Had to pause for a bit to hammer through a couple novels by the end of the year, but I’m rereading Klaus at the moment (even if it’s a little late) and then I want to finally do Morrison’s GL now that it’s all done

So from my impression Marvel Unlimited is available in Canada but not Marvel Unlimited +, is that correct

US only

Is there an alternative to Comixology, then?

In what way? Marvel Unlimited + is just Unlimited and you get some discounts and merch, the catalog is still fully available. Same with DC Infinite

So I'm confused, does that mean I can get MU basic but not +?

Yeah exactly. You can get MU and DC Infinite in Canada.

Oh good. I'd heard...less than stellar things about comixology post-acquisition, and my quick test drive confirmed that.

Gonna read me some Roger Stern Spider Man, yessir!

Yeah it's bad. We also don't get Comixology Unlimited but I'm not sure that even exists anymore

That's a big part of why I'm more or less full digital now, good luck finding some obscure 90s licensed comic in print somewhere. I'll still buy physical stuff if it's something really good that I want as a collected thing, but if it's just to read digital is the way to go

So for digital comics what are the options other than Amazon? Because it turns out Marvel Unlimited isn't available to me, Ms.Egg tried to buy it for me as a anniversary present and it explicitly said no Canucks.

You're looking at the wrong thing again, Marvel Unlimited is absolutely available in Canada and has been for years

Chip Zdarksy is coming to my lovely little town as part of his tour in the spring, what’s the etiquette on signing here? Never done this kind of thing outside of a con. Should I buy stuff directly or bring something of my own in with me?

Chip is a super swell guy. Really friendly and indulged all his fans. We're kind of in the middle of nowhere here and it's rare for anyone interesting to come, so it was a real treat.
I was hoping to grab a Public Domain tpb but the shop was sold out of almost everything, all they had were some singles and the Spider-Man tpb, but it's my kids birthday next month and he'll be an 11 year old boy, and I hear they like Spider-Man so that worked.

Superman should be jacked, but like 1930s old timry jacked. Not rippling, well defined muscles and an 8 pack, but barrel cheated and sturdy. That's what a Kansas farm boy would look like anyways, and given that he gets his strength from the sun and he's not bench pressing buildings or anything, it would be more likely how he'd look

I'm reading Transformers vs. GI Joe and it's so good, although I'm having trouble following the story and understanding character motivations at times, which really isn't that big of a deal.

Is there anything else out there that is similar to this type of artwork/style? I do have GI Joe and the Transformers queued up to read after this as well.

All of Scioli's stuff is similar, he's a mad man in the best way. Go Bots is closest but Godland is really cool if you're a Kirby fan

The Evil Reed Richards is presumably Maker from Hickman's Ultimates stuff. He's doing a new series called Ultimate Invasion right now but you'd probably want a reading guide if you want to jump into that stuff

There's also Unknown Soldier, which Ennis had a run on and is centered around Nam. It's sort of supernatural but not a Cape comic or anything

I'm iffy on cons anyways because I don't think there's anyone I'd pay $100 to get a picture with, but we like to wander through the crafts and stuff. We skipped this for the last few years with covid and if I didn't already have travel and stuff booked this would have been enough to get me asking for a refund
