If you for some reason haven't read Whedon's Astonishing it's a good day to buy it. It's the best mainstream anything ever

DId anyone else buy the Star Trek humble bundle? The pages are out of order in nearly every CBZ I have looked at. Curious if anyone had this issue?

Someone had a similar problem with (I think) one of the Valiant bundles. The pages were numbered 1, 2, 3,... 10, 11, 12,... The viewer would then go 1, 10, 11, 12,... 2, 20, 21, 22,... 3, etc.

As I recall, that person said something and the bundles got updated with leading zeroes. It's a pain, but you can fix that yourself. Change "cbz" to "zip", unzip, rename, rezip, rename back to "cbz".

Yep that must have been it. Used winrar to open an old one and it was page_1, page_2 ... page_10. Redownloaded from humble and now they are page_001, page_002 ... page_010

Time to nerd out on some fuckin Star Trek comics, thanks!

Anyone use a Windows tablet for comics? There's a super cheap one I want to pick up to mess around with, but the Windows 8 comiXology app is (or was ... been a while since I loaded it) super terrible. Is it usable through the browser?

The Windows 8 comiXology app is a horrible mess that should be taken out back and shot

You can probably half rear end it with metro Internet Explorer but I'd recommend a good 16:9 Android tablet instead.

Most Android tablets are 16:10, which is slightly better than 16:9 or 4:3 for single pages, but 4:3 is by far the best for spreads. Honestly, 16:10/9 above like 8" for a tablet kind of sucks unless the vast majority of your usage is watching movies.

Yeah good catch, I really should have just said "Not 4:3 like the iPad and Nexus 9". 2 page spreads might look a bit better on iPad if you can read them but they are like 5% of comic pages. I think if he's going digital he is way better off with a 10" tablet that can display a comic page at full size but I guess some people make it work on a 7 or 8" tablet.

Weird to see Star Wars and not have it be Dark Horse

The Star Wars Legacy collections are pretty good deals, will be great deals if/when they go on sale.

The best outcome of the Scribd thing would be if it motivated Amazon to add comiXology unlimited to Prime or something amazing like that. A man can dream :allears:

I picked up the bundle from Groupees. You can't choose how much goes to charity - it's set to 20% which is dumb. The download page has a .zip for each comic, inside is an epub, a cbz and a pdf so I hope you enjoy wasting bandwidth!

This sounds so dumb but unless comixology matches I don't want to buy these because I can't stand the idea of having a third place to look for comics I've bought.

Yes, it is. I cheaped out on my last phone purchase and got a stripped down Moto G figuring that I can just use the SD card for comics, but it only moves to the virtual SD card so I'm lucky if I can fit two small TPB sized collections before running out of space.

Once your phone gets Android 6 you can format your SD card to be a part of the phone's internal storage. Works great as long as you get a quality SD card.

"Omnibus" seems like a pretty big stretch for a 156 page GN, of which 20 pages are sketches and extras. The book was awesome, however so I'm curious if the comic is/was too.
