Well, if I was limited to two that month it just might be the same.

Wow, so many great books around this timeframe. Zot, Mage, Flaming Carrot, Rocketeer....
I own at least 48 of them, most bought that month from Westfield.

Having holes in runs causes a great disturbance in my inner force. My biggest problem is that I pretty much want to own everything. So my compromise has been to convince myself that I'd rather have 200 fifty cent bin comics than one $100 key; and I use trades and digital to fill in those expensive holes. I think I've only spent over $50 for a book a dozen or so times in my life, probably for those JLA B&Bs, elusive Flaming Carrots, and a few hardcovers. I don't have the urge to own everything, and don't mind holes in my collection but there are times when I find that issues I do want are crazy expensive and so I too use digital. It makes sense to me, I buy to read so as long as I get the story I don't particularly care what format it's in. Yep, buying to read is the only option to me. Offer me an Action #1 in mint or in fair, and I'd take the fair copy. As I'd never sell either, and I'd be too scared to open and read the mint copy.

Yeah, Marvel has been doing it with most singles and many trades for years; and DC has combo packs too, although they may be phasing them out (perhaps because of this?).

There are so many possible ways they could do this that its almost pointless talking about it until we get concrete facts.
About the only concrete thing we have to base speculation on is Marvel's service. And correct me if I'm wrong, but there they grant you unlimited reading access to everything that they've digitized so far? After the six month waiting period right? Nothing on Comixology is not in MU? But lots of stuff makes it to MU first, right?

If Amazon bundled a free comixology subscription in with Prime membership, that might finally be the tipping point necessary to get me into digital comics. Hell could very well freeze over... I'm sure that won't happen (giving the full Comixology Unlimited to all Prime members), but how about something small to try to get people hooked? Give all 50 gazillion Prime members a Comixology Unlimited Lite account for free. Something like 5 free books a month, or one title with access to that title's entire backlog. This might create some new fans, or get fans not sold on digital to climb aboard the full subscription plan.

As a lifelong collector it's hard for me to get behind a rental model. I've ignored Marvel Unlimited even when they had a free three month offer. But as I consider how much I spend, and how big my backlog is, I admit I'd be tempted to go "all-in" on these reading plans if it included DC. I'd probably even do a $30 a month plan where it was $10 for DC, $10 for Marvel, and $10 for everything else in a package deal. Wow, No way I'm paying 30 a month. I expect it to be competitive with MU and Netflix and Spotify. They are around 10 a month. I would like it just to read some DC but I doubt Dc would make available much of their archives. I hope you're right; but do you really think they'll quadruple the content and not at least triple the price?

I'm not sure how I feel about this rumored Comixology Unlimited.
