It should be noted that you are buying in the Mags in UK currency and the prices in US funds are usually double. I have to wonder if Rebellion will fix this for us North Am-ers.

they probably will since i doubt any extra you are paying for print copies will be going in Rebellions pockets anyway. most likely its distributing and shipping cost which is the difference.

Just went and check it out. |You are looking at 8 bucks USD for 2000Ad and the Judge Dredd Megazine. Not too bad, considering you are getting about 200 pgs of material.

And I was just thinking the other day that I should see how much a print subscription to America would be. This is a guaranteed sale for me. I will be subscribing to both.

I was an early adopter of 2000 AD digital back in 2008. Now, I'm a big proponent of Digital, if I had an iPad I'd be buying a larger percentage of my comics digital. But the key word there is 'if I had an iPad'. When I early adopted 2000 AD digital I was hugely disappointed with the experience. Reading PDFs on a computer screen simply wasn't the experience I was looking for. And the experience may have directly contributed to my not reading 2000 AD between 2009 and 2010. But earlier this year I bought $200 worth of back Progs from Rebellion to fill in the gap (not to mention had been reading print progs again since the start of 2011). Something about 2000 AD makes me want to read it in print, which is honestly unique to the title. But, and this is a big but, I simply do not have the mobility option of a Pad yet. When I finally get my act together to buy one, my opinion might change.

What I'm saying here is, 2000 AD is worth reading and being passionate about in any form.

And they've gone same-day digital today! I assume it's just a one-off given the big promotional push for prog 1781, but nonetheless, today's prog is already available in the 2000ad shop and on Clickwheel, still cheaper than the paper copy and DRM-free. Colour me impressed.
