[Metalmarc]

Anyone please?

I dunno if deadpool vs punisher is complete on there yet, came out august 30th , i just bought the full one for £2.16 it says 1 page, but it was really 122 pages

Also all of Alias (jessica jones ) is not on there

Nor is Punisher Max

Question about the Miller/Klaus Daredevil Collections

Do those contain the Born Again or Man without Fear story-lines? Because I already own those two separately.

I really need to get a tablet. Reading these on my laptop and TV (through the PS4) just won't cut it.

I'm rolling with a Kindle Fire HD 8 and it's pretty solid. The screen is only 720p, but comics and streaming content (Hulu, Prime Video, etc.) look surprisingly sharp. It'll do if you're looking to buy a tablet without throwing down to much cash.

Using the internet is a fucking nightmare though. It's soooooo slow.

X-Men Blue and X-Men Gold volumes 1 aren't on MU yet and seem to be in this.

The original Alias Series, and Vol 1 of the new Jessica Jones series, aren't on MU as they're MAX titles and are unlikely to be added, and they are all pretty cheap here too.

Thanks! I'll check those out

Hmm just tried to buy Deadpool vs. The Punisher (2017) and I got the message "we did not find a Kindle device or a reading app that supports this item registered to your Amazon account". I have the Comixology app on my iPad Pro and I login using my Amazon UK account. Is there anything else I need to do?

EDIT: Sorted it; just had to download the Kindle app on my iPad and login!

Got the Age of Apocalypse set for $22.00. Couldn't afford the series growing up so I literally only had Alpha and Omega, lol. Now I'll finally find out what happened in between.

Edit: Awwww, crap. Now I see that there are 2 different collections, and I got the one that released earlier. The 2011 version appears to have some books that the 2015 one doesn't, and vice versa. What the hell, Marvel? Is this what you want from me? IS THIS WHO I AM?! Destined to never read the complete AoA?!

For anyone looking to get AoA:

2011: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N4S98SC/?tag=neogaf0e-20
2015: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FWH7LLG/?tag=neogaf0e-20

This is honestly beautiful

 

[PeskyToaster]

How do I redeem the freebie I got from an early purchase?

It will automatically applied to the next eligible book. It won't show up on the item page that you're using a credit but the order will show 0 dollars when it is complete. Check your order history to make sure there are no 0 dollar transactions cause you may have redeemed it if you're buying a lot.

It will look like this in your order history but there's no code to enter. It will just be auto-applied to the next eligible book when you click the buy button

thanks for links

 

[radioactivez0r]

I tried to total up the cost of every book in that Hickman graphic and it comes out just under $80 or so, with a couple rogue issues missing. For some reason things like Avengers 43-44 and New Avengers 31-33 or so aren't in the collections/volumes, plus Infinity overlaps with some of the Avengers collections. That's probably far too much to indulge on at one time so I may stick to some of the Fantastic Four stuff for now.

 

[Metalmarc]

I googled those and they seem to be in a collection called

Avengers: Time Runs Out Vol. 4

 

[radioactivez0r]

Thanks, Amazon has it as separate from the rest of the series for some reason.

Edit - I found another page linking to a different (complete) series: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01883G3GU/ref=series_rw_dp_sw

 

[flkraven]

I read a few last night (just some old Spider-Man prep for my read-through of Superior Spider-Man), and fuck I forgot how much I love comics. It's been 20+ years, but I'm already back hooked. Spent another $30 today :/

 

[thebigmachine]

Need spidey suggestions? What's your current list?

 

[DeathPeak]

Still looking for a little help guidance on this one:

I'm a little overwhelmed by Ultimate Spider Man. There's Ultimate Spider Man, Ultimate Comics Spider Man, then Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider Man, and Spider Men. Buy it all are do issues cross over between some of the collections?

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Still looking for a little help guidance on this one:

I'm sure a quick "ultimate spider-man reading order" google would give you a more detailed answer than any post could tbh

 

[radioactivez0r]

Was missing vol 4 too. Glad you caught this.

I ended up going for all the main books in this thing - FF/Fantastic Four, Avengers/New Avengers, Infinity, Incursions, Time Runs Out, and Secret Wars. Ugh.

Then I bought Spider-Verse Maybe a couple more and I'll be good for I dunno 5 years.

 

[enzo_gt]

When does this sale end, anyone know?

 

[LordOfLore]

When does this sale end, anyone know?

Nope. Don't even remember how long the last one worked.

 

[Jintor]

Shit. I better get on this tonight, I missed the last sale :/

 

[RuinerPrime]

Ms. Marvel is so mine!

edit: welp!

I also bought Vision 1 & 2
Gwenpool 1 - 3
Black Panther 1 - 3
Ms. marvel 1 - 7


that's it. I'm done I swear!

 

[LQX]

Any of these have an apocalyptic feel/story line?

 

[Metalmarc]

Nope. Don't even remember how long the last one worked.

Didnt last time it appear to stop for a few days to a week and then come back?

 

[pHand]

Any of these have an apocalyptic feel/story line?

I mean, you can't get more apocalyptic than Apocalypse. Days of Future Past is another one set in a dark future. You can buy Age of Apocalypse (or any other of the comics on sale) and get Days of Future Past for free!

 

[PeskyToaster]

Still looking for a little help guidance on this one:

Here is where I started. That page should also have a link to the 22 volume series. Bendis is the author.

[BJK]

Bought a ... bunch of stuff. Last thing Im waffling on is the Mockingbirds volumes. y/n?

