September 11, 2009 8:31 am Great news! Big fan of Manapul. Less excited about Geoff JOhns though. I would rather see someone else on this - lets not give everything to the guy (i know why they are but still..come on, theres got to be other writers for the gig)

A shameless plug for my superhero related webcomic regarding the news;

I'll have to add (or reinforce) the amazing warlock and Captain marvel stuff my Jim starlin from the 70's. Im not sure if the Life and death of captain marvel is still in print and there was a series of reprints of Starlins Warlock run a while back.

Starlin + Warlock + Captain Marvel + Thanos.

looking forward to getting this when the hardcover comes out..just want to reinforce that all the other GL trades from thsi run also came out in hardcover first - means nothing really.

I dotn know why i read this site when i only buy in trades! gah..! (too expensive to do issues over here..) 

July 31, 2008 10:10 pm So does anyone know if these things are available to those of us outside the US? last time i checked Watchmen wasnt. Im not a big fan of these things as a rule but i'd like to at least check it out..

Ok, i have a few comments on this.

Piracy. I dont really see how it would increase. You already have copies of practically every single comic out that week online within days of them hitting the shelves. Sure it'd be easier - but people are already comitted to pirating them now  - the end result is still there. 

I own a device called an Iliad - its one of those e-ink devices and while a little smaller sized than a comic (and despite being grayscale) it would be pretty close to perfect. It can read PDF's - if Marvel released pdfs (i hate reading pdfs on the computer though) each week of the titles released for a portion of the price and i could download them straight to my iliad i'd be in heaven!

Over here comics cost around 6$ depending on where you go, (keep in mind the aus dollar is pretty much equal to the US dollar right now) and if i want to get comics at a reasonable price i have to sign up to a mail orer company and wait 2-3 weeks for shipping. Direct download legally would be ideal.  

I actually intended to download the Git-corp dvd collections but they've formatte dthe pdfs as double page spreads which make sit hard to read on my Iliad otherwise..wow..that would have been pure heaven.

G.nort - you only have to pay 4.50$ - most shops ive been to charge ~6$! if you think that  with the direct conversion we're looking at around 3.22$ a comic so what the hell is with the rest. I mean i co-ran a store for a while - i know shippings pricey but c'mon.

Anyway - happy for the Canadians!
