Any issues with using Unlimited on multiple devices. My brother is going to be living with me and it doesn't make much sense to do separate accounts.

I was just about to subscribe to unlimited but this might be better. Too bad it doesn't include any DC stuff or I'd be sold on sight

I use Cloudreader. It's not great and there are probably better apps but I've been using it for years and it's simple and reliable

Is Letter 44 an ongoing or was it just a 13 issue run? It sounds cool but I like to wait and read the whole thing.

This may be a long shot, but can anyone recommend any good French comics among the ones carried by Comixology? Genre doesn't matter, I'm just looking for some books to enjoy as a learning aid.

Can't go wrong with Asterix and Obelisk. Or Tintin, i guess

How nice of DC to drop their weeklies' prices for everyone at their conclusion.

This just reinforces to me the law of Comixology and digital comics in general: if you're not in love with a series, wait for it to go on sale. (Or for the library to pick up the trade!) (Or for a Humble Bundle edition!) Don't pay the New Release Tax - tide yourself over with something else.

That goes for literally anything though. If you really like it buy it right away, otherwise wait for a sale. Comics, video games, movies, cars, vacuum cleaners, you name it

Didn't I hear somewhere that Unlimited is less useful for Marvel as a revenue stream than as a means to hook new customers who then buy more stuff?

I'm sure it is. "Gee, this Avengers stuff is cool but I don't want to wait six months and get Secret Wars spoiled, I guess I'll start buying stuff"

Yeah it was released in single issues as Deadpool: Dracula's Gauntlet. I don't buy physical issues anymore though so I never saw it.

Did it tie in with anything else? I'm reading Poeshn's Deadpool run and it relates to this, but Unlimited only starts at issue 5 for some reason

All I want is to be able to read an event in order. If I'm reading Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers it should go from one to the other for me automatically. I would totally pay extra for that

It sorts your library by release order (or has the option to anyway), so it should do that.

Sure, but only if empty my library of anything else, and then exit out to it between every issue

Hey I'm just not fond of the fact they clearly have the HD scans of the comics somewhere to be able to offer them on Comixology. MU might be more economically friendly, but at the end of the day it's still a paid for service, so it strikes me as a bit cheeky for them to deliberately do that.

That's like saying "Who cares if I just ordered a salad and a water, this restaurant has steak available and I want one!"

As for zooming in I use an ipad and haven't noticed any problems, but I only use it for spreads if I don't want to turn my ipad

Anybody read anything on an iPad Mini? Can you get the job done? I own an aging 16:10 Android that's on the edge of obsolesence and even if I do make that my dedicated comic reader I don't want to lug it around with a more modern tablet with me.

New iPads were just announced today so there should be a price drop very soon

I see this a lot and I have no idea what people mean by it. Where should it have ended?

It's more the fact that it could have told more or less the same story in a much shorter volume. It's got a decent amount of filler.

Thanks for the input - I threw some cash at the Jason Aaron volumes to start. I caught up on Agents of SHIELD recently and thought the GR stuff was pretty decent, and then checked my comixology library to see what I had for GR and realized that in all the things I've picked up in sales over the past couple of years, I didn't have a single issue.

The older stuff and especially Aaron's run are worth reading, but if you're looking for Reyes Ghost Rider specifically that will be All New Ghostrider

Up until end of Monday... How is Huston's Moon Knight run? And I have heard some good things about Byrne's She-Hulk run, is it any good?

Huston's run isn't very great. It's not terrible but I didn't love it.
