The All About Comics Thread 5: Comic Books Ate My Paycheck

[Ultimate Houde]

I read Chew #1 because it was a free download from Comixology.

It was the most ridiculous plot I think I've ever seen. The main character can see the past of food he's eating.

WAT

There's other food related abilities as well.

 

[ProjectX2]

I was going to write this book!

Dan Didio announced that they're going to package codes for the digital downloads of comics within standard issues.

Finally.

This is very good news.

Hopefully Marvel and others follow.

If Marvel isn't somehow making more money from it they're not gonna do it.

 

[nigma]

it wont be Marvels choice on this, it will be Disney. Disney is probably holding off until they can sync up all of there media onto one easily interchangeable platform.

I just won Amazing Spider-Man #39 on ebay! I'm so excited!

I also won #48, which is pretty cool too!

Man, I love those colors, especially on the first cover.

 

[Captain Canuck]

i know! so gorgeous!

The first time I read these stories was from the essential Spider-Man collections, then later I saw the issues with colour and realized how much I was missing out on!

What did you get them for, if you don't mind me asking? And what kind of condition are they in?

 

[Captain Canuck]

i got ASM 39 for $70 USD + shipping
and ASM 48 for $36 USD + shipping. They're both listed as being "VG" (Very Good) and the pictures look pretty good.

39

48

I've always wanted to own ASM #39. It's one of my favourite covers ever and it's a significant Spider-Man story (Green Goblin figures out Spidey's identity and reveals himself to be Norman Osborn)

48 was just relatively cheap so i bought it.

 

[E]

Nice. They look good.

So did anyone else check out Taskmaster #1 this week? I really liked it, Fred Van Lente has an interesting take on Tasky with the whole memory palaces angle, and all of the old and new evil organizations are great.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

Love it.

I just read it and enjoyed it. The organizations were funny.

 

[Ultimate Houde]

It was a fun ride.

There's going to be a Betty White comic.

 

[Zombipanda]

There's going to be a Betty White comic.

THANK GOD!

It looks like the comic book big-wigs may have finally gotten a clue and started paying attention to what the fans want!

 

[ProjectX2]

Hell yes.
