1) No "dated" line between Jess Jones and Scott Lang.
2) No Jack of Hearts. Meh, every artist hated drawing his costume anyway.
3) Is Black Knight on there?
KISS KISS BANG BANG is awesome as many people have mentioned, but I also love Black's screenplays because they're very pulpy. I really think that he can tell a fantastic comic-book story.
Well, why would you go to a Target to buy an iTunes download? And yet Target sells iTunes gift cards, and doesn't offer them only around Christmastime, either. Lots of convenience stores do too. Someone is clearly willing to buy music in that way. And given the way that Apple changed the game in a music biz that was scared s--tless by Napster, it's only right that Diamond would want to imitate their model.
Plus, what is Diamond's alternative? If they don't offer a digital-purchase choice to brick-and-mortar retailers, then the natural progression of their business model is the death of the comic book store (maybe not now or anytime soon, but eventually). No one wants to see that, especially Diamond.
That's not to say everything about this is good and/or smart - offering the book + digital for 0.99 extra seems crazy to me - but I think that your first complaint is without merit.
