Which you can't use on Comixology... or rather, only on the Marvel app? Do they still allow it on the DC one?

As far as I know, all the individual publisher apps that are powered by Comixology still have in app purchases. So Marvel, DC, Image, Boom & IDW.

I'm pretty sure in-app purchasing still works with those four; and maybe Dark Horse too?

Holy crap on this Batman sale. Hopefully everyone has a spare $700 or so laying around.

There's also a Robert Kirkman Humble Bundle going. You can pay what you wish to get a bunch of stuff, but if you pay $15 or more you get more.

All together there's the first six volumes of the Walking Dead, some invincible, Super Dinosaur, Witch Doctor (not written by Kirkman, but it's awesome) and a lot more. Plus, more books get added later, but if you pay now they'll be added to your order.

It's a shame that it repeats much of the last Image bundle, but I beat the average just for the one or two new-to-me books and the charity.

Ok, three new sales at Comixology, including the mother of all Batman sales.

From Image, lasting until 7/28/14, the SDCC sale, on their best selling.
15 collections at up to 53% off
a 92 issue bundle for $74.99
those 92 issues separately at $.99 each
these are all great books imho, already own most of them from past sales, but will pick up the recent additions

https://www.comixology.com/Image-Bes...Sale/page/2688

From IDW, thru 7/28/14, a Cartton Network sale.

9 collections and 29 singles for the usual discounts
one new freebie, Powerpuff Girls #1

https://www.comixology.com/Cartoon-N...Sale/page/2631

From DC, again thru 7/28/14, looks like pretty much every Batman comic that they have on Comixology, exactly 750 books. Holy empty wallet Batman!

Well, I dropped $45 on the Batman sale.

...There's a lot more I want to get, I'm not sure I can part with much more cash this month.

Inhuman #1 free on Marvel.com with the promo code BLACKBOLT

Just go to Marvel.com, add the issue to your cart, and put the code in at check out. If your Marvel account is tied to your Comixology account, it will appear in both of your libraries.

I usually use my credit card on Comixology and cut out Apple, but for this Batman splurge I'll be using the iTunes gift cards for the extra 15% off.

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

Okay, free Black Widow #1 (2014) from Marvel.com with the code WIDOW

Same instructions as with the Inhuman #1 offer in my last post.


EDIT:
And apparently I missed one earlier in the day. Uncanny Avengers #1 free at marvel.com with the code UNITY

Edit²:
And another one! Guardians of the Galaxy #1 (2008) at marvel.com with the code DNA


I should note that all these Marvel codes are good until 7/24/2014 @ 10:59 PM EST

A bunch of Kindle versions of Batman books are $2.99 today on Amazon for Batman day. Including Black Mirror, which I just bought the other day for $9.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/browse.html...ode=9661633011

I wonder if they would adjust my price? Probably not.

I was just popping in to post this, thanks. Some Dark Horse books on sale too, part of the Kindle Daily Deal.

I think Hush and Long Halloween are $2.99 too.

Also, via Starbucks, Court of Owls is free today (only?).

Make sure you're in the digital store and not just marvel.com.

Thanks, I'll try that. I did find out that you can get a Refund on Kindle books withing seven days, so I returned Black Mirror and bought it again for $2.99.

Yeah, with the 2.99 sale you can basically get the first seven issues of Batman for 3 bucks (as long as you don't mind not having the single issues when you browse your comixology catalog).

So is new 52 Batman and Detective worth buying?

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

Happy Batman Anniversary Day everyone. Today only, Amazon and Comixology both have ten different Batman collections on sale for $2.99 each.
https://www.comixology.com/Essential...-off/list/3042

Not sure if just today only or not, but a special edition of Detective Comics #27 is free on Comixology.
https://www.comixology.com/Detective...l-comic/125880

Until 7/27, Comixology has a San Diego Comic Con special bundle of 100 of their independent books for $9.99.
https://www.comixology.com/SDCC-Submit-Bundle/page/2796

As always, there are several different foreign book sales going on at Comixology, check their main sale page for frequent changes. Here is a link to the huge Viz sale, $2 off everything.
https://www.comixology.com/Viz-Summer-Sale/page/2760

On Amazon only for now, Batman Eternal #1 is free. Seems like the sort of thing that iTunes will match. Lasts until 8/3/14.

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

Big cons equal big sales and lots of freebies I guess.

A Humble Bundle sale on Transformers comics. $15 tier works out to 13 cents an issue, and they always add at least a handful of bonus books.

https://www.humblebundle.com/books

Dark Horse has posted a "not San Diego Comic Con sale".
65 books for $.99 each, a lot of the movie and video game related books
