Meh, unless they sync our accounts this is worse. How is this worse ? I'd like the accounts to be synced, but they're different formats, so I don't think it's going to happen. Dark Horse has lots of great stuff, and I'm glad they'll get more exposure and sales this way on Comixology. I'm used to getting comics from both sites, and I'll still support DH on their site. I did pick up some Dynamite today, but they've been on both sites for a while now. Sad to see Bongo leaving Comixology. I highly doubt I'll get any Simpsons comics later because I don't think of them and won't be going to their dedicated website. It's worse because the Comixology discounts will likely never be as good as the normal Dark Horse bundles and sales. It's worse because now it's just one more place where one could accidentally buy something they already own. I can't think of any reason for someone to buy a Dark Horse product on Comixology. I guess some people will say that they'd rather have everything in one place, but that seems as silly as only buying groceries from one aisle at the grocery store because it's easier. |

The Dark Horse app does have guided view. For me, price is always going to be a big factor, so Dark Horse will always win out over Comixology. Another factor is that I imagine Dark Horse's catalog will always be more complete thru their own site. For now at least, they don't even include any single issues at Comixology. Another is that I'd rather Dark Horse and the book creators get more of my money, so I'd probably cut out the Comixology middleman even if there were price or other reasons to buy on Comixology instead. |

Comixology is was selling DH singles
Dark Horse has their version, but not Guided View, which is better.
My son doesn't read some of the DH stuff because he doesn't like how their app works.

   ARCHIE: The Complete Daily Newspaper Comics Volume 1 By Bob Montana 1946-48 Starting with the very first strips from 1946-48, the trials and tribulations of Archie come roaring back to life. His complicated love life, his alluring girlfriends Bettie and Veronica, battles with teachers and bumbling sidekicks are all here, with a naive, innocently flirtatious appeal unique to the post-war decade in which they appeared. "Much of Montana's genius is in his ability as a storyteller. While each strip works well as an individual gag, he was able to create long sequential comedies that could run from weeks to months." "In fact, the entire run of daily strips from the summer of 1947 is devoted to a summer camp storyline that reads like an early draft of the script for the film Meatballs, or any of a dozen camp-themed screwball comedies. He also packed each strip with a lot of funny sight gags." In a 1970 Cartoonist PROfiles interview, Montana said, 'The only way I could think of to compete with all the other great cartoonists would be to try and have as many things going for me in the strip as possible..." "Money, sex, socialization worries, automobiles, generation gaps, homework...all timeless issues that Montana weaved into his strips for nearly 30 years. The Archie/Betty/Veronica love triangle is the archetype for a modern world in which we always want what we can't have." Montana has been inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame and this, for the first time ever, collects these wonderful early strips.

Artist Bob Montana was integral in the creation and popularization of Archie back in the 1940s and 1950s, so he was tapped to perfectly capture the flavor of the long-running comic book stories. All the gang is here at Riverdale High, at dances, dating, driving around jalopies and getting into trouble, girl-trouble and otherwise.

I agree, but it's still only a rumor at this point.
Bought more Uncanny A at this point, and I still think Marvel will get out of it since they have their own Unlimited app.
I still doubt DC is going to do it either.
