Waterhaul posted:SALE TIME Bendis's run is a lot more creative, I really liked Moon Knight becoming so crazy he thinks he's the Avengers. All the Avengers. Of course it suffers from Bendis writing so things can become really wordy and drawn out. If anyone doesn't know what Moon Knight is, he's basically Batman with Schizophrenia. He's got murderous tendencies, hears voices/sees things that aren't there, it's a really interesting take on Batman.

I jumped on the 99cent Marvel Unlimited deal, having issues with the app but I have problems with almost all apps on this stupid Android tablet. How easy is it to find story arcs on this thing, instead of by title? e: Nope, the app sucks rear end. Having to change the view to one-page every single time, constantly having the app get confused and thinking I'm logged out/Not an unlimited user. It's trash, and it's my fault for buying an Android tablet instead of something else, but there's no excuse for an almost non-functioning app. RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 00:38 on Mar 6, 2014 |

The most frustrating part so far is just fighting with the App telling me that I'm not an Unlimited member every single time I try and read a new issue, and having to close the app and re-open it multiple times. Marvel really needs to just link up Unlimited with Comixology.

Devo posted:Maybe I'm dumb but I couldn't find anywhere to put in the SXSW99 code when I bought a month of Marvel unlimited. I've been meaning to resubscribe anyway so no big deal but I'm just throwing that out there. It also seems like it's much harder to browse for the comics I want compared to when I was subscribed a couple years ago.

It features: Justice League Vol 1 Wonder Woman Vol 1 (Buy this if you don't own it) Green Lantern Vol 1 Aquaman Vol 1 (Also worth buying) Justice League Dark Vol 1 Shazam! Vol 1 (Worth it) Action Comics Vol 1 Green Arrow Vol 1

Marvel's doing digital comics right. Too bad they can't figure out how to code their app. Picked up Superior Vol 1 just because it's going to be something so awful people look back on with nostalgia some day like I do with Back in Black.

EVGA Longoria posted:I have no interest in comic book stores or physical releases. If they're going to release parts of the story for FCBD, they should provide it digitally too. Strike one: When I first went there, they were releasing Wednesday's comics on Friday, if I were lucky enough. Goons called the store and punked them out. Strike two: They weren't selling Miracle Man because the owner didn't like Alan Moore. Alan Moore wasn't even getting paid for this comic so whatever. Strike Three: They order so little Marvel comics that they might as well not carry them at all. I get there by noon and they're sold out of almost all Marvel comics. Strike Four: Free comicbook day bullshit where they were charging for the free comic books. I'd just prefer to buy everything digital or from TFAW. Their tag-line is "The only game in town!" and it's true. They can get away with this nonsense because the next closest comic shop is almost an hour and a half away. I would have rather just had digitals of the free comics as well.

Sarchasm posted:I'm pretty sure you can search the Marvel Unlimited website even as a non-subscriber. You can check and see whether the arcs you want to read are available or not, and even see the first few pages of each. http://marvel.com/comics/series Just go to the series you're looking for and click on the "Marvel Unlimited" box and it will show you if it's up or not. It's a lot quicker than looking things up in the app, a lot of the time. RealFoxy fucked around with this message at 19:44 on May 9, 2014 |

Marvel & Comixology has further dropped the price on their discounted Vol 1 collections. You can get these titles for $2 each now, and if you still have the $5 credit you can get Annihilation and Nova Vol 1 which can really kick-start your Marvel Cosmic library (Marvel Cosmic is amazing) It's more convenient than stealing at this point.

Comixology are having a sale on 52, which is in my opinion is the only decent major crossover from DC in the past 20 years. Each issue is 99cents, so the entire run is $51.48 total, which still comes out cheaper than buying the omnibus. However, you can buy the Kindle edition from Amazon at $12.00 a book (Four books total) and come out at $48. (It isn't much of a sale when you look at it like that)

I've been buying more comics than ever before just because of the convinience of it, it takes less than two minutes to buy a comic and start reading it now. The same with Music. But some of the larger industries don't recognize that and punish legitimate buyers instead of the people pirating things. Just make it easier to purchase for everyone and they'll probably pirate less! DRM Free is a great step forward. Music and Movies could learn a lot from comics, ironically.

There's no excuse! Storm and Elektra are two comics that are right on the cusp of being great, and now Vol 1 of both are $3 -- That makes them well worth the price. If you don't own Ms. Marvel or Wonder Woman yet, those are must-buys. Runaways, Death by Neal Gaiman, and Batwoman are on there too, all classics.
