There's 2 Halloween sales on Comixology right now, both run to the 26th.
One is a Boom! Studios 50% off sale. From that one I already had Day Men which is a pretty good "Vampires run the world from behind the scenes" series and I'm tempted to buy the 28 Days Later omnibus.
The second sale is for Comixology submit books using the code "treat". There's a lot of stuff there so I don't know what's good. It is divided up by genre though, which helps.

LO-fuckin-L They put up the Tarot Halloween special just for this sale. (Balent and Holly G have started putting their poo poo up via Submit recently). Which includes both the infamous haunted vagina issue AND the horrifying gingerbread girl one! Twice the terribad and traumatising comics for half the price!

I'll dissent on Action Comics as well; I think it's fantastic. I thought the idea of more or less having Superman fight the constraints capitalism puts on his own licensed stories was both very clever and very well done. I'd go as far as to say Action Comics #18 is one of the best comics I've read from this decade.

Dating is putting it very strongly. Bedard seeded it in his last issues and then the people following with the final arc only used him for about two seconds at the end (e: along with a cliffhanger I'm betting will never ever pay off.)
The first year before H'el on Earth is the best, and Red Daughter was fun tying in with Soule's Red Lanterns and Doomed.

I enjoyed them for the most part and the art's not bad; it basically picks up where the first movie left off and bridges the gap between Days and Weeks. Selena is the main character and is trying to lead a reporter across infected Britain to London (for reasons I can't really remember) but they mostly run into trouble from the US military.

Is there a good iOS app that will work with comics I didn't get from Comixology? I got a bunch of Valiant stuff from a Humble Bundle which isn't tied to anything but a file.

I'm dumb and didn't read the OP. ComicFlow it is.

I believe that run has the story where Silver Age Supergirl crashes on regular DC Earth and immediately tries to push Earth out of the way of a meteor. This appears to everyone else, and due to the relative masses involved basically IS, her doing a really long, intense handstand.

What I'm saying is it's a good comic.

I've read a pretty good chunk of them, and they're competently done books that are fairly faithful to the source material but not particularly inspiring. So, if you're a fan of the Evil Dead and want some more goofy adventures of Ash it's okay, but I wouldn't expect anything more than that.

Actually, does anyone have experience with Comic Rack being better for a internal server for comics? My PC already does the work for Plex and such so if I wanted to read comics around the house, I was wondering if Comic Rack is going to be better for that. Right now, I'm using Comic Zeal and it makes me move it to a cloud storage like OneDrive and load 1 issue at a time so it's a bit clunky. :(

YACReader is what you want. With Comic Rack you have to sync the issues to the device. With YACReader you can read them straight from your PC like you would a movie with Plex.

ComicZeal actually lets you move comics right to it via a web browser, so you can put in more than one comic at once.

Pardon me, but this is my first time in the Digital Comics thread. I just posted this in the Hardcovers and TPBs thread, but I think it's worth cross-posting here. Hopefully this will be new to some of you:

Those of you who have and use public libraries (which is hopefully most of you), check your library websites to see if they have added a new online service called Hoopla Digital. Mine added it earlier this year. You can create a free Hoopla account with your library card number, and then you can stream or (temporarily) download audiobooks, movies, TV shows, or music albums to your computers, tablets, or phones. It's very similar to Netflix and Amazon Prime Video, in that you can browse categories, search, and add things to a list of favorites. There is a Hoopla Digital app, of course.

You can usually keep things in your Hoopla account for 21 days, and then they either disappear (the system automatically checks them back in), or you can return them once you're done. And at least my public library set it up so I can check out a total of six items per month. That isn't a lot, the way I blow through media, but it's still a nice added feature. I was finally able to see The Long Goodbye thanks to Hoopla, which is of particular interest to anyone who read and enjoyed Matt Fraction's Hawkeye series.

But the reason I'm mentioning this here is because about a month ago, they added a whole category of comic books, which is mostly trade paperbacks. They include DC/Vertigo (mostly New 52 TPBs, with some perennial favorites like Watchmen, Sandman, Preacher, and Fables), Dark Horse (tons of stuff), Image (I'm finally going to get to read Velvet, Lazarus, and Satellite Sam), Valiant (ditto for Archer and Armstrong), IDW (no James Roberts Transformers TPBs yet, but lots of other TF stuff, and a whole category for Doctor Who, for those who are into that). Marvel's absence is very obvious.

I had never downloaded a comic before, don't have Comixology or any other apps like that, but it hasn't been bad at all reading comics on my iPad through the Hoopla Digital app. So far, I've finally gotten to read the first Justice League 3000 TPB (not my thing, although I appreciate that it brought back Beetle and Booster), the last two Batman Inc. TPBs to finally finish Morrison's epic Batman run, and now I've moved onto Lemire's Green Arrow run, which is excellent so far. My public library has a decent collection of TPBs, but there is still plenty of stuff they don't have that I'd like to read, and now much of it has been added to Hoopla Digital.

So check to see if you all have access... but you don't have to take my word for it!

Comixology is doing a IDW miniseries 50% off sale until the 10th and a Death of Wolverine sale with up to 80% off until the 5th. I don't have any recommendations, wouldn't mind some though.

I've read literally none of the IDW stuff, but something called Star Slammers by Walt Simonson can't possibly be bad.

The Cornell Wolverine series aren't bad, but I'm not sure I can really recommend it, either.

I wouldn't recommend Death of Wolverine, especially as a stand alone. It's was pretty "meh".

Monocyte has a non-sense story, but pretty to look at if you're after art that mixes Giger and Templesmith.

I think there's some kind of SNAFU on Comixology's end on that IDW mini series sale, according to the banner ad the sale starts tomorrow, and the only titles showing a discount are those that are also part of the Halloween sale.
