Wolverine and the X-Men a shot. And #17 should be compulsory for everybody that posts in BSS.

Absolutely. It's brilliant.

Next sale is American Vampire. A 7 day sale.

I buy a lot of digital codes off of the Bleeding Cool forums but if there was a goon organized effort I'd much rather join that.

EDIT: Avengers Arena (and Academy) a Marvel Monday Miracle!

I just got Walking Dead Volume 20 for $1.84 on Kindle.

I also got volume 19 for 3 bucks when it came out. Seems like they deep discount them when the print drops.

If I buy Sex Criminals on the web, can I download them from the Comixology app?

I still have #1 and seen that they've restarted with only #5 on the app.

Japan's hasn't changed but it has gone up and down before depending on exchange rates. It's 100¥ now, highest was 115¥ and lowest 85¥.

No marked read option either? I have 90 gigs downloaded. Ugh.

I've bought codes and used that credit (I'm Hitler) and it all worked under the old app so that's fine.

I'd like to punish them somewhat (until I get tired of it in 3 days) so what are other options for purchasing via Image or IDW?

I think GC's comments on new users having to go from the app to website is a good one.

I have 90 gigs. What the gently caress do I do to manage things? Change over and have everything marked as new? Theres no way to mark as read without clicking on each one and waiting a few seconds.

It's a mess and it's my comic collection, one of the most anal things that's ever existed. I'm frustrated.

You can just leave the current app how it is.

They can't force you to delete out of date apps.

Yes I have two apps now. One which won't be updated that shows what I've read and what I haven't.

Also, curious how time zones will work. We usually get a 1pm update on Monday, Tuesday and Friday with sales because of the app. Maybe it's all in Eastern time now?

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.

So long as someone else has brought up the manga question, is there any decent place to get manga in the original Japanese? The digital bookstores I've used in Japan want me to use their proprietary reader, which is invariably the slowest and clunkiest piece of software you can imagine. And iTunes doesn't want to take my credit card, so gently caress those guys.

iBooks has a ton in the Japanese store.

The biggest crime in comics is not putting out every one of Stokoe's books in the most lavish hardcovers imaginable. gently caress if I'm going to sully his art by viewing it in a lovely mass market paperback.

On the iPad you could try running a VPN and using the IDW app maybe?

Saga vol 1 is on sale for 1.99 on Comixology. Bought the first three at a previous sale and coincidentally started reading it today.

It's really, really brilliant. Buy it.

edit: blasting through vol 2 now, best read in ages (well Thor: the Accursed was something special too)

Every Image title gets a sale so we can always wait. Thought so with DC but Starman hasn't been on sale for two years.

Basically Amazon bought comixology so if they didn't have guided view before they sure do now.
Wonder how the price differences will work now though.

I got Walking Dead vol 20 for less than 2 dollars at release.

Not as good as the Comixology one but I'll read that when it's on sale.

Warren Ellis' Trees is free on Comixology or through the apparently new Image app.

Any info on the latter? Still has IAP at least.

Those Bloom County books are really good. I like the additional commentary by Berk Breathed even though there isn't a lot of it. Cheap too. As a kid I loved penguins for some reason and I started reading that when it was still in the paper because of Opus.

Really glad I did.

I thought 13-17 was better than the other stuff, though I have reread it unlike the other stuff. I loved the art, humour and characters in it. It was bright and fun and for me the best part of the series.

Is there a difference between the apps and Comixology on what's available on sales? Seems like less of Teen Titans sale is on the app. The exchange rate has gotten poo poo out here recently and buying through the app is cheaper.

Oops I should have said through the DC app. (also noticed Batman isn't there either.)

Right now with the Yen tanking buying through the app would save me 20% so I'm hoping to do that for the upcoming sales.
