Whats worse is the entire front end letting you explore other comics and series is gone.
The biggest problem with the Comixology app is that last year when they were sold to Amazon (this should be a good thing, right?) the mega company decided to remove the ability to purchase comics from the app (likely in an effort not to have to pay Apple a percentage). There is no reason we should be paying more for a digital movie than a physical blu-ray from Target, and the same should be for comics. I've always believed that digital versions should be discounted from the print copies.
I'm currently doing this with a bunch of comic series including the new run of Star Wars.
They also offer a subscription service so that you'll get the new issue digitally delivered each month, complete with an email notifying you that you now have the latest issue of a series. Comixology will offer sales on a weekly basis, which is a good way to get some good books at a discount (for instance, during my Christmas vacation they were offering 50% off on most of Image Comics library). Each comic is sold separately, usually $4-5 for new issues and a discounted price for older issues. This is my preferred comic reading app because of the quality of the comic scans and the extensive catalog which features almost every comic available. And this should be obvious but Marvel's Unlimited app only offers access to Marvel's library, so if you want something other than superhero comics, you have to really look elsewhere. There is no ability to subscribe to a series or get notifications from a particular series when a new comic arrives. But my real problems are with the interface and not being able to discover new series in a helpful way. The app's offline viewing options are not that great.
The digital comic scans are rather low quality in comparison to the other services.You get all the new issues to all of the current series but six month behind the news-stand. Sounds great, but there is a lot of problems with the app and service that make me not want to use it:.Marvel's app offers unlimited access to over 15,000 Marvel comics.Marvel Unlimited ($10/month or $70/year): There are a variety of digital comic book services out there right now, but all of them seem to have their disadvantages. So when I heard that Scribd was launching a "netflix for comics", I jumped to find out how it would work. The point of this is, I'm currently a consumer trying to find the perfect service to fit my comic book reading needs.
