Get stuff from this sale. Especially Rat Queens, Manhattan Projects, Saga, Sex Criminals, and possibly Lazarus and East of West.

Here's the link to the Comixology sale collection page:

Well holy poo poo I was just thinking I need to grab Saga when it goes on sale like an hour ago.

EDIT: God drat I either own or want to buy so much of what's here.

Well gently caress. My brother and I use the same iTunes account for purchases and we buy tons of comics by alternating adding a gift card every week. This completely kills that :smith:

You can't even browse the store in the app. That's stupid.

It's good for a month so I'd wait to see what sales are coming out.

(sure would have been nice to have last week during the Eisner sale)

Looking at their mobile site from my phone and all right it's not too terrible to browse/buy poo poo so I'm not as angry as I was. It even has an icon for your bookmark!

That article seems to very "the sky is falling" when at most it just added another step to buying a comic for Ipad users. Also you can't tell me Apple wouldn't have done the same thing to the android platforms if they'd bought Comixology.

Now I'm imagining them closing comixology and routing everything though iBooks.

Oh God :stonk:

Comixology's site hasn't been updated yet but the Marvel App has. I guess I'll be using that to buy Wednesday comics in the future. The Image app hasn't been updated either as of 11pm JST.

? Site updated a free minutes after 9 for me. It was slow and I can't see previews but I bought a few new releases an hour ago.

As someone vaguely interested in Godzilla, but also trying to keep a cap on how much they're spending on Comixology, is the entire Godzilla bundle worthwhile, or should I just go a la carte? If the latter, is there anything aside from Half-Century War that's can't miss?

Half Century War is above everything else by a mile. The rest vary from terrible to somewhat entertaining.

Here's a sample from Rulers of Earth

Happy Noodle Boy posted:

From Godzilla: Rulers of Earth #6

Godzilla is fighting Mecha-Gigan and Orga. Military is trying to also help. Things are looking grim but then...









NEXT ISSUE: PUNCH PUNCH PUNCH

Godzilla Legends has a few good ones (The Anguirus one is Anguirus vs Destroyah and it's badass in a "little guy never giving up way")

If you didn't immediately buy One Punch Man Vol. 1 & 2 then there's something fundamentally wrong with you.

EDIT: Here's a random chapter turned into a gif



So drat good.

And this is the protagonist

Did Marvel do a promotion last year for Comic Con with Marvel Unlimited?

Thinking about subscribing, but wondering if I should wait the week or so to see if anything special comes out of this weekend.

I think the last comic con had a $1 for the first month promotion.

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.

Speaking of comixology backups, Saga volumes (and I imagine other trades) are now available for download.

I'm confused with that Transfomers bundle. The bulk of if is on the PWYW tier which is Vol. 1-6 then #34-37. The volumes say they have 29 issues total so where's 30-33?

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.

Amazon needs to start doing the price matching everything they do with comixology because hell if I'm starting another digital library elsewhere.

This series is real good. I had picked up #1-28 on the previous sale so it's time to play catch up and buy the last 3 volumes which should get me up to #40.

So if I get both of those bundles, is there anything else I need to read to understand Secret Wars?

Infinity. Anything else from him (his Ultimates and F4/FF runs) are optional. They're referenced throughout but more of a "oh hey this thing from back when" rather than something integral to the story.

Finished off what I was missing from Rat Queen and grabbed Sex Criminals, East of West Vol 4, and Wytches. $25 for a ton of comics is a drat good deal.

Sex Criminals is not what I was expecting. There's some really, really, good moments and I love the characters and this would make a terrific show if they can license Queen but at the same time the story is... I don't know how to explain it. Individually, I like almost everything about it. But when you put it all together something isn't clicking.

I only bought signed up to 10 (vol 2) since I had the first six and it's good. The new artist is pretty good.

Just a shot in the dark, but have you checked Amazon? I just got the first volume of OSM from there. Maybe they're moving some of the listings over?

Aaaand there they are on the kindle store. I hadn't bothered doing the switch account thing but looks like I'll have to get on that.

EDIT: merged the accounts, bought the rest and everything synced as fast as buying them from comixology. Not too bad. Wish the eligible books could be searched within comixology itself.
