Someone pointed this site out to me pretty recently. I switched from my local comic shop to this site and couldn't be happier.

Unless you're tied up to wanting them in physical form, digital comics have come a long way. Especially for Image, who offers all their shit in DRM free CBR/CBZ format and consistently has stuff available on sale.

I generally only buy single issues in physical form nowadays if it's something that will likely have value down the line

I'm not against digital format, but I'm too invested in these series to make the switch. Been collecting them for decades and several hundred issues in. My OCD would scream bloody murder at an incomplete paper collection.

I checked out DCBS and unfortunately they have almost nothing of that series.

I can buy straight from Antarctic press but the shipping seems a bit much and would like to do something where I can set up a subscription service. I found a store based out of NC called Atomic Empire that seems to have a number of issues of what I want. Has anyone had any experience with them?

Does some of the manga you read not go through Diamond Previews?

I just got into Saga so my assessment probably isn't fair, but Brian Vaughn is pretty incredible at it.

Hickman. See: Secret Wars, East of West and Manhattan Projects.

So I just started reading comic books. I read through the original secret wars (1980s), then Secret Wars Prelude, then finally Secret Wars (2015).

So Marvel might have spoiled/announced the return of a classic character tonight. Probably not a shock to many people.

Dark Souls comic coming April 6th, Published by Titan Comics (Doctor Who)

Dark Souls fans have more than just a new video game to look forward to this spring. We're pleased to exclusively reveal that Titan Comics has acquired the rights to this moody, brutally difficult Bandai Namco franchise and will be launching a Dark Souls comic book in April, just in time for Dark Souls 3.

The comic is simply titled "Dark Souls" and will offer new stories set within the universe rather than adapting the stories of the games. It'll be written by George Mann (Doctor Who: The 8th Doctor) and drawn by Alan Quah (Godzilla: Awakening).

Dark Souls #1 will ship with five different covers, including two game covers, a blank sketch cover and two variant covers by artists Joshua Cassara and Marco Turini.

Mann discussed his excitement for this new series in Titan's official press release, saying, "I’m ‘dead’ excited to be working on this new series (see what I did, there). Dark Souls has a rich, original universe that’s just begging to be explored in comics, and I’m honoured to have the opportunity to delve in and tell some new stories within it. I’ve been a fan of the games for some time, so it’s a real thrill to be able to contribute to the mythology of the Hollows and their world.”

Oh yeah, I forgot about that because it was a graphic novel that seemed to never matter to the main timeline.

**Krandor** · 2016-01-20 10:13

Pretty sure it had been stated that while it's wasn't necessarily a current storyline that Rage of Ultron was canon.

Nobody else notice Cap 2099 back there?

Another DC reboot coming up? Some reports out there already say as of June the entire line will be relaunched with more of an emphasis on the characters with movies coming out.
