Oh god these sales are going to kill me.

I wonder why the Sex Criminal trade is more expensive than buying them individually. I'm probably still grabbing it as I enjoy having the volume over the singles.

They have bonus stuff like how the artist makes pages, extra unused lines in that fake porno, and how the fourth printing cover was made (turns out it was two photos merged together)

"The Li'l Depressed Boy" Sale.

Bundle includes all 16 current issues plus a 100 page story that introduces him.

The previews look alright, but fellow goons, is it worthwhile getting?

Yeah I'm thinking about this, too. The description text makes it sound like Manic Pixie Dream Girl: The Comic, though.

To follow up on what Uthor said you have to ask yourself do you really like Garth Ennis, like really, really like him. I like The Boys but it's pretty much a lot of the crude and gross out humor that Ennis does which a lot of people dislike. Have you read The Pro? It's cheaper and with less of a commitment but I think if you read that and would want more with more grossness you'd know where to stand with The Boys.

Actually even if you haven't read The Pro they did a short of it.

Okay, I watched that one instead. I'm good, thanks.

I bought Siege instead :negative:

This sale is going to lead to some ridiculous possibilities....like all of Hickman FF run....of course it's probably still more then getting a used hardcover...but eh.

Yeah I just did that.

I'm thinking of trying to get the Kirby/Lee FF run or the Busiek Avengers run before the sale closes. How's the latter?

The collection is a steal if you wanna chance it, though.

It's a steal, but if it's not a good story then I'd rather not bother. The premise doesn't grab me at all anyway.

I prefer collections. On a few occasions I bite the bullet and buy singles on sale, like for Hickman's Fantastic Four run.

DC collections are pretty good on extras, but Marvel is getting better on that front as well.

A year or two back, Marvel did frequent sales for singles on Comixology, and only did sales for essential/jumping-point trades (like Hickman's Avengers vol 1, Superior Spider-Man vol 1, etc). Now they've learned. They've really learned. Not a month goes by where I don't drop money for digital Marvel trades.

Gilg posted:

Thinking about grabbing Secret Wars, is Last Days of the Marvel Universe also worth picking up to go with it? And separately, what about Infinity?

The Last Days trade compiles a bunch of Last Days tie-ins from different series. They vary in quality (Ms. Marvel and Captain America and the Mighty Avengers were really good). It's a good price but honestly you could just grab the trades of the respective series you care about.

Secret Wars and Infinity are part of Hickman's Avengers and New Avengers runs, they won't make much sense or gravitas if you haven't read those from the start. But they are good and worth getting if you plan to read those runs anyway.

I actually like how DC digital trades have neat extras at the end of the book (whereas Marvel usually just collects the issues), but they are not very good at digital.
