Anyone else using Comixology app on Kindle Fire? For the past week it has been crashing and not loading books. Luckily I have an iPad as well and it seems to be working well on that.

I don't use a Kindle Fire, but Comixology has been useless for me ever since they did the update to allow SD cards a couple of weeks ago. Every time I try to download a book, it tells me that my download location isn't configured (or something like that). The problem is, my settings are missing the "download location" tab, so I can't configure it. I'm using a rooted Nook HD+ running KitKat. The SD card functionality is supposed to work with KitKat and up, so I just assumed my problem was due to using a hacked OS, but maybe the problem is more widespread.

Are you able to download new books?

I don't frequent this thread, but thought it might be worth sharing here. Regal theaters had a promotion for digital comics for those seeing the new Thor film.

While the 2 comics from the Regal site can be redeemed using the generic code above, the one from the Marvel site is a unique code. I have 2 of them from when I went to see the movie last week. I'm happy to pass them along if anyone is interested. Just let me know.

There’s a new Top Cow Humble Bundle:

The new Comixology site layout is not my favorite. The new release section really only caters to the larger publishers and they took away the Recently Added section which listed what was added to Comixology that week but was not a new release.

Undeadcow

Agreed. They don't feature sales on the homepage any more either; fortunately the [android] app retains a lot of the most up to date banners and convenient features.

DC's 'March to Black Friday' sale seems to have some of their best prices in a while.

It seems like some of the most steeply discounted titles are the 'Legends of the Dark Knight' / 'Tales of the Batman' creator themed collections.

The 88% off Comixology is using in marketing seems to be on Swamp Thing By Scott Snyder: Deluxe Edition, a Fables cover art collection, and Boy Commandos v2.

Yeah, after loading up on Marvel all year, I'm probably going to grab a bunch of stuff in this sale. And yeah, the stuff in the $25-35 range has nice discounts to $4.99 (including Superboy and the Legion of Superheroes vol. 1, which I own in singles but am still tempted).

Annoyingly, Amazon has reduced its prices but only to $7.76 in the examples I checked.

I sure hope they aren't basing their advertised discount on two titles. I think there are rules against that.

Undeadcow

I wonder what they mean by "March to Black Friday," I remember DC having a Cyber Monday sale/coupon in past years - that makes me wonder if this sale is as good as it gets on these trades or if there will end up being some better deals. Although it is hard to imagine they can beat some of these prices.

davidh777

That's always the risk, but my guess is "March" means they're starting a few days early, as these prices only last through Friday. It's very possible that there will be Cyber Monday deals, but my guess is that they won't be as good. That's how CM usually goes.

In their recent email, Comixology's Dynamite linewide* 50% off sale with code DE50 at cart page. Ends 11/30/17 11:59pm EST.


*excludes titles released after 10/25

davidh777

There are a number of collections on sale that it should stack with as well. I just need to avoid stuff I've already bought via Humble Bundle/Groupees.

BGPu

The Amazon/Kindle end of this sale seems to be a 50% cut off of everything. It's a worse deal on collections, but if you want single issues they're half off.

Trevor

Crap. Code readcomics gives another 15% off all (at least) DC books. Unsure if multiple use.

Undeadcow

This DC sale is pretty wild; I'm finding myself bypassing my wishlist and just looking for 300+ page books with higher initial prices that look promising.

Crap, Trevor just posted a code... this sucks (for my wallet), I mean thank you!

Trevor

One time use only on the code, works on carts of 100 items maybe more, not that I would know Jen.....

fujishig

Geez what a mess, though. For instance, they collected a Supergirl series twice, so they have several overlapping volume 1s and 2s with almost identical pricepoints and no way to tell them apart. I realize comics are no longer for casual fans, but if you did point a casual fan to this sale, how would they find anything?

Since I'm not a casual fan, and I haven't bought anything DC in over a year, I have something like 50 items in my cart (actually I just checked and I have exactly 52!). No way I need this many comics when I haven't even made a dent in my last couple of Marvel orders.

majorjoe23

I can’t recommend the Graphic Ink Darwyne Cooke collection enough, especially for $4.24.

davidh777

Just spent too much in the DC sale.

That coupon was a killer because it forced me to do all my shopping in one shot. I probably spent more in the two Amazon Marvel sales, but that was one item at a time. But it saved me a ton, and because it was Trevor's fault, I used the savings to get the Moore Saga of Swamp Thing run that he always talks about.

Rather than buy everything, I focused on:

-Completing runs that I'd already partially bought (e.g., Justice League International)
-Complete runs of stuff that I've been thinking about getting for a while (New Teen Titans)
-Books I love that I want a digital version of (Aparo Brave and the Bold)
-Books I like and will dump the physical version of (various Legion incarnations)
-Golden and Silver Age archives
-Insane bargains (Tales/Legends of the Dark Knight)

So I'm shellshocked but pleased. I also added a few non-DC sale titles to take advantage of the coupon.

fujishig

Nononono not a Marvel sale too. Omg.

Undeadcow

Nice try, DC, but I just bought an embarassment of $4.24 oversized trades so your 'buy one get one free' code doesnt even phase me (more than a little). This will not be the sale where I cave in to Countdown to Final Crisis, no it won't... nope.

fujishig

So how did you like Countdown to Final Crisis after you caved? To me it was really, really bad, I mean it directly contradicts stuff that happens in Final Crisis and Death of the New Gods.

Undeadcow

I havent given in and bought Countdown (yet); eventually I'd like to give it a read through but with it's reputation probably will stay on the backburner.

I do wish DC would lower it's New 52 era single issue to $1.99 so I could complete a few of those series.
