    Maybe I'm lost but I don't see the benefit in buying Volume 1 and then a completely unrelated Volume 20 comic book.

  • aimon on 30/04/2014 - 08:29

    Saga is a brilliant book. Highly recommend picking this up.

    I think there should be no beat the average and at the most the whole lot for $1 as it's just a marketing gimmick to get people to sample before they commit to the series

    Next they will be having a humble TV show series and only offering episode 1of the series, pay a bomb and get episodes 1 and 20 of another

      Its more like they offered all of season one, and then people still have the nerve to complain that its a gimmick to get them to by season 2.

      if you place so little value on the comic industry, then this thread is probably not for you.

        Walking Dead is regularly on sale on Comixology too. So if you liked Vol 1 then you can buy the others fairly cheaply.

        Or if you've been following the TV show, it's up to around issue 55 or so (give or take I don't have my books on me).

    $15 dollar tier again!?! sigh….

    I wouldn't bother with Walking Dead. Good series but not for Vols 1 and 20. Buy the Compendiums for about $45 delivered (48 issues).

    Saga, Revival and Chew are fabulous though. Well worth the price just for that.

    Good deal, just wish it came with Comixology codes

    • SirFlibbled on 30/04/2014 - 09:51

      Same.. while I'm a fan of DRM free, I like Comixology and would prefer to just access them via the cloud.

      • DarKBlooD on 30/04/2014 - 10:09

        Comixology used to be good before the recent change forcing to buy via the website & also the 30% price increase.

        • SirFlibbled on 30/04/2014 - 10:18

          So buy off the website. I used to buy via the app with discounted cards. But for a while now it's just been easier to buy off the website as the app interface was balls. On iTunes any purchase over $3 was charged significantly higher anyhow. The 30% price increase is irrelevant as it was an Apple thing and as you can't buy via the app anyhow.

        • SuperMatty on 30/04/2014 - 10:20

          Yeah I guess I can see it from their point of view (the 30% tax on payments made thru iTunes / Google Play stores is pretty high), but it's annoying for me that I cannot buy through Google Play any more. Definitely means I will probably spend less money there overall.

        • SirFlibbled on 30/04/2014 - 10:25

          I only buy in sales. Monday/Friday Marvel sales can be awesome. 99c issues.

          I also buy Marvel codes from people on forums for $1 an issue and redeem them and read them on Comixology.

        • SuperMatty on 30/04/2014 - 11:03

          @SirFlibbled the good thing about buying thru Google Play for me was that I could bill straight to my phone, which has extra credit available every month anyway. So it was kinda 'free'-ish.

          Sweet deal while it lasted, and kinda tough proposition to go from free-ish to not-so-free-ish.

        • DarKBlooD on 30/04/2014 - 13:40

          Why should i have to buy from the website when the app was perfectly fine?

          It's a backwoods step for the customer experience.

        • SuperMatty on 30/04/2014 - 13:48

          @DarKBlooD I expect from the point of view of Comixology, "Why should I have to take a 30% hit on sales through iTunes and Google Play, when I can sell direct and keep all the money?"

          Yes you're right in that it cuts down the options for the customer (which I'm disappointed about) but I can see it from their end. 30% is a pretty big cut to just give away to Apple/Google. Comixology obviously think their ecosystem is now strong enough not to have to rely on the big guys.

          Can only hope that if enough big-traffic apps pull this kind of move, Apple and Google might consider cutting them better percentages to return to in-app purchases.

        • SirFlibbled on 30/04/2014 - 14:34

          @Supermatty, the way Comixology worked was the people taking the hit was the creators. One indie publisher mentioned on the Bleeding Cool forums that he received 4 times more books bought through the website then he did through the app.

        • SuperMatty on 30/04/2014 - 15:08

          @SirFlibbled ah ok I didn't realise that. Either way, I can see why they changed the situation. Hoping that the big app stores will consider lowering their percentages for selected apps, but I'm not holding my breath on that one.

    • Mik on 30/04/2014 - 18:47

      Me too, but at least i can read cbz on my Windows Phone :P

      • Forfiet on 02/05/2014 - 06:16

        me also on my android :)

        • [Deactivated] on 02/05/2014 - 08:24

          I use PV (Perfect Viewer) for Android. Best CBZ/CBR reader out there.
