Homora Gaykemi posted:Jinkies! DC are offering a bunch of their Scooby-Doo comics for free on digital stores for a while on account of that new movie coming out. Just FYI for anyone trying to get these in Comixology, at least in the Android app, don't forget the hyphen in Scooby-Doo. Only searching for "scooby" or searching for "scooby doo" will only find the Scooby Apocalypse series which isn't free. (This feels like karmic justice for every time I called someone out for forgetting the hyphen in Spider-Man)

Uthor posted:Now I'm curious: is MU going to change their gap because of coronavirus? They haven't said anything, they did release all four issues of Donny Cates Thor to coincide with issue five coming out when the delay would normally mean only the first issue would be released. The still have some odd gaps in their back catalog, Generation X is missing issues 12-25, X-Factor has smaller but very conspicuous holes in the teens, probably other comics have similar ones, so it'd be a good time to fill them.

War of the Realms isn't listed but for other events, under Browse you can view a bunch of different events and they'll let you read them in publication order. Of course this means they have every single tie-in in the reading order which is annoying for its own reasons. Useful for some of the older X-Men events because those were often set-up so that you did have to read every issue.

Uthor posted:I was going by Wikipedia, which says MU has 27,000. That puts DC at 84% of MU. At launch it was a a curated collection of like a thousand comics. I'm pretty sure DC has a larger back catalog than Marvel, since they had a 20+year headscarf too.

Retro Futurist posted:I got the first volume of Wicked and Divine from another bundle and wound up picking the rest up and blasting through. Starts a bit slow but there's a bit of a twist at the end of the first arc that changes the whole status quo up in cool ways. DIE is loving excellent so if you already like Wicked I'd at least pledge enough for the first volume (I think Humble Bundle's let you upgrade later if you want) If you like the first volume of Phonogram the rest is probably good, I don't have the same affection for Brit Pop that they do, being a decade younger and not British.

I'm on android, but Humble Bundle comics are generally in both CBR/CBZ format and PDF and there's gotta be multiple options for both on iPads.

Retro Futurist posted:I use cloudreader and it means I have to download the cbz/cbr files individually, then open them in cloudreader and wait for them to load, then back out to do the next one. It's not the end of the world or anything but it winds up taking 3-5 min per book I put cbz files in a single folder and read them and when I'm done it automatically loads the next one alphabetically, which means i occasionally need to rename poo poo or back out and find the next book manually but that never takes more than a minute.

Huge pain in the rear end, but cbz and cbr files are literally just renamed zip and rar files so worst case scenario you can change the extension to either .zip or .rar and open them normally and you've got a bunch of numbered jpgs

Oh, for anyone who was wondering how Marvel Unlimited was gonna handle comics being canceled for a month then only having a couple books every other week for most of the summer, they just released what looks like everything they published from may through September 2. Assuming they don't re instate the delay somehow it looks like Unlimited is gonna be on a 5 week delay for new comics instead of 6 months.

hup posted:Occasionally ComiXology and (I think) DC Universe have story arc “read next” options, but they’ve been few and far between Unlimited has some events in reading order, but that's only useful if you want to read everything. Like recently I wanted to re-read Infinity, but I only really care about the main event split between Avengers, New Avengers and Infinity, I don't want every single other tie-in.

X-O posted:I definitely have the issue more often on DC's app it seems. Getting from one issue to the next is a chore at times. And then sometimes if I have to kill it then it will forget that I've already read the issue I just finished. At least the Marvel one doesn't have that problem. I've been thinking about getting the DCUniverse app, but if it's even worse than Marvel Unlimited then I'm probably gonna wait.

Little surprised Marvel disabled the ability to buy comics in Unlimited. Used to be when you hit the end of a what was available there for a still ongoing series you'd have a "buy" button for the next issue, now it just says "coming soon" and has a picture of the cover.

Marvel lets you buy comics directly from them. And their subscription service adds everything with a 3 month delay plus a massive back catalog. Haven't actually bought anything from them so it might be just a comixology code or something.

ToxicFrog posted:So, Lone Wolf & Cub is one of those classics that I see mentioned all the time but know very little about, and I've never even heard of the other stuff listed there. Is it still worth reading today, coming at it with neither nostalgia nor academic interest in the evolution of the form? I've read the first couple volumes before (probably physical copies of the same Dark Horse release) and Lone Wolf and Cub is absolutely worth reading if you like action comics with a nice dose of heartwarming father stuff. Really good action sequences.

The fraction of income Amazon makes from digital comics is probably less than what they are afraid would happen if warehouse workers anywhere unionized so that's their focus. So we'll just spend less money on this so we can pay the Pinkertons more money to spy on union leaders and hopefully ruin their lives.
