defender membership

I joined the defenders even though I really couldn't afford to as my company was about to downsize. I did so because of the promised weekly sampire comic book page add, thought it would be cool, as previous it seemed less than nifty to be a defender, plus Pete was warning that sluggy might end if he didn't have money to coninue.
So now, after being out of work since the company layoffs in April 2009, my defender membership is up, and I can't get to the last of the sampire comic book. I assume it would have originally completed in a year, as exclusive access to it was promised to old and new defenders. Delay though happened, and it's been a year, and it's not finished, and I don't get the end, without shelling out $25 I don't have (I'm thinking about selling stuff on eBay to raise the money), that's not nifty at all, so call this a whining complaint.
