    Default VALIANT Goes DRM Free

    http://comicbastards.com/valiant-ent...-new-releases/

    Includes all single issues and collections, classic VALIANT and day-and-date new releases!

    Several are free right now or are being offered at a reduced price.

    Nice, hope they'll include digital codes on their print issues soon.

    Great move by a great publisher. I've never bought any books from Drivethru though.
    Read Prophet, live Stray Bullets.

    Dino (VEI CEO) said on twitter that this is just the start...so I suspect to see DRM Free backups on Comixology shortly.

    What exactly does this mean? I don't actually know what DRM free means exactly.

    It means you can copy/back up your digital comics and read them through any app you want.

    You can legally download the comic as a PDF or CBR/CBZ file. There are no Digital Rights Management; no copy protection.
    Hope is not lost today. It is found.

    You have to pay for those as well right? While were on the subject, how does a CBR file work?

    Yes, you have to buy the comics. CBR/CBZ are just zip files, designed to be used for comic book pages.
