I really need a bit of an advice now.
I can't decide, wether I should switch completely to digital comics or not.
It's cheaper, I can read them where ever I wan't and on the release day, instead of driving to the next comic book store with the train every month.
>>
Well I always thought if I were to go to digital/buy digital I'd rather just DL the cbr rather than actually buying it. Physical copies are also alot nicer to read.
>>
>>92197707
Digital comics aren't THAT much cheaper as to waive a true ownership for licence
>>
>>92200623
This. I really cannot get into the idea of paying for something that can be taken away from you like that. However some publishers do offer downloadable backups on certain books when you buy them on Comixology, so it's not an all-or-nothing situation.

I would suggest moving to tradewaiting over going fully digital unless space is becoming an issue.
>>
>>92197707
Just a reminder that DC said they will start giving away free digital codes in some of their titles. I've bee. Waiting for this to happen for a long time now.
>>
>>92201491
They already started with the monthlies.
>>
>>92201491
They added a dollar to the price to their monthlys because of the code. I don't use them since the whole code redeem process is kinda lengthy

>tfw none of the titles on my pull list are monthly
>>
>>92201628
3.99 for two copies of the same comic is a fair trade to me, I dislike floppies, but I want to support my lcs.
>>
>>92201692
I mean if you think about it,its a great deal and all but then I kinda don't want to get a digital since I already have the physical.c
>>
>>92201628
It's not that bad, but I think I might try to sell my codes online instead. Haven't decided yet.
>>
>>92201737
I like having the digital copy because when I find myself with spare time, while I'm a passenger in someone's car, between slow periods of work, while waiting for the wife to get ready, I have my comics right there on my phone, and if for some reason the power goes out I have my physicals to thumb through. Also for screen shots during discussions online.
>>
>>92198707
where would you download them from? The win-o-threads just have the latest releases or are you good on back issues?
>>
>>92197707
I've kept up via pirating digitally cbr and cbz
With the lil bit I could afford to spending going to trades or graphic novels.

Now days I got a lil more income but I still keep up with bigger comics through downloads and physically buying floppies for small time Indy stuff that need the numbers just to make it to 2nd trade.


I'd say start downloading.
Like it? Buy it.
>>
>>92203440
Latest of the week plus tons of archives and sharefolders full of back issues.


Not to mention torrents have lots of whole runs to download all at once.
>>
>>92200623
>>92200730
It's only an issue for Marvel and DC.

Everybody else gives you full ownership of what you buy (i.e. they give you DRM-free downloads), but DC and Marvel only let you RENT digital comics.

Let this be a lesson for you: Buy everything else, but pirate Marvel and DC.
>>
>>92204990
With non-big 2 it still depends on the series. Checking some (freebie, no bully) issues I can't backup Lumberjanes or Fight Club 2
>>
What are the best (or your favorite) runs with decent seeding on tpb?

I feel like trying something new and random.
>>
>>92205374
im sure there's gotta be places better than tpb to get your comics from, dude
>>
>>92205409
Not him, but such as? Kick-Ass use to be great for comics, but tpb seems to be lacking...

I remember this Kick-Ass user who seeded whole stories with cross overs and side stories in chronological order.
>>
Pirate monthlies as they come out, and spend the money on trades instead.
>>
>>92205409
Hints as to where would be appreciated please! Mega? Do you have links?

I'll buy them is the story is good.
>>
>>92197707
just pirate you fucking retard

Here, have the longest single-author run of all time. By the time you're finished, you will hopefully learn how to find comics on your own.

Thanks m80.
Holy shit, what happened in issues 280-290?
>>
>>92208519
The author has schizophrenia.

Towards the end there's a bit of a breakdown.
>>
>>92197707
Pirate and order trades, anon.
>>
Bump for more links to full runs!
>>
>>92208254
To be fair, >>92205374 seemed to ask about links to some good comics to try something new.
>>
>>92204990
>CBR file
>Full ownership
