BoyBlunder posted:Comixology is doing a DC sale for Black Friday - up to 88% off (https://www.comixology.com/DC_Black...iday_Sale_Email) I have only read up to I Am Bane but it was quite good throughout, it adds a degree of emotional vulnerability to Batman that I liked (I Am Suicide).

How often does Marvel Unlimited put out a promo code? I'm thinking about treating myself and getting it for a month in December, when I'll have some time off work to just chill and read.

Don't really read a lot of Manga, but that seems nuts for $2. What does this mean? quote:Can I read all 10,000 chapters in one day?! How much is that?

I'm sure it varies by series but generally a chapter is from what I've seen the size of a western floppy in page length if not a little more So 100 is still a lot

100 manga chapters is roughly equivalent to 10 shonen jump books. 10,000 chapters would be 1,000 manga books, which is conceivably more than SJ has available in English.

Reading 100 chapters a day would basically be setting a pretty big chunk of time a day aside just for reading manga.

For reference, the complete ten year run of Dragon Ball is 519 chapters, Naruto and Bleach in their entirety are around 700 chapters each, and One Piece is up to chapter 926.

Yeah, that's a lot. I read 20th Century Boys when it was slow at work. If I believe Wikipedia, that's about 144 chapters. Took me at least a week.

Been messing with the Shonen Jump sub, so I figured I'd report in with some thoughts. You can totally just download the app and see what their selection is without having to subscribe, but there's one small catch, you can't read the collected volumes for free, just chapters. Most series offer both options available, but certain popular series like One Punch Man or Tokyo Ghoul don't offer chapters. There's also a few chapters you can read for free (like One Piece #1-3!!) to try out the comic viewer. Downloaded chapters automatically get deleted after 7 days. Also there's no indicator if you've read a chapter or not, so good luck trying to keep track of where you are in One Piece without using up your 100 chapters a day. There needs to be some kind of way to bookmark or favorite a series, so I'm not scrolling through the entire list of comics. Also on that note, their search seems broken. vkeios fucked around with this message at 21:24 on Dec 20, 2018 |

Alaois posted:given your tone it seems like you already think all of it is unneeded Nah its just I see like 500 pages for the Hunt for Wolverine and as I'm adding to cart I see there is like 4 other tie ins, and its drat hard to know if they are needed to understand the story. Or was this event like Fear Itself and best avoided altogether? I like going in blind but its a giant hassle when swaths of the story are sold separately or trying to find out if a comic is good without spoiling it.

I haven't read anything since the Hunt for Wolverine one-shot, but maybe just wait for the proper ongoing and read the recap.

It feels a year has gone by and Wolverine is still in the process of returning without a full explanation for it. That said, I did like parts of the Hunt for Wolverine.

Have not payed attention to the old Wolverine, but I enjoyed All-New Wolverine. Which does not feature the original Wolverine, but female clone of Wolverine. And a clone of the clone. And future version of Wolverine. And an actual wolverine.

Hunt for Wolverine was not an event or anything it is just a few disconnected minis featuring various groups of people searching for Wolverine after his resurrection. The books are not actually about Wolverine and deal more with those characters and their relationships with Wolverine. They don’t really advance the Return Wolverine at all.

Uthor posted:I think you need to use the code DH50 Yep. And unfortunately, it doesn't stack with the 15% off for Unlimited members. Guess Dark Horse has a deal a'la DC Comics not allowing you to use both. This DID get me to the deals page, where I found that there were loads of deals on Image, DC and Marvel stuff, so I picked up some trades I've been meaning to get (Saga, Paper Girls, the Ed Piskor X-Men stuff, etc.)

The OP mentions some kind of front end for Marvel Unlimited called Nightcrawler, but the link is dead. Does this still exist in any form? Is there any other way to make MU a little more user friendly? Wish they would have picked a name that’s easier to search for.

The last time I used Nightcrawler it was busted, or at least not updated enough to be useful.

It looks like Unofficial Handbook of Marvel Comics Creators is still up and scraping. It's not particularly friendly, especially for non-PC browsing, but it has some useful indexing. I used to use the yearly summary for browsing Marvel Unlimited: http://www.maelmill-insi.de/UHBMCC/dat2018.htm

There is a no-frames page, https://maelmill-insi.de/UHBMCC/datanfr.htm so the indexes aren't 100% broken on tablets, but I'd just go straight to the yearly summary pages for browsing.

If anyone else uses Comixology Unlimited, they've just added DC and Vertigo books. You also get the same 15% discount you get with Marvel.
