I must be an outlier because I swear I've bought more stuff from Comixology than i usually do at one time, general I'll just grab a few issues or volumes at a time but i got Gen 13 and Dance In The Vampire Bund all at once. Also subscribed to a four titles and got a bundle, which I didn't know were available until I had to use the site.
Anyone know if there is any possibility of graphic novels and manga titles that are in the Amazon kindle library being put on to Comixology?

While it seems like they'd be ok license-wise, I imagine they'd want/need to take some time to make the titles guided view compatible. And if that's a burden they put on the publishers (as it is now, I believe?), that could take some time.

Is X-Statix not available on comiXology?

Sadly, no. I'd buy that in a hot second.

Has anyone bought any of the Viz stuff yet? I'm curious how well the "manga fixed format" works, especially on a smartphone.

Monkeybrain comics are 50% off right now with the promo code "INDIE".

Has anyone read Red Light Properties? It looks interesting, but I can't picture how it could sustain a whole series.

Click on the "Sales" tab at the top; they don't seem to be listed with the rest of the main Batman sale at the moment.

Any of these any good?

I say, assuming "probably not".

One thing I don't get is how the Marvel/Kindle thing is a 'threat' to Comixology. Johnson knows they're owned by Amazon, right?

I could still see that as a threat. I imagine, ideally, Amazon would love it if they could dismantle Comixology and get people buying comics straight from the Amazon store.

I don't see it announced anywhere on the front page, but it looks like ALL Dark Horse stuff on Comixology is 50% off.

Farewell, money, I'll never forget our time together.

What are the opinions on the Boom! Cthulhu comics that are on sale?

Cthulhu Tales is good; Fall not so much.

I'm liking Injection so far. It's only 3 issues in, but it feels like it's building to something interesting.

Viz has stuff on sale pretty regularly, usually pretty large sales too, but it's almost never advertised for some reason.

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

Doesn't look like it, but they've been starting some of their sales at noon rather than midnight recently.

Has there been any updates about that comixology "unlimited" (or "all you can eat" as they said) subscription plan? There were bunch of articles and rumours 6 months ago and then silence

Nope, nothing since the initial rumor. Supposedly they were going to announce something at NYCC, but that came and went months ago.

Speaking of lousy sales, I don't think Kodansha has ever put anything besides Volume 1's on sale.

Alternatively to the B1G2 Comixology sale, they're doing 50% off digital comics on Amazon, which is great for trades if you were interested in only one.

Do you have a link? I don't actually see any discounted comics on Amazon.
