How do we feel about data pages?

[ARkadelphia]

When they work, they REALLY work

[Godlike13]

I’ve been digging them. They give those nerd details that there usually isn’t enough space for.

[Devaishwarya]

I appreciate them.

The hiatus breake people

[Havok83]

I skim/skip through alot of them to be honest

[Kisinith]

I like them, overall they've been used well and are a nice little extra.

[Mah_Boons]

Overall? I like them. For me I think it makes the story all the more interesting. :-)

[frostedemma]

I like them especially when writers make cleaver use of them. It avoids exposition dialogue and since writers have a limited amount of pages per issue I understand their usefulness

[captchuck]

They've been great on the current X-Men group of books. We get more info and less generic advertising. I wouldn't mind a page or two explaining the new alphabet code. But no matter what, they've been well done and nicely designed.

I've liked about 80% of them. Cool little bits of extra detail that probably wouldn't have been easy to convey in the text or art, can be jammed into a densely written page and offer lots of tantalizing goodies.

A few though seem like a waste, or actually kind of piss me off, since I feel like the information described on them should have been an actual scene in the book, like they ran out of time for the art and just summarized a page...

Except that they don’t “boost pages”, they don’t cause any price raise and they don’t replace comic pages, so there is no robbing in place. I wonder how you came up with this.

House of X, Powers of X were $6.5, but we didn't get enough gorgeous art to make up for it

House of X, Powers of X were $6.5, but we didn't get enough gorgeous art to make up for it

House of X and Powers of X have about 32 story pages, again a regular comic is 20 pages that normally cost about 3.99. Which puts the cost about 12 extra pages at about 2 dollars . Which means everything else PoX (46 page so 14 pages) House of X(47 pages so 15 pages) at about 1 dollar. You are saying 12 extra pages of art and 14 pages of supplemental stuff isn't worth 3 dollars.

I can't speak for you but I got House of X directors cut which is 7.99 but had 178 pages. I would say I got my money worth.