Seeing no one else answering, let me say this:

This is the cover of the second trade from Chelsea Cain's Mockingbird run. If the notion that a scientist-turned-superheroine might believe in equality between the sexes somehow offends you....then you should avoid buying the book, and read up on the twitter harassment Cain received as a result of this issue cover.

If the image does not offend you, then you should really think about buying these 2 trades.

It's unfair to compare the book to Fraction's Hawkeye, which is revered as a defining (redefining?) run for the character...but it's the closest comparison I can give. Cain redefines Mockingbird by making her the unreliable narrator of her own story.
The first four issues of the book are structured as a puzzle box; the first issue won't make a lick of sense on first reading, but the story gradually expands on and explains itself. Kate Niemczyk's art is ridiculously detailed, and rewards repeat readings / viewings.

tl;dr - it was the best thing I read in 2016...and I'm still sad we didn't get more than these two trades. Buy it.

 

[hamchan]

Well I've spent over $300 on this sale because I'm no longer subbed to Marvel Unlimited so I decided to go a bit crazy.

...and now I'm feeling the urge to sub to MU again.

Read everything you bought first and then sub to MU?

Also I don't feel so bad now for spending around $150 lol

Never read comics before. This all seems overwhelming.

If there's one thing for me to try, what would you recommend? I see The Vision seems to be getting a lot of mentions.

Don't wanna buy a million things and have a backlog like my game and movie library.

 

[pantsattack]

What's the deal with Agents of HATE? Can anyone sell me on that?

If you’re looking to get into series with little ties to existing continuity I would recommend:

Vision
Hawkeye
Ms. Marvel
Squirrel Girl

There’s lots of other good stuff but these are mostly self contained.

It was a good book but the last 2(or3?) issues ruined it for me.

Spoiler

The shoddy retconning of her rape, the lying and the aftermath

didn't sit well with me after how well written the issues before it were(my main thought is that she was told the book was cancelled and she had less than a trade to get everything over with). I thought the cover controversy was a really stupid thing for people to get mad about(hell, the cover had been known for months before people got mad)when there was actually a legitimate thing to discuss and debate. Instead Marvel begged people to buy the issues, the first trade and pre-order the next one while saying the book might survive then while everyone who know how things work saw that the upcoming trade had been shortened(since the book was cancelled) while still going for full price and that there were no more issues on the way. Mockingbird became Spider-Man's girlfriend instead. Last we heard the writer was going to do another volume of Vision(since King left when he finished up the story) but then Secret Empire happened...

I'd say get some short runs/1 volume books. X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills, Old Man Logan (Millar), and Daredevil: Man Without Fear are a few I'd recommend.

[hodayathink]

Also, I never hear people talking about it, but the first thing I bought the last time this sale happened is still one of my favorite comics that I've ever read, and that is "The Death of Captain Marvel". It's a story so good that he joined the Uncle Ben level of characters that get to stay dead in the main Marvel universe (more or less).

 

[RoninChaos]

Still looking for a little help guidance on this one:

No not really. You can read ultimate Spider-Man straight though in one shot. I think it's 120 issues. Best that Spider-Man has ever been. The it goes ultimate comics Spider-Man. Then the miles morales Spider-Man stuff. They really fucked up the naming after the initial ultimate line

I can't recommend ultimate Spider-Man enough. It got me back into comics in the early 2000s. It had me on the edge of my seat more times than I can count.

 

[PeskyToaster]

How long is this sale going for? If it’s ending soon I might say fuck it and get the whole 22 volume Ultimate Spider-Man. I got the first five but I wanna read those first to try it out if I have time. Also are the volumes past 4 worth picking up for Ms. Marvel?

 

[Dr.Social]

Some recs:

Moon Knight By Ellis and Shalvey (1 vol., $2.20)

A collection of six really clever single issue stories.

Silver Surfer: Parable (1 vol., $1.80)

Silver Surfer and Galactus drawn by Moebius

Secret Warriors (6 vol., $10.80)

Spies, secret organizations, super technology, characters with super powers, and an old soldier with an eye patch. It's basically Metal Gear as a Marvel comic.

X-Statix (6 vol., $15.20)

This is a very weird comic that's way more interested in media and celebrity culture than superheroes. Very early 2000s, but fun. Start with these two X-Force books:

X-Force Vol. 1: New Beginnings

X-Force Vol. 2: Final Chapter

Then continue on to X-Statix

 

[biteren]

im not much into comics, id figure id start so i grabbed these:

Infinity Gauntlet (used to own it but had to give it up, i like this one)
Infinity War

Planet Hulk
World War Hulk (i like Hulk and wanted to read somthin where he Wrecks house)

Uncanny X-men: Phoenix Saga
Old Man Logan

 

[J_Viper]

I spent over 400 bones last time around, and yet I still managed to find more comics to throw down money on

Daredevil by Frank Miller and Klaus Janson
Wolverine by Larry Hama & Marc Silvestri
Wolverine Epic Collection: Madripoor Nights
Spider-Man: The Gauntlet Vol. 2: Rhino and Mysterio

Yay or Nay?

 

[Gentleman Jack]

What's the deal with Agents of HATE? Can anyone sell me on that?

This is their main antagonist

His name is Dirk Anger.

He's an asshole.

The book is a satire of other team up comics from Marvel's history, focusing mostly on the most ridiculous parts of world-ending catastrophes and a team generally fed up with being nice and being the ones depended on to save the world.

Can anyone recommend a handheld device specific to reading these? My ancient iPad mini 1 is on the fritz and lacks space at the moment. Just curious what digital comic readers prefer to use. Kindle Fire?
