ComiXology

Oh yeah, I forgot! Thanks for the reminder, as I got no email today.

Daily free comics are nice, but I'm not big on them being from random series.

Just lets you have a choice of trying out new comics. Like today its Lazarus... I heard good things and will read it soon.

Cool! I love free things from the internet.

It's annoying that their app doesn't update the 12 free comics unless you close it and open it again. But gift horse in the mouth and all that.

Today's free comic is the Sandman #1.

 

[Darth Waller]

Finally one I would download. Now I just have to remember to.

 

[furystorm]

Got it, thanks! I've been totally forgetting about this every day. Only got three so far...

It must be free Gaiman day as iTunes just released his stage reading of Dicken's Christmas Carol. For FREE!

There are some good deals on DC Graphic novels for $5.99. The Watchmen, Batman: Year One and more. I'm glad The Killing Joke is in there because I thought it was overpriced at $9.99. It's basically the length of 2-3 comics.

I think the original price was about that, but it was a hardback

Part of me wants to say the Killing Joke is worth whatever they want to charge for it. But, yeah, $5.99 seems what it should cost.

Watchmen and All-Star Superman for $5.99 each is insane. That's about 50¢ an issue!

Uncanny X-Men 125-138 is on sale today.

Uncanny X-Men 125-138 is on sale today.

I missed out on that. I'm not too impressed with anything Marvel has done post Civil War but I love digging through the older classics.

Is comixology the best way to read comics? I really prefer all my stuff in OHC/Omnibus/absolute form. (It's the only way I've purchased anything comic related...)


But I keep hearing nothing but good things about newer comics like All New X-men, and batman. I only have a 16gb ipad to use comixology on and thought it'd fill up fast.

 

[furystorm]

You don't have to keep everything on your iPad all the time. It's just like the Audible app from Amazon for audiobooks. You can re-download at any time after you've made the comic purchase and thereby save all the space you desire on your device.

I highly recommend Comixology.

 

[Darth Waller]

Comixology is awesome, but you have to look at some of the screenshots of some older titles before you download them. Some comics like Matt Wagner's Mage and Walter Simonson's Thor run have been recolored (lots of shading was added). I think this modernizes these classic books and most people might not be bothered by it, but it is too much tweaking to be acceptable to me.

 

[krec9]

Was thinking about buying from them is there any service out where you pay a subscription fee and read as many titles you want?

Walking Dead sale this weekend.

Broke down and picked up Volumes 11-19 of TWD, even though I've still only read through Volume 4...

Got a lot of reading to do now.

Anyone know when Star Wars will revert back to Marvel?
