I saw a guy using a handset connected to his phone one day in public. I assumed people just got those as gag gifts. Doesn't switching to Classic in Windows 7 disable the desktop hardware acceleration making everything slower?

I've read the first volume of the Sixth Gun and liked it okay. I'm getting some more to see if it holds up.

But I was pretty on board after the first arc too. The three minis are good too, the last of which is still in progress. The entire series only has a couple issues left before it wraps up.

I like the series as a whole, but feel like about every other arc drags a bit. It's a weird start and stop with the momentum. Still, I need to know how it ends!

With the crossover? Skip the Doomed issues if you have to. Pak's Action is really one of the best comics going. Geoff's Superman is completely unrelated to the event. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 08:14 on Jun 2, 2015 |

If I already own G-Mo/Pak Superman, Lemire Green Arrow and Azzarello Wonder Woman, what else should I check out from that DC mega sale? I don't have any preferences for characters other than the ones I've already checked out so as long as they're Good Comics I'm willing to give em a try.

Looks like IDW is updating their apps and brining on Android and Windows versions. It doesn't look like this will affect their books on comiXology. There's something being said about free books if you sign up, but I don't use iOS and don't have time for individually branded apps. *trigger warning: Bleeding Cool* http://www.bleedingcool.com/2015/06/04/idw-shifts-to-a-new-series-of-comic-apps-powered-by-madefire-ted-adams-discusses-the-launch/

All of the HItman and Dr. Fate issues on offer are great and deserve your money. Hitman #34 belongs in the "Superman stories to give people who bitch about Superman being boringly perfect" file. Batman & Robin is all aces, as is Batman Inc., but I figure their reputations precede them. Justice League 3000 might be worth it at $0.99 each, but I don't think Giffen & DeMatteis got anywhere near their JLI laughs, even with Blue & Gold's return. Futures End is okay from about #40 onward, as the endlessly wheel-spinning story threads start wrapping up and showing consequences. Just don't get suckered in by Ryan Sook's amazing covers like I was...

She-Hulk and X-Factor are great. Avoid Invaders at all costs. Even if you love the Invaders team. Especially if you love that team.  One of the most disappointing comics I've ever read and stuck with way too long.

poo poo, I bought the She Hulk on my phone because I was out, in the Marvel App. The comics seem to be stuck on my phone, they won't show up in my iPad, Comixology or on the Marvel website. Anyone have a problem like this before? My purchase list won't show up in the phone app either.

It has some good blurbs on its website, but I can find virtually no discussion or reviews from anyone about the whole thing. I've only read through it all the one time, but I'd say I enjoyed the series; it's got a real Fallout vibe to it (without the 50's aesthetic) and the narrative is really good for about 50 issues. After that point, it start getting pretty confusing and the last 5 or so issues are the story of how the world got the way it is. The art's mostly decent, but can be a bit shaky at times and sometimes the characters can only be differentiated through dialogue.
