some talk about the prices of comics

The First Uncanny X-Men costs $1.22 if we accounted for inflation, the first Ultimate X-Men (2024) costs $5. The Uncanny X-Men comic originally costed 12 cents. a quarter comic would cost around half of the cost of the Ultimate X-Men comic if accounting for inflation. So not only are we paying double for a comic, there are still advertisements in them! 

As to quote the band Linkin Park "But in the end, it doesn't even matter" sure it's double price, but alot of things increase in price, just look at video games in the past 20ish years.
