I'm definitely in the camp that thinks this thinner paper is just a cost save for Marvel. I'm none too happy about it, especially since Byrne FF2 is likely to get this lower quality stock. I noticed today that the paper on my Michelinie Iron Man is starting to curl in toward the center and my Thor vol 2 has pages starting to curl in the front of the book. I don't have this problem with any of the omniboo printed before Michelinie Iron Man.
