I think GC's comments on new users having to go from the app to website is a good one.

I have 90 gigs. What the gently caress do I do to manage things? Change over and have everything marked as new? Theres no way to mark as read without clicking on each one and waiting a few seconds.

It's a mess and it's my comic collection, one of the most anal things that's ever existed. I'm frustrated.

You can just leave the current app how it is.

They can't force you to delete out of date apps.

The reason why Alpha sucked is because Slott was pretending he was an "Alpha level threat", that being, stronger than people like Phoenix, or Hulk, or Omega-level mutants like Iceman. It was dumb. Luckily he has been dropped and ignored! His on-going wasn't bad.

Those three are the issues though involved with Spider-Man though, yeah.

He was also kind of insufferable.

Apparently his mini was pretty good.

Though it should be mentioned some times they just screw up.

Like for a bit they added the Death of Stacys thing to the collection sale then took it off the next day.




Edit: Also how is Death Of Superman? I know its 90's as gently caress but how is it okay or really bad.

To make things even more confusing, on Amazon, the print version of Saga vol 2 is $11 and the Kindle version is only 6.99

From everything I have seen, collections are kind of an afterthought when it comes to comixology.

In fact, they still don't have basic collections for series that have had them for years.

Like they have Age of Apocalypse volume 1 & 2, but that is it. Clone Saga has the first epic but that is it.

For whatever reason they are focusing more on bundles. Which seem tedious when you could just make an omnibus out of them.

Are you talking about the 2014 series? I'm not reading Captain Marvel but the new Ms Marvel (which I'm reading with no knowledge of Kamala's predecessor) and She Hulk are pretty good, though the art in the new Shulkie series is a mild let down compared to the 04-05/05-09 series which just got it's third volume released on Comixology recently, though there's a fairly obvious gap I'm missing between Volums 2 and 3.

I think that is a mistake. Occasionally they will add newer titles that shouldn't be up yet but trying to download them just results in an error.

Also the AOA sale really highlights how badly they need either the ability to create your own TPB's or to automatically get the TPB's once you have all the issues contained within. :sigh:

Yeah, the old Comixology app had that "story arcs" tab that I don't think ever really did anything. Now that they're owned by Amazon it'll never happen, but they really need some way to personally organize your stuff or, hell, shareable reading lists.

Yeah that would be fine as well.

There've been amazing DC sales in the last year. It's all tied in to current related events for promotion, but when it works out with me getting all of Morrison's Animal Man, 52, Ostrander's Suicide Squad in $0.99 sales, that's cool.

They should bundle though.

e: With the new announcement of Booster/Beetle stuff, there's definitely going to be a JLI sale upcoming.

Yeah they do have good sales, they are just really infringement.

We've just demonstrated a few reasons why they might not offer HD comics at that price point.

Also what you think they'd do it otherwise but they just don't wanna? Accusing a company of laziness is the stupidest possible criticism. Of all the possible reasons why MU might not have something or might not do something it ain't because executives are too lazy to personally upload the files themselves.

Marvel unlimited as a whole is a janky mess, mostly do to laziness. It may be stupid but it is also completely correct.
