I circled it in yellow, everything is going to be okay. I've learned nothing from my failures at touching up the wonder woman statue. It would be a lot easier if DC listed what paints they used, if i paint it and it doesn't match up well enough...
I'd actually buy this.

Where's that Rucka Punisher Omnibus at?

So I just subscribed to Marvel Unlimited. I'm looking forward to Hawkeye and Mrs.Marvel. I'm primarily a Horror nerd. What is Marvel's best horror shit? I already added some black and white Dracula adaption from 2004 to my library.
I've heard of Werewolf by Night but I only saw two issues listed. What gives? Help a dork out.

For more than 50 years, there's a comic series in Brazil called "Turma da Mônica" which revolves around 4 kids doing kids things. It's actually really good, well written, funny and has a charmingly simple art style.
And for some time now, they're releasing some stories focused more on grown ups, with a refined art style and sensitive stories.
This one, Bidu: Paths, is the story about how a street dog (Bidu) met and became best friends with Franjinha (his owner in the stories).
As far as I know, these stories are Brazil only, with some of them releasing on Portugal.
My question is: Is there any big comics in your Country that aren't available worldwide, but you think it should?

It's like a large dead pixel on a statue that i stare at all the time. Worst case scenario the reds don't match up and it's an off-red instead of black. I got a plan.

literally every single panel of this page is amazing
I think my favorite is him discovering his secret identity based on a matter of speaking. "On Top...OH SHIT!"
Silver Age Flash is so cheesy that it's amazing. Except the Kid Flash back up stories, they are god awful and make me long for the not quite as bad Elongated Man back ups.
Straight from Flash #122, "Beware the Atomic Grenade!"

Those pages are brilliant. Awful but brilliant.
Hello

There's a comic strip that's kind of famous in Spain that my mom always talks about called Zipi y Zape. The premise is similar, but I have no idea if it's any good.
For buying comics, Comixology is perhaps the best app. Kindle has some comics that CMX doesn't. There's also the Dark Horse app for DH stuff that isn't on CMX yet.
There are also two subscription services that I know of: Marvel Unlimited and Scribd. MU has a bunch of Marvel stuff, obviously; Scribd has some Marvel stuff, a lot of IDW, Valiant, Boom, Archie, Top Cow, and Dynamite, some Top Shelf and Zenescope.

I had a ridiculous idea this morning. The oversized tablet. So you could turn all your CMX HD purchased comics into an Absolute/Library edition. Totally impractical for a company to make, yet something I'd buy

I was about to say they exist.
They have been talking about an Ipad Pro rumored thingy for awhile now, 12.9'' and people talking about not knowing what to do with it.
We know.
I don't handle football banter well.

Sadly, MS is the only one who makes them, so the CMX situation would still be a disaster.

This is real?

Would be awesome. My tablet died, so I'm reading comics on my monitor for the moment.
Tackling my Humble backlog, I just read the big Saga collection from the last Image bundle, I think it was #1-18. Wooooooooooow. What a comic! I need more! I would buy more, but I lost my card today so I can't. That Fiona Staples art.
Yeah I preordered mine today.

I'm still rocking an iPad 2. I'll update if they released a bigger one.

So I think someone might have mentioned it awhile ago, but Morrison's Annihilator - no-brainer to preorder the first HC?
EDIT: also, on a scale of Final Crisis to Doom Patrol, how is The Invisibles?

Hah I didn't know that existed but way bigger than I was thinking

Yeah, but that one is big enough that you could read 2-3 OHCs simultaneously.
i have an ipad 3 and ipad air 2 currently, something is getting traded in for the Beast. I don't think i'd want to do anything but comics on it though....i don't want a 12.9'' tablet for the small amount of games i play or browsing gaf. How large do Olivia Wilde gifs need to be?

Alternating reading one panel from each OHC. The future of comic reading.

He is a mutant, and due to Comic Book Science/his parents radiation-altered DNA/MAGIC, he actually had stupidly godlike powers ever since he was a toddler(usually mutant powers dont show up til teenage years because puberty metaphor)
Lashley
Why does he wear the mask!?
Thanks bud
That comic strip where he revives Galactus and goes
"TO ME....MY GALACTUS"
Chills.

That meme never gets old. I mean, it counts as a meme already for Marvel, right?

Thanks for the answer. So, here's another one:
- How do you guys decided between buying the digital version and the physical book?
It would be easier for me going all digital, since I'd have the comics anywhere anytime. And I could get new editions on launch day, not 1 month later paying $20~$30 for shipping.
And the comics would be cheaper too...
Shit, I think I should go all-digital on Comics too. Already done it with all my games/music/books.
New question: Where do you guys read? Which tablet? I lost mine last year at the university

Me too. I listened to the first part of their Mutant Massacre episode and started reading the actual issues after. They're a good show.
I don't know about them seemingly being prioritized above muties, but I do think they're cool. I wish Medusa was on an Avengers team.
Hi guys. ^_^/
Price, availability, quality of the collected edition, price price price price, if i want to read it sooner or wait for it to hit MU/trade.

Digital for everything, except stuff I want the physical copy of as a keepsake. For me, that's stuff like Snyder Batman, Hawkeye, Dungeons & Dragons: Fell's Five, Rat Queens, just general favourites.
I'm definitely gonna buy the Sunstone trades soon as well. Just have to hope they don't get randomly picked off the shelf by visitors.

Which way you go should be entirely up to your tastes and availability. Personally, I do mostly trades and some digital, but obviously my availability for both is pretty high so I can afford to choose. There's no shame in going all digital for someone who doesn't have easy access to other formats.
However, I should say that if you don't want this hobby to tear up your finances, you have to develop an almost zen-like patience. I would buy every single comic day 1 if I could afford it; but, it's not practical at all. Trust me, it may seem like you're interested in only a handful of comics right now, but as your tastes develop and expand, the thirst will become all too real.
I personally read 90% at home, but I do travel pretty often. I usually buy a bunch of digital comics whenever I do. I have a Kindle Fire HD (I think? Used to be my dad's and I traded my Nexus 7 to him lol).
