob,
Your recent episode relates to my last comment regarding the tie-in/crossover titles! Cha-Ching! I also had the FOMO panic, but I fInally gave it up and let it go! Reading CATB is my best comic fix!
Best regards, Tedly

I should follow your example. I’m running out of space for all my comics.

In the ’60’s, when Marvel hit a half-million copies of all titles published in one year, that was considered a big thing. When Timely published the first Captain America in the early ’40’s, that one issue hit 900,000. Different times. Of course now, we have movie and theme park tie-ins.
