June 23, 2009 4:55 pm i'm with conor on this...  i'd be fine going to $2.  that's still 2 for 1 - and i still get the advantage of having thousands of comics on a hard drive versus a multitude of longboxes in a closet that keeps growing and growing.
June 23, 2009 11:36 am @jamie  thanks for the response!  i'm so excited for this to be reality...

the $.99 pricing is cool - but it would also be cool to offer some sort of subscription option, so that come wednesday, i have all the new books i subscribe to sitting on my hard drive waiting for me.  like, a yearly fee, or something.  similar to the way itunes handles a tv season versus a single episode.  which could potentially open up the possibilities of offering a bit of added savings if you subscribe to a book for a year - i.e. $.99 for a single issue or $11 for a year (which works out to $.91-.92 per issue)  the possibilities/opportunities are endless!

someone earlier mentioned the app comicbooklover allowing you to turn a laptop sideways and having the image rotate to fill the screen - in essence you're holding it like a book, with screen in left hand and keyboard in right.  i remember the time i first witnessed a page rotated that way - i suddenly saw a medium/product i had been in love with nearly all of my life in a whole new way - like the first time i saw star wars or ghostbusters in widescreen.  it was just amazingly beautiful.  the issue was shit - but it sure looked pretty!  :)

June 22, 2009 11:37 am this can't become a reality soon enough, in my opinion.  i want it now!!

June 11, 2009 11:11 am i thought this was a fantastic book.  i don't get all the hating going on.  i thought winick did a great job and really enjoyed benes' work.  can't wait for the next issue!  this is my pick of the week and favorite "new" batbook so far...
June 11, 2009 11:05 am conor, great pick!  mine was batman, but this was definitely a close second!  it's such an exciting time to be a bat-fan!!!
