I saw some Archie Comics in HCs like this at a local library, don’t recall who did it. They were really nice.

Marvel and DC had better get ready, because their current business model of charging $2.99 to $3.99 for barely 20 pages of lackluster entertainment is about to get trounced. The monthly single-character comic book is about as relevant today as the buggy whip was 90 years ago.

King of pop plus rapping Vincent Price? Yeah, can’t beat that.

(FWIW, ‘Friday Night Lights’ & ‘Six Feet Under’ have both done storylines where young characters went through with abortions, though neither of those is the same kind of property as Buffy).

You’re right, this makes lots of sense for the retailer, but I’m already hearing complaints from readers that they don’t like the fragmentation of having to remember where various online comics are stored in order to read their digital books. When Warner created another place to store digital movies that wasn’t iTunes, people complained about that, too. Many customers want one access point, not multiple.

(The chess example… that would only be comparable if I had to play different games through different apps and remember which time zone my competition was in to play them. Too complicated.)

Interesting that the name will be the store’s. I wasn’t aware of that, thanks for sharing it.

There are scores of apps that allow you to play chess… there’s not room for multiple comics apps?

What’s interesting is that the Diamond app is branded as the store itself — the name of the app is NOT “Diamond Digital” or “iVerse” or whatever — it would be (if I were to use it) “Comix Experience”

Diamond appears to have addressed several of my largest concerns, and I’m now at least somewhat considering offering a digital store.

(mostly for Savage Critic, actually – but if that works out OK, wouldn’t that also be useful for CWR?)
