Yeah, there's some really good stuff in the Kodansha sale. Vinland Saga is one of those works that comes along maybe once a generation that everyone needs to read. A Silent Voice will punch you right in the heart. Chi's Sweet Home is an adorable tale of a cat's daily life that is so convincingly written I believe the author must in fact be a cat.

oh poo poo I didn't see Chi's Sweet Home was on sale, that's genuinely one of my favorite comics in recent memory.

If you want peak punisher get "the slavers" arc. Ennis really does a good job of making you want the punisher to kill everyone involved.

Shows you the difference between IDW and Dark Horse's approach to these, though. IDW give you pretty much all their Angel stuff, DH give you 2 volume 1s of Buffy and none of the stuff in between.

There's a volume before that published by Fantagraphics. http://comicbookdb.com/title.php?ID=8783 Seems like you need to start with issue #1 in this title: https://www.comixology.com/Usagi-Yojimbo/comics-series/152 I don't see them being collected anywhere on comiXology, but I didn't look too hard. The Classic #1-4 issues are stuff that came out even before the Fantagraphics series, so you can go back even further, if you want.

No clue. I like the ongoing well enough, though, but I may be biased as I actually went to a British university, so it's slice-of-life in a way I explicitly relate to.

With there being more and more DRM free comics being available from Humble Bundle and all that, are there any good Android apps that allow you to "stream" comics from a PC and keep track of your library? I've got way more comics than I do space on my tablet, and most of the comic apps I've tried rely on the library being local to the tablet. The solution I've used for years to read books is just to set up a share and browse to it then open the comic I want to read with Perfect Comic Viewer, but that doesn't track what's read/unread. Ideally I'd like something like Plex for TV shows and Movies. I got all the Transformers books from the Humble Bundle a while back and it's a pain in the rear end remembering where I left off reading them.

ComicRack? I think that does what you want. There was a server program that I heard of that works more like Plex, but I can't remember the name. Sorry.

I don't believe there's anything like that for Android. Even Comicrack required you to sync content. You can't just read from your server. There is an iOS app like that called YACReader. I don't think Android support is in their planning though.

I don't think Android support is in their planning though. Yeah ComicRack is great and I sprung for the pay version but the library sync requires you to have the entire set on your tablet and PC. Seems with digital comics growing in popularity that this should be a no brainer, especially with Plex being so popular for other media. I guess since most comics come with their own reader like Comixology it really doesn't apply to alot of digital stuff. Oh well.

I didn't even think of Calibre, that's a good idea too. Thanks!

So are there any iOS apps that let you lock the zoom level to page height? I usually use Comic Zeal but it often decides that because I want to see all of a single page, that it should show both pages at once when there are two pages and it's kind of annoying to read comics like that. I checked Chunky but it doesn't seem to have a lock to height option, just lock to width.
