A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.

Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.

There is only one rule:*

Comic Books is a no judgement zone.

You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.

If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.

* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(

I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

I live in rural NM, and getting physical comics is a trek. I used to use Comixology, but missed physical books so much I opened a comic and game shop in my small town. The comic side of things failed, my game sales were financing the comics. So after just over a year i cancelled my comic account to focus on the games.

Since then Amazon took over comixology and moved shopping for comics onto Amazon, which after three days of trying to find titles I have decided to explore other avenues.

I know when I was selling comic books marvel had their own app, do all of the publishers have those? Or is Amazon the only name in the game?

I am looking to catch up on Dynamite’s Red Sonya, Marvel’s Conan, Elfquest, anything X-Force, X-23, and probably Firefly. I have not read a comic since my last order came into the shop in January 2020. The news of the new X-23 series is what started to pull me back in again, I did manage to get a subscription to that on Amazon.

It's not strictly speaking legal, but there's an app called Mihon for Android that can scrape "read free online" sites and serve them to you in a neat little UI that lets you make categories and such. It's mostly focused on manga, but it has extensions for western comicbooks as well. I'm currently using it to read through the og Ultimate Spider-Man and Hellboy at the moment.
