Wow, so on the Android app we now have a cart system and can use Paypal? That's pretty sweet actually. And now I'm glad I never bought an ipad instead of an Android tablet.

Messi, the dream is still alive.
I can hang in there. DC will reward my loyalty. That's how this works.

I hadn't read that post a few pages back about SHIELD finally returning. That's pretty awesome.
Seriously, the reader/comic format is what I value the most on Comixology (along the cloud service obviously), so that's the one thing that would really annoy me if it were downgraded.
Glad to see we're on the same page.

Wait people seriously bought through the app? Is convenience really worth a Fraction Family Dinner?
What Unemployed Comic Superstar?
Geez. Make it Stephenie already and end our pain.

I know, today's update is actually great on a Nexus 7...but in iOS land I guess redirecting to site = worthless app.

good idea that i never considered. end the "Steph was(n't) a real Robin" debate!
Once again proving that Android > iOS
Android team has stepped their game up and rocking the fuck out of shit.
I think the best option for iOS folks is subscribing.

Since when was it ever a debate? She did the super hero equivelant of trying on clothing in the dressing room only to find the shoes were too big to fill.
Really?
Same as print. I really kind of want to know what price point you expect.

Digital services need to offer a discount if you subscribe; the same way that LCS will do so if you have a pull list.
Perhaps... a 30% discount... ?
You're right they sued because it was Captain Marvel who was a clone of Superman which led to the Marvelman. I got my history mixed up.
Can't wait for them to bring back Sentry and rename him Marvel.

I totally agree and have brought this up to the people in charge but... Can't say much.
Dammit, stupid Comixology new payments sucks. I wish our Canadian dollar wasn't so shitty, ah well, Eric you're still awesome.
May have to cut down on the pull list somewhat, Amazon will have to deal with that. If only Axel Alonso was smart and realized that $1.99 and 2.99 books would cause people to buy them in droves.

Yeah, i don't expect 99 cents, but if i'm buying print books through DCBS at 40% off, and Marvel includes digital codes with each book, $4 for a digital book seems ridiculous. I can only assume Marvel's answer to my pricing equivalents would be to take out the digital codes with print copies. " See, now the difference isn't so bad."
Maybe $1.99 and i'd sub to some books that i couldn't wait to be shipped once per month, events and stuff. But i'd still probably pay the $2.39 for Marvel print books at dcbs to get the print and digital copy for the vast majority.
yeah, it's literally on her wikipedia page
A lot of people claimed that she was a real Robin. I was suprised as I found out that she was Robin for like 5 issues. Overhyped as fuck.

I ain't even mad. She won't be Robin. Two: She is best as Spoiler. I don't understand this desire to shoehorn her in as mediocre also rans as Robin or Batgirl. She was terrible as both. As Spoiler she has her own identity which she has earned.

You tend to rely on "really?" a lot as a defense, but it's pretty meaningless.
Everyone knows subbing for floppies at a LCS nets you a decent discount.
So I started reading the new Nova on Marvel U and it's not terrible. I noticed in the column in the second issue they mention Rich and him being stuck in the Cancerverse and how they "may" have to revisit. I'd be silly to expect anything to come from that right? Has he been brought up in issue? You'd think with Gamora and Rocket there he would get a mention.
Not sure I like the implications of this Supernova stuff, did the badass black ops nova not hear about the Annihilation wave and how all the Nova's died? Maybe that's why he's an alcoholic.

I worked at midtown comics they didn't offer a discount on subs just $20 off for every $100 you spent.
We can agree on this, as Spoiler, she was great.
She was awesome in all her roles.
My hope is that if she become part on an established legacy, other writers down the line will find it difficult to remove her.
Until Damien returns. Then she can move on to being Batgirl again. And Barbara can be oracle again. And Tim can lose that ridiculous costume. And Superman can regain his briefs back and...

Final Crisis on New Earth 52 will happen at some point. I am pretty sure on this.

Nope, those can stay in the Old 52.
Read a few issues of Dynamite's Battlestar Galactica today because I love Dan Abnett. I wasn't dissapointed.
Read JLU. As a Canadian, I was a bit embarrassed by Lemire's little bits of Canadiana references. They just seemed too expected, too easy. Like someone writing a book set in England who feels compelled to add fog, cups of tea and 'Cor Blimey!'. I had expected something a little more subtle from Lemire.
And are we to assume
That's the vibe I got.

Animal Man and Stargirl are in a relationship?

I've always bought my comics from the Comixology website, mainly because creators get paid a larger percentage since Apple isn't taking a cut.
What's confusing is that the new app doesn't have a link to the website like the Dark Horse comic app does. Under More Books, Comixology boasts about its vast catalog, but then all I can do is paw at my iPad like a cat trying to get at a mouse in an aquarium.
Ugh I hope not, I really like Ellen.

Ummm. That's mathematically the same as 20% off.
Not liking that comixology change :/
Also not sure what any of the involved companies would gain from it
In other news did the Marvel unlimited app on android finally get updated. Their guided view isn't quite as good as the one from comixology but it's a huge improvement over what they had before

Ew that's definitely not the vibe I got.
Long-Story Short: Outside from watching Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes (being my first introduction to the character) & the occasional comic book that featured one of the many incarnations of the guy, I had never paid too much attention to Ant-Man.
What essential Ant-Man comic books could you guys recommend, in order for me to get myself up to speed?

Ryan Stegman is the new artist of inhuman starting on issue 4. Lulz.
but it's only rafa-tier pull lists. I'd be left behind, comixologied.
They are trying to give you the bad comics for free.
Yeah, so do I. I bailed on Animal Man during the Rotworld shitfest so I'm not up to date on what Buddy is up to.
His reference to their dinner, the fact that the two of them were together in Toronto for the con, and his look of betrayal at Stargirl calling in help indicated to me they had some sort of history.
I'm glad to hear that I've misread it. Hopefully.
3d covers had a good character arc.
