It literally gives no info on the code. All it says is "Use Code DHD3YR at checkout to get an additional 10% off!" Nothing about if it's one use per account or anything like that.

I'm afraid I'm going to spend too much. I just got into the digital comic thing, and I have a lot of comics I could pick up and ditch my physical copies (like Buffy) :lol:

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Thanks again! I actually just now got the same code/email.

I hit ~$280 being very conservative in their bundle list. If I knew the code only worked once I'd at least double that total.....

And yes, I'll have a bunch of Dark Horse trades and floppies to sell/trade after this sale.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Are the bundles only available via the website, or is there some link I'm missing on the ipad app?

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Web only I'm pretty sure. I hear they're getting slammed; I'm having some checkout errors.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I am curious about this too. I fired off a tweet to their rep on twitter asking about it. Of course, reps are sometimes wrong, but I will report back when they reply.

Edit: They replied back already and said it is multiple use.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I think I'm going to grab a bunch of The Goon and probably Usagi Yojimbo.

Is there a bundle of Brian Woods' Star Wars stuff? There's so much Star Wars stuff to sift through that I might have missed it.

EDIT: Nevermind, found the Star Wars bundles.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

What happens when they lose the SW license and the ability to publish books under that license? I know they would stop selling digital copies, but would you still be able to download the copies you already bought?

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Awesome, thanks!
I'm grabbing a bit of Usagi, and then more if I like it as much as I remember.

I'm scared to start of the Star Wars books. The OCD collector in me will want them all.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I guess one never knows for sure, long term at least, but I've read that they've said purchases will always be available to re-download and read, just not for sale.

In the past, on Comixology at least, titles that have been pulled from the store are still in your purchase history and available.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Ugh. Why am I looking at some of the cheap Dark Horse manga bundles that I own the physical books for? Oh right, shelf space. Digital is both a blessing and a curse sometimes.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I kinda wish DH still had the license for all the Masamune Shirow stuff...

edited to add: oh, they do have appleseed...

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Well, bought all of the current Buffyverse stuff (Season 8, 9, Angel & Faith, the Spike Mini & the One Shots) and the Mass Effect comics.

Now I noticed the bundle that has all the early (1998-2002) Buffy comics. Dammit.

Edit: And I haven't even looked at the Star Wars, Alien or Terminator comics yet. :lol:

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

You all know how great Concrete and Nexus are, right?

So much other great stuff too....

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

New sale on Comixology on The Darkness, ends 4/28/14.

116 singles at 99 cents, or a bundle (web only) for $70, or 15 collections for up to 71% off.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I got three volumes of Concrete, almost all of The Goon (I already had two volumes) and books 9-15 of Usagi Yojimbo for $68.85.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I refuse to say how much I spent, but I now own almost all of Concrete, Hellboy, BRPD, Aliens, Predator, and several more.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Comixology is retiring their app and launching a new one that is read only. This forces all purchases through their site and prevents Apple from skimming a 30% cut off every comic sold.

They have also credited a $5 gift card onto all accounts for the inconvenience.

^ I could be underthinking, but I don't see any problems with this.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I don't either, but the internet outrage machine is already revving up. -rolleyes-

Good for them :up:

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I'm slightly nervous, because I'm still in an iPad 1 and most new apps require iOS 6, which you can't get on iPad 1. Anyone know if this is the case? Because it would suck not to be able to read on my iPad anymore.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

I just checked, the new app requires iOS 5.1 or newer.

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Awesome, thanks!

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

The only potential problem I could see is less cheaper bundles to entice web purchases since now all purchases will be web. I don't have a problem with it but I did just purchase $200 in new iTunes cards this week that I mostly use on comixology. Whoops!

Re: Digital Comic Book Discussion and Deals (Comixology, etc)
 

Another big problem, possibly, for Amazon, is that the impulse purchase is now harder. If one pretty much must read the comics in the new disabled app (browser reading sucks iirc), but then can't buy the next issue or anything else without jumping though hoops, Amazon is going to lose a lot of money.

Of course, they could lower all comic prices by 30% (the money they are cutting Apple out of; the only real reason for this change) and gain some of that lost traffic back and possibly increase business; but I guess the publishers won't allow the price competition.

Personally, I learned to make all my purchases in the web anyways, for four reasons.

1. avoiding Apple censorship (missing titles)
2. web only lower priced bundles
3. don't want the automatic downloads of everything
4. more money goes to comic creators
