I'm going to Shreveport next weekend and I imagine I'll hit up the LCS there. Should I pick up House of X? I don't read Marvel, but if it's that good, I'd check it out.
If you read House of X, you also have to read Powers of X as well. It's an intertwined story. What my LCS told me issue 2 of House of X is sold out and Marvel screwed over the direct market again by requiring orders of 2 and 3 before issue 1 came out. He said he had to order extra from an LCS in London at cover price, plus duties.
