I recently subscribed to Amazon's Comixology and have enjoyed it so far. For only 6 bucks a month, I get to check out a lot of comics I would have normally never seen or read.

I just hate their search function. It is quite poor. Why can't they just make it easy to search everything available in the subscription? And if you look at something and go back, it never saves your place and takes you right back to the start. Ugh!

Two decent sounding Humbles; pretty sure all of Halo and all of Eerie, Classic and newish

Also, you can use the code SPOOKY to get a 50% discount on Dark Horse Digital. It should be valid throughout October and stack with sale prices.

The ComiXology app is officially dying. From now on comics will be accessed through the Kindle app . I'm sure the brand name itself isn't far behind.

I’m sure this will go as well as the last “Hey, comics are books! Let’s save resources and just shoehorn them into our existing book structure!” move did.

So, I never buy any comics, but I do have the Comixology subscription for 6 bucks a month. Is that going to just merge into a Kindle subscription?

Is there a Kindle sub that is similar and what does it cost?

The email and info sheet they sent me does not discuss this at all.

And if that is the case, I hope the Kindle app's search function is better than the Comixology app. It fucking sucks.

It's amazing how much they just destroyed Comixology. I used to look at the sales all the time, obsessing over them (heck I started this thread), and now it's like I can barely be motivated to go through the library of comics I already have.

davidh777

Yeah, I used to buy multiple sale titles every week. Now I buy once a quarter, which is fine because I have a huge backlog. Most of my comics dollars now go to kickstarter.

I agree that the current CMX app sucks at search. I can’t search for “Thor Epic Collection” to see which ones I’ve purchased. I can only search by series title, and Journey Into Mystery won’t come up in a search for “Thor” but Dejah Thoris and Lex Luthor series will.

Yeah, spent thousands at Comixology before the Amazon takeover, and posted here near daily for years it seems. But the experience to shop/buy is just awful now. I feel like I have to do 30 minutes of careful searching to make sure I don’t already own something in some format/name before purchasing. I’ve basically not spent money there since the change.

I almost wish I never spent a dime on digital comics, and just waited for subscription services and Hoopla.

Still have an un-upgraded Comixology app on this iPad these past couple years, trying to finish offline reading the thousands of books I downloaded to it. If I even briefly comic to the internet with the app open it will brick and cause me to lose all the downloads. I’m jinxing myself now, but super surprised I haven’t accidentally opened it while online, or accidentally upgraded the app.

Yesterday I was looking back at my Amazon orders to see if I had bought all the Hellboy library editions. The Hellboy omnibus's showed up in my order history and I was wondering when I ordered them (and where I put them). Turns out those were comixology orders I had completely forgotten about since I haven't used the service in so long. Just reminded me of how great a site it used to be and how much I spent there.

Why So Blu?

I might be late in posting but Dark Horse Digital had sent out a code (THANKYOU) for 50% off titles. I scored the Cyberpunk 2077 Library Edition Vol 1 for $15 and I even had a $2 store credit somehow, so $13 was my final total.

Thanks! I should see if I can catch up on Usagi Yojimbo stuff.

Marvel Unlimited you can use code CYBER23 to get 20 bucks off the regular annual membership (valid until 12/4):

DC Infinite has a code too but I don't think it's official yet.

I opened the Kindle app, and it’s a giant mess. My collection is just hundreds of titles to scroll through, alphabetized for a while then the alphabet starts over again. Every few dozen lines or so it’ll group some volumes into a series, but with no rhyme or reason. A few years back, there was some kind of ridiculous deal on Scooby-Doo titles. I just scrolled through a hundred of them in this collection list. It’s like the grouping is done by some algorithm that has no idea what it’s doing. I guess Amazon just assumes we always know what we want to read and will just search for it.

On the good side, the reading experience on an iPad seems to be the same. And a book I recently read in the old CMX app is showing as read in the kindle app.

Trevor

Dark Horse Digital is 50% off everything for Cyber Monday, but then add code THANKS for another 50% off, so 75% off total.
