Art of Matt Eldritch Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Is Comixology any good? I don't have any portable devices but my laptop and I haven't heard much good from the computer app or itunes version so I don't know if I should use it or not. I would like to get it to read some comics I can't get at my local comic bookstore and it would save up space on my bookshelf. Link to post Share on other sites
TellTale Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I actually really liked Comixology. However, you have to be very careful not to lose access to your account or you will never get to see your purchased content again! Some of the reading tools are fun though. Like the one tool that displays it by panel and not the entire page. I would suggest starting an account online (which should be free) and buying a cheap comic just to test it out.

HobbesX Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It's a pretty neat idea. The only caveat is that the books are pretty much the same price. :/ Which is fine if you dont want all the long boxes but not the best if you go to cons to get your books signed and things like that. Give it a try though! Theres quite a few free comics available from the site (older ones i believe) Link to post Share on other sites
willnightshade Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 The only caveat is that the books are pretty much the same price. :/ Yup. That's the most annoying part. Ever since Amazon bought them, they've also started charging taxes. On the positive side, there are some DRM free comics that you can download and read offline, mostly indie stuff (not Marvel or DC). This is fine since indie stuff tends to better than the big two. Link to post Share on other sites

Also, I heard of a thing called "Comicsplus", what's that about? Link to post Share on other sites
