No, they don't specify. But if it's on the website, it only means either that they have it on hand, or they can definitely get it from their distributor.

Hmm that's something I don't really care for
Well...yeah, I didn't actually think it would take five more months.
But my last two orders did take at two weeks to ship, with no real indications of stock or anything. Or any communication at all really, until I got worried and sent them an email. So so far my experience definitely falls under the 'a little slow' header. It's been a little while so perhaps they have improv d.
Great buy otherwise though. Books were in great condition.

Now I'm kind of worried. I probably shouldn't have upgraded to fedex ground since I may not even get them next week anyway apparently.
Not that it's a huge deal, but still.

IST isn't as quick with shipping as they used to be. They recently moved from the Midwest to the East coast to be closer to their distributor, so at least backorders don't take as long as they did at one point.
You may get lucky in that what you ordered is available. And as I said, maybe there have been improvements since I last ordered.
Either way yeah it might get end up a little slow, but you'll get your books (and get them in excellent shape) one way or the other
Is Kindle usually good for comics? I know I've wanted an e-reader for my digital collection for a while, but money issues get in the way.

Kindles / Nooks aren't bad for comics (the larger the screen, the better). As long as it can run the CMX app, it should be fine. But they're less good than say, an iPad or whatever fully functional tablet one would prefer.
Marvel has released a couple more hip-hop variant covers.
- All-new X-Men
- Starbrand and Nightmask
- Scarlet Witch

DRM isn't a concern since there are ways around that. I'm more concerned if the quality is the same.

i'm reading Ninjak because the art looks like Jack Kirby compared to the usual trash they put on the pages
hey we don't know the comic is shit yet, even if, yes, the signs ain't looking so hot
What signs? A bad variant cover and...?
James Robinson, who's become so shit even the sad comic about how shit he's become is shit.

James Robinson and Scarlet Witch in 2015
Actually that's it, but the combination of those two factors cause it to start slightly more downhill than if those two weren't involved
I think his pitch for it is really good, myself.
i'm actually having a decent time but whenever i see a credits page with an artist i recognize i'm like "wait, that dude did this??"

In all seriousness i don't usually weigh a writer's previous output too much unless i personally hate it, which isn't even the case here. i'm just indifferent but if they announce a cool artist or w/e, i'm there
Yeah i liked the X-O stuff from the first couple of volumes and those artists, and then Mann /Guice on Ninjak. The A&A and especially Harbinger stuff was mostly whatever. Never read Quantum & Woody but i remember they put like Tom Fowler and Ming Doyle on arcs of that
Yeah Harbinger is yuck (and also
i guess the main dude is a rapist??
and yeah if I ever get to Ninjak i'm sure i'll have a good time, super big on Butch Guice and like Clay Mann quite a bit (and he is also extremely handsome)

James did start going downhill after Cry for Justice...

ah yeah, I liked some parts of the book but i think it was better when it was just about that main guy, as shitty as he was because of course that young dude with Prof X powers is gonna be shitty
and the fact that that chick comes around on him later is... huh. i remember not buying into that
Ninjak, even the fill-in looks good, iirc by Juan Jose Ryp. Clay Mann kinda looks like a Clay Mann character. it's unfair, actually
It isn't.
I got volume 1 of Nu52 Suicide Squad on Kindle cheap, and the scan was so bad that it was literally unreadable. I had to go and buy it from CMX instead. Amazon didn't seem to give the slightest shit.

Thor #375 - #382: That was a fitting end to a glorious run. And I love that we had two winding-down chapters after the big fight (and in Simonson's Thor, a winding-down chapter involves the ice giants attacking Asgard...). Considering that the only other comic I've read with Fin Fang Foom was Nextwave, the reveal of his true identity was hilarious. Both those chapters were amazing.
(-_- even this run wasn't allowed to be untainted by an event.... Not a huge problem though, only a couple of pages of confusion.)

Finished the last Morrison Batman and Robin trade today. Really, really enjoyed this series. DickBats and Damian were such a great team. Laughed far too much at Joker tripping over Dr Hurt with the banana. Guess I'd better order the Batman Inc trade once my wallet has recovered from Star Wars.

Those are great because it shows the artists work better than the aged and at times smudgy coloring done back in the day
Good amount of pages, no comparison to regular sized Trades bought for Kindle.
Of course. Kindle dont support colors, everything is black and white

This post killed me lmao
Kipp didn't make that drawing for nothing
It's very hard. I'm a small guy and Doom Patrol was bigger than that. I ended up just having it open on my bed while I laid on my stomach so I could read it without it crushing me.
Right on. I was talking more about the Black and white complaint though lol

I'm really glad to hear that you're doing better. I'm painfully aware of what getting hit by a bout of depression can be like.

I'm there with you
Two Clone Troopers, two Battle Droids, Kylo Ren and two First Order Troopers all ordered and out within weeks of each other. Then there's all the Bandai Star Wars model kits I want plus that little testicle sized BB-8 sphero thing looks pretty cool.
