Huh? My volume one (hardcopy) covers issues 1-6, and my volume 2 (digital) covers 7-12.

Comixology collects it weird, the first three volumes are under saga not volume 1. At least what I assume would be the first three. The rest of the volumes they have are under 1.

My understanding is Saga 1: Books 8-10

Saga 2: Books 11-13

Saga 3: Books 14-16

Volume 1 published by Fantagraphics (books 1-7) don't seem to be found here.

Edit: Unless there's an earlier.... series I'm not aware of?

Oh my god I was so confused.

I bought Superman Doomed or whatever and what I've read seems pretty fun. I'm not a big superman guy or anything so take this with a grain of salt.

I just saw Doomsday fighting polar bears, the sales price and it was 500 pages and figured eh can't really lose on this.

Yeah, Usagi Saga v1 is based on the print version so it's only going to collect the stuff Dark Horse has the physical rights to. Since Fantagraphics and Dark Horse have stuff on Comixology now I assume it's a matter of time until vols 1-7 go up but they're not there yet.

Goddammit of course it's not after I signed up and paid for a month....granted it's not like I'm somehow being ripped off.

Oh Marvel finally started limited the penny deals to only once every six months.

Why not just have the whole original run under one thing? Why the two separate banners when they're clearly using the whole series to calculate the dates for the run?

It's not really Comixology's fault that it switched titles a few times.

It goes, New Teen Titans (1980) 1-40, Tales of the New Teen Titans 41-58, New Teen Titans (1984) 1-6

No, I actually agree with that sentiment, but much like Chris, Marv Wolfman wrote the Titans for-loving-ever.

The original Big Tuna.


The subtle erosion of Comixology's features/policies...
DC books taking longer to get a discount. I can wait it out or take advantage of a local store's discount.
Fewer, if any, midnight releases, including fewer sales going live at midnight. This might actually be an advantage, since I'll go to bed earlier.
When I buy a comic and go to My Books (or the new Smart Lists) and refresh, it takes several minutes for the book to show up as purchased, when before it was instantaneous. It's currently faster to buy a book then search for it and find the Download button among the results.
Oh, but the addiction to comics, that's still going strong, yay team!

I have. But they were at the "pay what you wish" or the "more than the average" levels and it was cheaper than comiXology. My Humble Bundle library is full of so many Dynamite comics that I don't even know that I own...

Hell, my HB and Comixology library is full of that stuff. (Comixology sold a slightly different Dynamite bundle for like £3 a while back) But there was at least some stuff there that I wanted to read, like Waid's Green Hornet and a bunch of Red Sonja, plus some neat curiosities and a bunch of potential 'so bad it's good' stuff.
