[Metalmarc]

Guys have you seen the Kindle versions of The Art of Movie book prices? Okay they are pre-orders at the moment but with amazon you always pay the lowest price given when you pre order right? Or will they charge the full price when they release?

OK, not a problem. These are self-contained, complete, good for new readers and AWESOME.

On a second thought, I'm more into origin stories and then the after stuff.

 

[Loxley]

Thanks for the heads up, picked up a lot of stuff. I'm usually more of a DC guy but I'm always down for some X-Men and Ultimate Spidey. Grabbed Miller's Daredevil run as well, which I've never read but heard great things about.

- Old Man Logan by Mark Millar
- Planet Hulk/World War Hulk
- Punisher Max by Garth Ennis
- Superior Spiderman (Dan Slott has a good run in general though) - PS get the Ends of the Earth and Dying Wish arcs which lead into Superior Spiderman

 

[Dalek]

Might I recommend The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl Beats Up The Marvel Universe

Seriously one of the best Marvel stories in years and it's only 2 bucks!

 

[jon bones]

On a second thought, I'm more into origin stories and then the after stuff.

you're in for a treat with Ms Marvel, who is destined to be the next Spider-Man

i would pick up vol 1-4 which is her first run (vol 1 is her origin story)

Are you in the usa?

Do you like Deadpool? There is a Deadpool Adamantium Collection 788 pages, $5.71 digital whereas the paper version is $153, nice saving, or if your a fellow brit its like £4 odd.

 

[Lucario]

grabbing The Vision and Squirrel Girl

Is the Kindle HD8 a good comic reader, or is the screen too small?

 

[BronsonLee]

You did good, but pick up Lady Thor and keep on doing good.

She kicks Odin's shit in for being a jerk and that was one of the mid points of the run TBH.

I wanna keep doin' good!

Books I'm thinking of getting:

Gwenpool
Ms. Marvel (all 7(?) volumes)
Jane Thor
Alias
Black Panther (Ta-nehisi Coates series)

Any opinions or other things I should look at based on those?

I have just given the most important opinion so far in this thread.

 

[BigBlueBanana]

I passed on the superhero stuff and picked up Marvel's (formerly Dark Horse's) Star Wars Legacy series. Three volumes, over 1200 pages and only $15. It's a non-canon story that takes place 100 years after all the Star Wars characters we know are dead. I'm up to issue 4 and it's great so far.

Oh, and buy The Vision books for God's sake!

 

[sweetvar26]

Re: viewing these on desktop - I'm running Windows 10 and the kindle app is "not available" - is there another way to read these on my computer if I purchase them?

 

[Killua]

i believe it's only ~$40 for like 200 issues, and it will be a great entry point for your kids to get started reading when they're young

it's an investment really

Sigh. You convinced me lol. I just bought them.

It came out to $53.20 USD for all 22 Ultimate Spiderman books. Incredible deal.

[AdamT]

Picked up Astonishing X-Men and Ms. Marvel. Have the hardcover of Astonishing Vol. 1, so I'm excited to pick that back up.

Also, I just noticed you can view and buy the all the volumes on a single Amazon page. Never seen that before! Example: Ms. Marvel

 

[WyndhamPrice]

Re: viewing these on desktop - I'm running Windows 10 and the kindle app is "not available" - is there another way to read these on my computer if I purchase them?

Do you have a linked Comixology account? You can read from a browser or the Comixology app.

[Stinkles]

So I need the Kindle app for iPad to read 'em? Do I also purchase through Kindle?

 

[LucidMomentum]

So I need the Kindle app for iPad to read 'em?

You can link your account to Comixology and use that too!

Keep the recommendations going y'all, I'm gonna go hard in the paint tonight.

 

[KenzinFive]

People, don't sleep on Gwenpool. It's secretly one of the best comics currently running at Marvel. Now's a perfect time to get caught up.

 

[WillyFive]

So I need the Kindle app for iPad to read 'em? Do I also purchase through Kindle?

If you want to read it on your iPad, sure.

