That will probably never happen again. The Marvel / DC crossover was pretty likely a one-time thing.

Oh I know. Still want it. And I'm adding Laura Kinney to this fictional crossover. Actually, replace Cindy with Laura.

I haven't linked yet but my understanding is it should work like you described

I have purchased Kindle/Comixology titles from the Amazon store (actually they were gifted!) and it works like you describe. Just make sure they are really both, because I think a few titles on the Kindle store don't get you Comixology versions, and the Kindle reader is wretched.

Guess I'll start checking with them on trade purchases. I assumed the prices would be standardized by Amazon, yet here we are.

Flashpoint is $12.99 on Comixology, and $7.95 when bought through Amazon. Madness.

Is there an omnibus with all of the tie-ins for George Perez' War of the Gods event or nah?

It's one of the oddest ways to end a run in comic history.

Also the most impactful company crossover ever? YUP!

I can honestly say no.

That's a great price! A lot cheaper than the physical editions too. (The first three omnibuses can be had for around the same price but they only cover the first 93 issues).

Any of you use CMX Unlimited? Seems like a decent program for someone looking to catch up on older issues. Unless the Unlimited library is lacking.

It's basically just a way to sample books a lot of books from companies other than Marvel and DC for cheap rather than a means to catch up.

That's a better way to utilize it for sure. No DC and Marvel isn't really a deal breaker, but it'd be great to have access to what they have to offer.

I'll probably give the 30-day trial a try.

 

[TheDarkKnight774]

I'd love it if someone could do an article (or point me to one that already exists) to find out when comics moved away from having every sentence end with an exclamation mark! I want to say it was maybe late 80s but I'm not sure!

 

[Freezasaurus]

I don't know which is harder to believe. That there was a Thing solo series, or that it made it to 23 issues.

Freeza. Let me tell you about an age when marvel would let books go beyond the number 12 before cancelling or renumbering. Numbers..numbers as high as you could possibly imagine

 

[Tyrant Rave]

imagine a modern Marvel comic making it to 23 issues

 

[ViewtifulJC]

not only did it make it to 36 issues, but it was only after his Marvel Two-In-One series ran 100 issues(in which Ben Grimm teams up with a random marvel character).

and the only reason it was cancelled so Marvel could launch New Universe(which was a huge bomb).

Dazzler had an ongoing make it 42 issues.

Stan Lee never ends any sentence with a period. That wouldnt be exciting!

Between this, two wrestling events in one weekend, and Overwatch, i have been neglecting comics in a manner that seems deliberate after finishing WW Earth One, which isn't the best book to go out on.

To drive slowly by a car accident (or site having emergency vehicles) and turn the head to see anything gory.

Stick with it. Although book three is probably trapped in some special limbo along with the rest of the Game of Thrones books (that won't even matter after HBO does us the courtesy of finishing the story), the sequel, A Wise Man's Fear was even better than the first book. I'm not a big fan of the Fantasy genre anymore, but this is probably in my top three favorite fantasy series of all time. A top three which includes neither A Song of Ice and Fire or Wheel of Time.

 

[Boogiepop]

I don't know which is harder to believe. That there was a Thing solo series, or that it made it to 23 issues.

I knew of its existence if only because for at least a few years the Essential for it was clogging up my local Comic Con like crazy. Like, every place you went in there there were at least 10 of them, just a mass surplus. It was probably worse then those movie tie-ins and crap that had a similar fate of filling bins and never being touched.

I wish i were reading the last Game of Thrones book now :/

I own the second Windy book, and i'm definitely finishing this one and probably moving on to that. I do have The Mistborn three book set to get back into eventually, another book where i read 20 pages and didn't get back to it.

I read Mistborn but never got to the other two. I wasn't feeling it enough to keep going. Sanderson did write a pretty interesting one-and-done book called Warbreaker. That one I liked. I also got halfway into that 1,000-page monster, Way of Kings.

X-O Manowar Deluxe Edition Vol. 1 seems like the jumping on point, yea?

Just want to be sure before committing to a purchase.

Was checking upcoming releases and noticed IST has Rachel Rising omnibus back in stock for anyone that was looking for it. They have it marked as limit 1 per customer which is weird, never seen that before myself.

Thanks for the quick reply. Now to wait for it and Deadly Class to arrive.

i can't wait til Acuña gets on art. also, what do i need to know before starting this?

Just UXF and you should be all good

Naturally. It had to.

The Thing is the most popular FF member (and also the best by far)

When I was reading the Origin of the Inhumans collection, Ben was definitely the most likable member. Johnny was actually a bit boring, surprisingly.

I'm 60+ issues into classic Daredevil and it's every damn sentence! Every! Damn! Sentence!

Drives me crazy!

You haven't posted a review of those in awhile! I thought you were a true believer!

 

[Aceun]

Time out.

How did I miss that it was T'Challa who first said "Everything Lives. Everything Dies." in FF #607, in a moment where him and Reed's fate are literally linked.

The ending of Secret Wars just took another quantum leap in its awesomeness for me.

Tired of watching trailers of that snowden movie in theaters.

 

[Donniewahlberg]

Had a look at some of these Valiant trades. 4 issues a trade, is this right? Seems like they do a bit of an intro price for volume 1s, I like that, but then around £9 average after that for 4 at a time. Reminds me of the IDW turtles trades. Hmm.

EDIT: Do they have any sort of digital sub service like MU?

 

[ElNarez]

Stage 5: Shit, this isn't Casanova v1, I picked up the wrong book. This is Casanova Acedia v1.

It's like the time I read Ender's Shadow before Ender's Game because I saw a #1 on the cover.

Still pretty good though, really enjoyed it.

Fraction seems to have a thing for Louboutins. And unlike Hawkeye, at least the colorist got it right here.

man you're in luck, because reading Gula makes SO MUCH of Acedia clearer

like, basically, if you had to read Casanova in the wrong order by accident, you picked just about the best case scenario
