Pretty sure it's simply every Kindle trade.
If there's a Marvel collection of Comixology, it'll be there on Amazon for a couple bucks.

Does the Unlimited discount stack with sales? Cause theoretically you could gain 5% cash back by buying the entire Marvel library when they do a 90% off sale.

Edit: oh wait, that wouldn't work since the sales are on the Kindle side.

Still, does it stack with sales?

Can’t you get the free trial if you are outside the US? Think I had that once. (I think when I changed ipads)

Maybe you can do the trial then use the discount, once, at least.

I love that run. Got the whole thing bound into a custom hardcover, led off by Secret Origins #2, the origin of both Dan Garrett and Ted Kord, by Len Wein and Gil Kane. Paris Cullins (who also drew Blue Devil a couple years earlier) did a beautiful job pencilling Blue Beetle. His faces are kind of reminiscent of McFarlane's.

The color books are $3 each ($18 for the series), or the black and white omnibus is $14.

These sales ain't updating on the front page (at least where I am.)

For Len Wien, I'd already been going through his Batman collection and it's pretty good.
https://www.comixology.com/Tales-of-the-Batman-Len-Wein/digital-comic/167963
You get the earliest (I guess?) instance of Bruce and Selina Kyle being a serious couple, which pairs nicely with what the Batman comic is doing right now.
Also, he ditches the Manor for a badass office building built around a tree.

Endless Mike posted:

It's okay, but fairly short. The premise of the comic is really the only thing that the movies and the comic have in common.

Edit: Ah, I think that version combines the one before the movie and the ones they released after the first movie, so it has a few stories about the background of the various characters in the movie. Again, it's okay, but they are single issue stories.

I asked this question in the devices forum, but I should ask here too:

I'm looking to get a cheaper tablet specifically for reading digital comics. That means it needs to be able to run both the Marvel Unlimited and Comixology apps and have a large screen with good resolution for reading text.

I was all set to buy a Kindle HD 10 (great price!) when I discovered that it won't run Marvel Unlimited

So now I'm stuck. Any recommendations?

You can viee marvel unlimtied comics in a kindle by accessing them through the website.

You can fairly easily install the Google Play Store on Fire tablets and get Marvel Unlimited from there.

But I imagine you couldn't do offline viewing that way. I won't always have internet access when I'm reading.

They could remove sideloading, I suppose, but they've left it available for as long as they've made tablets, so I don't see why.