 

[Stinkles]

You can link your account to Comixology and use that too!

Is that a preferred route? iPad pro.

 

[Kurdel]

Is that a preferred route? iPad pro.

Comixology all the way.

All your comics will be there of you buy them digitally, and they look amazing on my Pro.

Even stuff from DC, Image and others will all live in the Comixology app.

 

[jon bones]

Is that a preferred route? iPad pro.

yes, i would go Comixology

and man are they going to look great on that iPad Pro

It just says "Download sample" - for every book actually. Am I stupid or is this apple preventing Amazon from selling directly via the app?

Yes, but.

You buy on Amazon's site, then link your Amazon account to Comixology and they'll all be there for reading.

A bit more work cause Apple lol.

Y'all making me want to buy a tablet...

YES. Godbomb is so good. Get the Lady Thor run too!

Does that have an origin story as well guys?

oh yeah it is GREAT

what part of India are you in bredren?



😈😈😈

Andhra Pradesh. You anywhere around?

 

[Dalek]

I don't know why they do this, but I assume it's some licensing/in-app purchase thing. It sucks. Buy it on the browser or your computer. They will then show up in the ComiXology app.

 

[Kurdel]

Yeah Apple are dicks, you need to go through the Amazon website in safari, but it gets added to the app instantly.

OK I am now caught up to Kindle/Comics and Amazon in 2017...

What a palaver. But these deals are too good to be true. Reading thread for reccs now.


EDIT. Turns out a bunch of stuff is free on Comixology (Prime benefit?)

 

[Dalek]

Does that have an origin story as well guys

Godbomb is a long story about Thor, it's not an origin story. However in this run it does eventually introduce the lady Thor and you learn her origin.

 

[LucidMomentum]

Does that have an origin story as well guys?

If you get the Lady Thor collection it'll go over her origin / how she becomes Thor.

Godbomb & God Butcher is pretty standalone. You just have to know that Thor is the god of thunder, there's nothing to pick up from the other comic series

 

[PeskyToaster]

It just says "Download sample" - for every book actually. Am I stupid or is this apple preventing Amazon from selling directly via the app?

I think it's because if there's in-app purchases a cut has to go to Apple.

Also holy shit someone needs to stop me. I grabbed the Ennis Punishers, Frank Miller's Daredevil, the Deadpool Adamantium Collection (it was like 5 bucks for like nine thousand issues), Ms. Marvel, and The Vision. Is there one more set I absolutely have to read?

That's a one off story that was printed as a hardcover graphic novel.

How dare you.

Alright, shall I get all 4 volumes or Godbomb and God Butcher good enough start?

Get you some Black Panther: The Man Without Fear, y'all.

Black Panther takes on Hell's Kitchen.

Alright, shall I get all 4 volumes or Godbomb and God Butcher good enough start?

Ah nice.

The first two are all you need. Volumes 3 and 4 weren't as strong, in my opinion. But Volumes 1 and 2 are great.

 

[RecRoulette]

I put $25 in my Amazon account yesterday and said "That's it." Eating ham sandwiches for dinner the next couple of days so I can double down.

Here's what I've bought so far:

Mark Waid F4 run (books 1-3)
Wolverine: Old Man Logan
Gwenpool, The Unbelievable 1 (probably getting the other ones later)
Deadpool Kills the Marvel Universe
Marvel 1872
Secret Wars 2015
Doctor Strange and Doctor Doom: Triumph and Torment
Marvel 1602 (got free with promo)

Probably going to pick up a few of the recommendations in here too.

 

[Brandon F]

I'm noticing that some of these are free with a Prime membership. Is that normal? I was never aware.

I got a paperback of Triumph and Torment as a Christmas gift last year. It is such a fun read.

I'm noticing that some of these are free with a Prime membership. Is that normal? I was never aware.

Not sure, there's so much Prime stuff I miss out on things almost weekly...

*EDIT* Holy Shit I just got a $50 Amazon gift certificate from work. You already know what it's going towards...
