Sorry if I'm posting in the wrong place -- I don't see a "General Comic Stuff" forum.

My question is this: Is it possible to purchase comics for my eBook reader and still support my local comic book store, without buying stuff twice?

Background: I'm not much of a comic book fan, but I attended Free Comic Book Day because my friend owns a comic store nearby. I bought (and liked!) some stuff, and now would like to buy more. But I'd much prefer electronic versions over physical books.

Is it possible to support the store by buying e-comics? (They don't have an Amazon affiliate link on their website.) Am I stuck collecting even more physical objects that I only want for a short time?

Thanks! ]]> Comics Should Be Good xmichaelx http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?413082-How-to-support-my-local-B-amp-M-shop-(while-reading-electronically) X-FACTOR #236 Review Club http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?413081-X-FACTOR-236-Review-Club&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 19:20:37 GMT The surviving X-thing group try to be brave but only one of them proves to have any fortitude.

I liked that Heph, Hermes, Eros, Lennox and Zola sound like us arguing about last issue.

I LOVE what Heph whispers to Zola: "Don't worry about Wonder Woman. She doesn't need saving." Again, I almost think he's telling that to us. It seems pretty clear that Heph has a plan; he jokes (I hope!) that he doesn't know what he was thinking when he gave WW the guns. I think Eros may be the companion who is not to be trusted, and the hints at Hermes may have been misdirection.

What Heph says to Zola about Hermes (just before the "don't worry" comment) is also interesting, though" "And you, girl, are very lucky to have a champion so steadfast, even though it pains him to be.") Pains him because it's not his nature to be steadfast, or because he wishes he could go rescue Wonder Woman? Both? Azz is doing a good job of making this ambiguous (azzbiguous?). And yes, i see that as a good thing--though it's the kind of thing that makes it hard to wait for the next issue.

So, if she doesn't need saving, what is this "gift" that Heph and company are delivering to Hades? Something that will stop Hades from being able to bring Zola back?

Hades to Wonder Woman: "Is your will that strong?" Um, yeah. Yes, I believe that it is.

Maybe Heph's comments about the lasso a couple of issues ago will be the key to her surviving Strife's little scheme. Wonder Woman won't be "intimidated," and perhaps her will is so strong that she can resist her own lasso.

Or maybe Wonder Woman's mortal form will be destroyed and her godly self will be unleashed--which might be too bad for Hades, and might be part of Strife's plan.

The scenes with Persephone reminded me of Marston's Wonder Woman 2--Wonder Woman's first visit to a hell (Mars' prison of souls). Diana is given Lord Conquest's ex-wife as her slave-girl attendant; Diana would free her, but the girl won't leave. (As Diana tells Steve, "The silly thing went back to her husband. She said Lord Conquest would be interested in conquering her again because she had escaped.) I think Azz reads some of the old issues closer than people think. And I hope Azz's Wonder Woman will have better luck and will spring Persephone out of hell. Maybe she'll become a regular part of the supporting cast. ]]> Wonder Woman slvn http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?413073-Wonder-Woman-9-(SPOILERS) <![CDATA[REVIEW: "Saga" #3]]> http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?413072-REVIEW-quot-Saga-quot-3&goto=newpost Wed, 16 May 2012 18:28:05 GMT Doug Zawisza gives "Saga" #3 4.5 stars calling the issue by Brian K.

This issue is the origin story of one of the alternate Reeds from the Council. This particular Reed Richards grew up in a world where the Nazis won World War II, and he launches into space with the ultraviolent Sturm siblings and the conscripted-from-a-concentration-camp Ben Grimm on behalf of Hitler's government. He uses the mutated Thing to kill Hitler (and the Sturms) and take power for himself. He even finds the Infinity Gauntlet. That proves to be his undoing, however, as he accidentally destroys the planet. He drifts in space for a while, until he finds the Bridge and crosses over into the Council's pocket universe.

Oh, and at one point he steals Doom's brain and surgically implants it in his own head.

Overall . . . it's a good issue, in a "What If" kind of way. I don't know if it accomplishes much beyond adding some background to a minor character (who I want to say is dead? anyone want to refresh my memory there?), but it's pretty well done overall. Choi does a nice job, with some fun little touches like the swastika that gets partially defaced into a four and the gradually fading scar from Doktor Richards' scalp. His alternate Thing design isn't bad, either, although his Johnny and Sue don't really make an impression. ]]> Marvel Comics Expletive Deleted http://forums.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?413068-Fantastic-Four-605-1-*spoilers*
