The weekend Dark Horse sale isn't up yet, but it'll likely mimic their Comixology Frank Miller offering.

Big Valiant sale expires 10/5/15; lots of new stuff, and all the old Eternal Warrior. Two bundles are included, and, as always, check your Humble/etc bundles to see what you own already.

Marvel Monday is once again on Matt Fraction's run on Iron Man.

Another Warren Ellis sale at Avatar, this one ends 10/11/15. I'm tempted just because I'm in a horror mood, but I should resist, right? Most of Avatar's stuff is mediocre to awful, right?
The issues are available individually, 87 at $.99 and 4 at $1.99, or a $59.99 bundle of all 91 issues.

A huge New York Comic Con sale from Image lasts until 10/12/15, and includes 112 items, a mix of singles and collections.

[Trevor]

112 items? Well, we are not so lucky anymore. Now there are 102 collections on sale and 622 single issues. Damn, I am afraid to look. You go first. I'll cover your back.

:help:
Well, one good thing is that I own a lot of it already, either on Comixology or Humble Bundle, but yeah, it'll be an expensive week.

I see now that the sale is listed in multiple parts on Comixology. I guess I first only saw a "highlights" page or something.

[Trevor]

The weeklong sale from DC is disappointing in that it's only a handful of collections, and pretty much all of them were on sale in singles form recently. The only new to sale-dom books are a few of the older Green Arrow books.

Another Top Shelf sale, also ending 10/12/15, has 23 very good collections and an amazing bargain bundle.
https://www.comixology.com/Top-Shelf-Sale/page/8354

I particularly recommend the Motorcycle Samurai bundle. Only $3.99 and what I've read so far is amazing. Two freebies are in that bundle, so check them out if you need convincing.

Totally disappointing sale from DC this week!

That Image sale is going to hurt.

Hi Guys can anyone explain to me the difference between comixology and just buying the books off Amazon, generally I like to wait for trades as you get the whole story (as a UK customer can I even get it)

[Trevor]

Dark Horse singles are finally at Comixology; but I'm still not buying anything there until they merge accounts. Stuff is cheaper at Dark Horse Digital and I have too much invested over there to re-buy anything at Comixology.

New sale from Marvel on the Original Sin mini and crossovers, unknown duration, 60 singles at $.99 each.
https://www.comixology.com/Original-Sin-Sale/list/8538

New collection sale at Comixology on sixteen Iron Man books, unknown duration, up to 80% off.

Viz has Naruto on sale at Comixology, including a complete bundle for $229.99, and smaller bundles and single books.

Is there talk of merging Dark Horse accounts with comiXology or are we just hoping at this point?

They both keep saying it won't happen. Sucks if true.

New freebie at Dark Horse.

Some of the many freebies at Dark Horse are now in the freebie list at Comixology too. Hitting "add all" will probably get you some new ones.

A new DC bundle for NYCCC is intriguing. It's basically the first or current issue of their entire line-up. 47 books for $54.99, ends 10/11/15.
https://www.comixology.com/DC-Comics...le/bundle/1098

Another Walking Dead sale, this one ends 10/12/15 and includes 23 mostly $5.99 collections and 141 $.99 singles.

That Original Sin sale ends 10/11/15.

They are just two of the many different places where you could buy digital comics. Despite Amazon owning Comixology, the accounts do not merge.

Amazon using their Kindle technology to allow you to read your purchased content (Kindle devices and a PC/web version).

Comixology has many more comics available, and uses their own viewing app or web browser.

What device do you plan to read comics on?
