Rocketeer/The Spirit is pretty fun and worth the discount price, but don't count on the final issue to stick the landing.

Are the Boom Studios Peanuts books any good, though?

Has there been any talk of DC doing a Marvel Unlimited style subscription service? I really like MU, but lately I've had a hankering to read the Snyder/Capullo run of Batman. Otherwise is there a relatively inexpensive way to do so? I'm on iOS.

I have to believe that any sort of multi-publisher deal would just offer up all the trash books no one cares about. The great thing about MU is that it's basically everything on a 6-month delay. Also, Comixology really rubbed me the wrong way when they pulled their iOS app after the Amazon acquisition.

Correct, Sandman vol 1-10 is the complete series. I don't believe there's any required reading outside of those.

So how was Spider-Gwen in the end? Is it a fun book to read like Ms Marvel, because the mini-series, Edge of Spdier-Verse, and Silk are the Marvel Friday sale.

A number of people enjoyed it. I read all of the first series as it came out but I stopped and won't be picking up the new one. It just never clicked for me. I think at some points it worked too much on differentiating its world from the 616 world to the detriment of fleshing out the main characters. Silk on the other hand was one of bigger surprises of the year for me and I plan on sticking with it for as long as the current writer is on. I do like Spider-Gwen outside of her series though.

Any suggestions for the Comixology "Women of indie" half price sale? 1 night on Earth, Bonnie n Collide, Minor Acts of Heroism, Pirates of Mars and The Pantheon Project seem interesting. The Dark Horse sale looks good too.

I think I'll probably pick up The Pantheon Project simply because Leila del Duca is the artist and her stuff on Shutter is amazing.

I'd recommend Demeter, The Mire, and Wolves if you're into Becky Cloonan doing horror stories. I also really like Templar, AZ, but it's a webcomic you can read for free and Spike has been too busy with Smut Peddler and all her other anthology books these last few years to update TAZ.

Aspen essentials sale at Comixology, they're doing 4 bundles at 75% off. I already have the Executive Assistant Iris comics and thought they were pretty good but nothing mind blowing. Are Fathom, Soulfire or anything in the compilation bundle any good? I read the #0 of Charismagic and thought it seemed interesting and I got Idolized before and though it was a good "Super powers treated as normal" story mixed with a bit of reality tv. https://www.comixology.co.uk/Aspen-Essential-Sale/page/8808?ref=c2l0ZS9pbmRleC90YWJsZXQvc21hbGxDYXJvdXNlbA

Thor and Loki: Agent of Asgard sale. https://www.comixology.com/Thor-Sale/page/8820 Thor is great. Loki is also great, but I don't know how much you'd need to know about his other recent appearances (Young Avengers and Journey into Mystery, also both great). It's very much a meta story about the nature of stories, if you're into those types of things.

The Priest run was great. It had a lot of the non-linear storytelling that he was big on at the time. It was pretty silly with a lot of jokey stuff but there was definitely a serious storyline underneath it. If you ever read Priest's Black Panther, especially the first couple of arcs, and liked that I think you'd dig his Quantum and Woody.
