I've just tried digital comics..and I liked it!

I had a few days off sick last week. Confined to my sick bed and having completed the Harley Quinn trades, I was looking at my wishlist on my Amazon Kindle when i noticed that the Monster of Frankenstein collection was just £0.92 on Kindle! That compares to £33.50 in print. That's an insane difference and I thought that is definitely worth a try.

I also noticed that "Doctor Strange: Into the Dark Dimension" was only £1.68 compared to £19.98. Now that was a collection I'd had on my wishlist for sometime. So I bought it on kindle and read it through. It was great! I surprised myself how easily I took to reading the comic on my kindle using the clever comixology trickery.

So I looked round a bit more and realised that Marvel Masterworks that were 6 months or more ago are pretty cheap too. Daredevil vol 5 was about £3.20 and I worked out that if I bought that and vol 6 I would save about £25 on the cost of the print epic collection printing the same material. Woo hoo.

So I cancelled my order for the epic collection and purchased the masterworks.

The price difference isn't as dramatic for DC collections, only a pound or two. So I think I'd stick to print for my DC stuff and keep my pre-orders, but it's nice having another option for the Marvel stuff.

Takes up less room too. Big bonus!

Harley Quinn...(from the beginning)

Now I've finished my Star Wars comics, I've decided to read all my Harley Quinn stuff in-between the New Teen Titans.

I began with these two collections. Both contained various material from a number of years collected together to form the book.

The first story in "Batman: Harley Quinn" is supposed to be the first proper HQ in the DC comics universe. It's the best story in the collection. However, I prefered "Harley and Ivy" collection as that was more fun. However, by the end the theme was getting a bit repetitive.  It goes to show what an excellent job Palmiotti and Connor have done on what is/was essentially a one trick character.

More Marvel Star Wars - Vader Triumphant

Following my last post, I thought I'd finish the remaining SW volumes which happen to be Vader Vol 3 and Vol 4,

These were really good and were actually the final volumes in the series. I think it's a good point to finish reading Star Wars comics. As they have come to a conclusion of some sort. This is not a reflection of the quality but more due to cost, shelf space and the fact that Rebels and the new movies can give me my fix.
