For any CAGs here that buys stuff digitally off Amazon...how often do they have sales on their digital selections and what kind of prices/discounts are we usually looking at? Interested in getting Punisher MAX volumes on there ($12ish at the moment) and am curious what kind of pricing they have them at when on sale. I apparently missed the last one they did on a bunch of Marvel stuff a few months ago and am wondering if the deals are worth waiting for or they very minimal in reduction.

Are advertisements on every other page for all Marvel comics? I got 5 issues in the mail and I figured comics were a bit on the short side, but wow. I just got done reading the first Star Wars Obi-Wan and Anakin comic and it is terrible IMHO.

I didn't purchases them but I remembered the last sale. Lowest price I seen was .80 for a complete vol and highest was about $3.40. Very good prices if your a digital person.
Sounds like I'll be waiting then. Thanks for the answer. I'd love to go physical but am lacking space here these days and some of them I imagine are quite costly. Could always view them on the internet through other methods but am in no rush to read the series so probably will just wait.

Just got back from a Midnight release of Dark Nights: Metal, and this book is wild. Best "event" book I've read in a long time, very intriguing to see where it goes from here. Even gonna buy the tie-ins, they actually look interesting.
I feel like DC is taking risks and hitting a major stride right now, and Marvel comics for me is at a huge low. Their movies are obviously great, but man do the comics suffer as a result. Letting Lemire go back to DC I feel like is gonna be a mistake. The DC books he has on the horizon look great, though, so good for us either way. (Also his Image stuff. The first arc of Royal City has me hooked.)
Mr. Miracle #1 was mind blowing, btw. If you haven't bought that book, you gotta buy that book!

I bought a ton of stuff during a recent sale, Punisher included (I was a fan way back when). I am waiting for Locke and Key to go on sale again so I can get collections 3+. Any sale at Amazon/Comixology will have a lot of good deals. The last sale, I basically looked at the collections, and then I looked at reviews and best-of lists. Haven't been disappointed so far. I also got a lot of Usagi Yojimbo collections, because that was the first comic I really dug, and because they were super cheap for a lot of Usagi.

I have a question hopefully someone can help me with. So I will have the G.I Joe idw collection soon, 7 volumes I think?
I have bought a good bit of various single issue and volumes from comixology. Are the idw collections setup in a series reading order?
Since there is a big sale currently on Amazon.com / Comixology, should I bother getting the remaining issues or just wait for the idw collection to show up. I'm getting conflicting information when I try to find what all is included in each set.

So I been using comixology to keep track of my pull list but amazon is going to shut it down soon. What pull list tracker are people using?
I’ve been trying to find an alternative since they announced the shutdown. No luck yet. Let me know if you find anything.
Bought Onega Men In the Amazon sale. Really enjoyed The Vision so we’ll see how this one is.

Tom King is on a roll. Everything he's been putting out is fantastic. His Batman run has picked up a lot of steam and Mr. Miracle is great as well. Highly recommend checking those out. For finished stuff, he his Sheriff of Babylon series recently came out in trades (12 issues total) I'd recommend checking that out if you enjoy Omega Men and want a more realistic version of the political basis of that book.
He also has a Swamp Thing special coming out at the end of this month that I'm really looking forward to (which includes a new story by the late Len Wein).

Anyone else here manage to grab Batman: Damned? I've never seen a new comic skyrocket in price so quickly before. Never really sold single issue comics, but these prices are undeniable (and keep rising)
All for a lil bat schlong...
Kind of crazy there were no posts in this thread for 8 months.
I actually did enjoy Omega Men, so I’ll definiteky look into the other stuff you rechomrmded above. Batman is one of my favorite characters so I’m really interested to see how that one is.

No, I was out of the country. Is it good though?

It's good so far. Pretty sure it's only 3 issues, so I was expecting a bit more from the first. It is very very "dark", as you'd expect from them. I'm a big fan of their Joker book, so I have high hopes. Difficult to go too in depth without spoiling the book.
Anyone manage to snag this one btw? It's a WALMART exclusive comic that released on Sunday, with a Swamp thing story drawn by Capullo. If anyone in the thread happens to find one at their local Walmart and wants to help a CAG out... I'm desperate for this one but can't find it.

I can check my Walmart. Is the comics located in the magazine section? I never bought comics at Walmart before.
Ha, exactly. Yeah, every employee I've asked said it would go either in the magazine/book section, or by the trading cards??? Very confused by that one.

Nothing at my Walmart. Only found a Marvel Spider-man comics at the magazine and book section. I have no clue where the trading card section is at.
I wouldn't be surprised if they're sitting in the back in a box. Unless this becomes a monthly issued regular book I can't see how it would be stocked regularly. Hard to see the point of a Walmart exclusive comic in the first place...
Hopefully they're on the shelves by Thanksgiving.

Reminds me of those DC funko mystery boxes that were exclusive to Walmart that didn't show until way after the actual date in a part of the store it wasn't supposed to be in lol.

Last time I went in, and employee told me to check with the greeting cards. I'm not entirely sure anything is supposed to be anywhere at Walmart.

Some Amazon.com deals:
Preacher Book Five $0.00 https://smile.amazon...B00M0YAAMC/ref=
Fables Vol 5 $0.06 https://smile.amazon...B0064W67EG/ref=
Buffy S8 Omnibus 1 $1.99 https://smile.amazon.../B073C55LTX/ref
Conan Omnibus Vol 1 $1.99 https://smile.amazon...B01M212OZQ/ref=
Hellboy Omnibus are also $3.99. It was that price from Comixology a few weeks back but I guess Amazon didn't update the price after the Comixology sale was over.

Hey dead thread mates, selling a bunch of classic DC/Vertigo trades and full unread trade series (and my original uncensored copy of Batman: Damned) in the trade section:
https://www.cheapass...items-w-offers/
Also - any books any has been really excited on lately? King's "Heroes in Crisis" has been really great so far for me, and a great take on the "Crisis" book types. Also everything with Remender or Lemire's name on it has just been stellar. Including the new Deadly Class show.
