    I am a huge fan of digital comics and use all the tools that you spoke about in this video. It’s so good to see a content creator giving props to digital comics rather than bashing it like many do. Digital and print comics can go hand in hand…

    Thank you for making this video. I’ve been wanting to get into comics but don’t have the money yet to splurge on physical issues. One day I’ll get there after I finish university. In the meantime, I’ll stick to digital. Again, thank you! I’ll be saving this video to my favorites to watch later again.

    I'm a big fan of Comixology Unlimited. It's helped me a lot in building my physical collection, because I got to read the first couple of trades of a longer series, and figure out whether I want to invest in an omnibus or deluxe hardcovers, or if I'm just happy with the trades/not buying. I also like using it to read one-and-done, miniseries and more obscure books that are either less known, or less talked about, and which I wouldn't normally blind buy in physical format.

    I do not have very good vision. I currently use my phone and use the zoom in option while holding it very close to my face. Do you have any videos that show how the comics appear in the iPad itself? I'm thinking about getting an iPad in order to have larger text/read easier. Thank you!

    I have always said I'm a comic reader, not collector, so I love the digital apps. I have a nice library on Comixology & on my Kindle App. I have Marvel Unlimited, but I really don't use it, which is one reason why I don't have the DC app. Once I start using the Marvel app, I will add the DC infinite.
    I am a physical media guy. I have been buying more trades and hardcovers, but when I'm on the subway I can read a book on the subway on my tablet which I like.

    Yo BJ. Honorable mention to SHONEN JUMP VAULT App (only $1.99 a month) too since as much as I want every manga enthusiast to also explore western comics.
    The value itself is too generous and assuming you may get into Manga in the future along with anyone else who didnt know SJV is a thing. Heres to many more years of Comics Reading.

    • @comicsaredope
      @comicsaredope  Рік тому

      Most of these services are subscriptions, so you're technically not buying anything. Just paying for access. So if the servers go down, so does your access. The exception to this is Comixology. There's actually an option to download a pdf version of all your Comixology purchases in Amazon.

      I think you’re talking about Guided View. Pretty much every app I covered (besides Scribe) has this function. You just double tap the panel and it shows up full screen. Super helpful for avoiding spoilers and immersing you even more.

Probably won't sub, I used to sub to lots of comic channels but like many genres theres so many and I eventually just moved down to ComicPop but this video was very helpful. Weird that I grew up with marvel but tend to read DC now. I just don't know if Marvel Unlimited is worth it. (Not gonna lie dude loving my comment got me to hit the sub button 😆 hope it helps with algorithm. Peace)

      It really just depends on what publishers you like. Technically, ComiXology unlimited is the most diverse and probably the best choice if you can only pick one. If you’re a DC fan, DC Infinite is a no brainer. Same for Marvel.

    I just read the spawn comic I bought. Then I saw that there was a free preview on comixology. What a waste of money. I think I'm going to read more digital comics. They even have free previews . Like 6 free pages. And I don't have more stuff as a result of reading comics. Maybe that's the future since streaming and digital books are doing well. That would open up possibilities for indie creators since they could create in colour as much as they want without having the print or shipping costs. They wouldn't even need to put the books in stores. They'd all be on the same platform alongside the big 3

    You are really a lucky person, as you probably live in the USA or UK.
    I live in Germany and have used COMIXOLIGY for a long time and enthusiastically.
    But for comic lovers living in Germany, the lousy AMAZON ruined COMIXOLOGY some time ago!!!
    I am extremely pissed off.
