Marvel Digital Comics Discussion

[FriendRoss]

oh there is definitely a difference between whats available on the web browser and the apps


why? i have no clue

I have a feeling it's Comixology not having their ducks in a row. I've noticed hiccups in their system maybe 6 times in the last 4 months, and I buy from them every Wednesday.

something weird happened. i don't know how many times i have been told by comixology that marvel books bought on their site don't synch back to the marvel app... however, i just purchased the captain america 1-50 run on the comixology website, and i opened my marvel app and they were there! i sent an email to comixology asking if they were able to sync all of my marvel books back to the marvel app... we shall see!

Has anyone seen new Ennis FURY book available digitally?

[FriendRoss]

[Global Honored]

Drat!
Thanks though FR. I was hoping to grab it over lunch. Oh well, will have to make a trip to the LCBS this week. It's gonna be a madhouse on Saturday over there.

I noticed this morning that the Spider-Island issues of ASM have dropped from 3.99 to 1.99. Does this mean that Marvel's day and date digital stuff does eventually price drop--and 50% at that?!

I could be wrong, but I don't think the MAX comics are available on a digital platform. I know they're not getting the digital codes, and I haven't seen any of them on the app or digital store either.

They started that back in mid March, and so far it seems to be a pick and choose kind of thing. It's usually about 20 comics every week, not necessarily all from the release date or month. But so far it's not a limited time thing either, i.e. the first books that dropped in price are still at $1.99 now.

Also, the price drop isn't 50%, it's a drop to $1.99 regardless of being $2.99, $3.99 or even $4.99 (e.g. Fear Itself #7 was listed with a $4.99 cover price and is now $1.99).

Yes, a lot of back issues drop to that price. It seems to be kind of randomly selected right now as far as which and when though. The uncanny x-force books are available at that price until the most recent arc I believe. And of course Marvel has weekly sales too for 99 cents and/or 50% off for titles.

[FriendRoss]

there have been several lines of books that go 1.99..


seems like they will group togather a few different books into a semi related colection (like sider island) and drop the price on them all to 1.99 and call it the marvel mania sale.

right now cap 1-5 of this new volume, fear itself 1-7.3 are at 1.99


they definitely started doing that very quietly

[David Walton]

Thanks for the info, guys.

I hate the idea of a comic staying cover price on comixology for all eternity, so it's nice to see the drop, even if there's not a consistent policy.

I have been living under a rock for the past few years and am just catching up with the world of comics again. I was just wondering if any knew whether Marvel had any plans to release Alpha Flight as a digital? Particularly the 2011-12 run, but anything earlier would be great too....

The only AF digital comics I've seen are at Marvel.com.

Thanks for that, when I ran a search on their digital comics it came back with nothing but AF guest spots. Hopefully they'll digitize the 2011-12 run, if not I may just get them on trade....

And like the Trudeau quote btw ;)
