Thanks for that info. Also tangentially Fantagraphics related is that the Dark Horse sale at Comixology has Usagi Yojimbo Saga trades (500+ pages) on sale for 2.99 which is the lowest ever. Buy all of them! Also, does volume 8 finish the Dark Horse run?

There are 4 other marvel sales already running, including Doctor Aphra, so you can get them even cheaper, if you buy them now as 3 of them are ending today.

That B1G1 stacked with the New Mutants sale and I was able to get the first two New Mutants Epic Collections (about 40 issues total) for $8+tax. That'll do me well in quarantine.

What's the best way to read these comics? I don't care which format I read as long as it is 1) full screen, 2) rotates for widescreen pages, and 3) swipes between pages. I plan on using OneDrive/downloading the files to the device, so I don't need any library management.

I own almost everything Hickman has written for Image in trades, so I've spent way more than that! Just love having the digital copies and the two things I hadn't gotten yet.

i really tried to get into pax romana and the nightly news but just couldnt the nightly news especially does not seem to be suited to reading digitally because all the various text boxes are tiny but that also seems like something that would be exacerbated when reading on smaller print pages, so i dunno how hickman got away with it back in the day

No joke Nightly News is probably* my favorite Hickman thing and the reason I read most everything he puts out. But I read it in trade paperback, do can't comment on how it is digital. *HoX/PoX may have beaten it out.

I got this answer for reading on an iPad and am really happy with it (see a few posts above). Alan G posted:Chunky is the best one Ive found. Does all that plus integrates with onedrive/dropbox etc. Isnt free though. On Android, I always read the PDFs through one of the PDF apps (Google Docs, Adobe). Windows I use CDisplayEX for CBRs (pay attention to the installer cause it tries to add some AdWare). For storing and organizing, I just use Windows folders for each title and "title 001", "title 002", etc for the file names. I even do "title 001-006" for collections sometimes. I'm pretty basic with that. (I basically do the same thing for all my media) For getting stuff to my devices, OneDrive or Dropbox. Nothing fancy. Move the stuff I wanna read at the moment. Again, I'm a basic bitch.

This has to be the most expensive DC sale in a long time. First issues of trades were 5.99 and now the same or 5.99. And when I first looked some singles were .99 but they moved them back to 1.99. Not to mention they have everything at 4.99 several time’s a year. I just don’t get it.

You can get 193 issues of The Walking Dead for $18. https://www.humblebundle.com/books/walking-dead-image-comicsskybound-entertainment-books I grew bored of the series a few hardcovers in (was borrowing them from a friend), but am tempted anyway...

Uthor posted:On Android, I always read the PDFs through one of the PDF apps (Google Docs, Adobe). I spent a while taffing around with sync-to-device + local reading, but the problem I had was that comics are large enough, and my tablet has little enough storage, that I was constantly shuffling files around, which was annoying. Then I tried serving them over HTTP or SSHFS and using a reader that supported network fetches, but didn't like any of the reader software I tried. Eventually I installed ubooquity on my home server, and just started reading in the browser, both on my laptop and my tablet; it lacks some of the features cdisplay has, but has the virtue of working everywhere with no further loving around and keeping my read status in sync no matter what device I'm reading on. I also hacked together a userJS for it to make the UI a bit nicer -- show read/unread status of books without opening them, show status for directories, and slightly better controls in the actual book reading UI.

The guy who made Chunky Comic Reader is working on a new reader that reads comics from the cloud (Google Drive/OneDrive/Ubooquity/etc...) by default and allows you to download if required. It's only in beta testing at the moment, but it looks good. It was sitting in development hell for a while, but he's recently returned to it so I'm hoping it will be released soon. Where do you place the userJS? Does it work with other themes?

I use Kuboo to read comics from my desktop, it works pretty well. My dream app is something like Plex for comics, tracking what's read and unread, gathers metadata, etc. Since Humble Bundle does comics I've gotten a lot of miscellaneous junk that's a pain to organize.

It's only in beta testing at the moment, but it looks good. It was sitting in development hell for a while, but he's recently returned to it so I'm hoping it will be released soon. It should work with any theme, but I've only really tested it with the Grey theme since that's what I use. Themes are just images and CSS, though, and the script relies entirely on element classes/IDs/types and doesn't care about the styles or what images are in use. As for where you put it -- if your browser has userJS support (either directly, like older versions of Opera, or through an extension like Violentmonkey for Chrome or Firefox), just paste it into that and edit the header to replace @include https://my.ubooquity.server/comics/* with the URL of your server. If you use multiple ubooq servers add an @include line for each one of them. If you can't use userJS in the browser, you'll have to inject it server-side. I have a NixOS configuration for doing that with nginx here, and I can post the generated nginx.conf fragment if you need it. A quick rundown of the features: Reading - the progress bar is replaced with a slider you can use to jump around in the book - you can fast-exit the book by tapping right twice (at the end) or left twice (at the start) rather than opening the menu Bookshelf (all of these features require "save reading progress on server" turned on, they don't work with local storage) - The "read/download" interstitial is gone; click on a book cover to open it or the title to download it - Individual books will display a page count and 📕 icon if you haven't started reading them, a pages read/total count and 📖 icon if you have, and a check mark if they're finished - Directories you haven't viewed (since installing the script) will display ?📁 - Directories you have viewed will display a file count and 📁 if you haven't read any books in them, books read/total and 📂 if you've read some books in them, and a file count and check mark if you've read all the books in them. - "reload" and "mark all read" (or "mark all unread" if you've read everything in that directory) buttons added at the top Known Issues - no support for locally-stored read progress - directory progress just shows ? for unvisited directories even when it knows how many books are inside - directory progress doesn't distinguish between "you've not opened any of the books in this folder" and "you've opened some but haven't finished any" - if a directory has multiple pages it only shows you the status for the most recently viewed page rather than for the entire directory; this can be mitigated by setting "# of comics per bookshelf page" to a high number in the admin control panel - it takes a moment to load when viewing the bookshelf, since it needs to make 1-2 extra queries to the server for each book on the shelf Medullah posted:I use Kuboo to read comics from my desktop, it works pretty well.

Yeah, Ubooq is the closest I've found for that but it doesn't do any sort of metadata fetching or help you organize your stuff, it just serves a directory tree. I've hacked together a bunch of shell scripts to help organize comics as I get them but it's not a great solution and very specific to my setup.
