            1. @neurario What are your feelings on Digital Rights Management? If you're willing to put them aside for the sake of reading a few cheap comics, http://www.comixology.com/ allows you to purchase and read the comics online, and sync them (through their smartphone app) to a device for offline reading. You do not, however, "own" the comics, and they can't be accessed outside the reader.

              1. @ceruleanspark Oh, excellent. I'll keep it bookmarked. Right now my nighttime reading is the Matthew Reilly books. https://play.google.com/store/books/details/Matthew_Reilly_Ice_Station_A_Scarecrow_Novel_1

                  1. @ceruleanspark actually that's not even slightly true. The early android store was bursting at the seams with single-book-apps being created, usually without permission by various indian developers.

      2. @pony There are companies who evaluate these things. They're probably the same people who grade magic cards. Generally though, 10 is only attainable if it's been bagged since purcahse.

        1. @ceruleanspark How can they tell if it's been un-bagged or not? Mine hasn't been removed iirc, but it's not sealed so I'm guessing it's not top grade.

    2. @pony Oh, okay xD Well I'll check those out and buy 'em for realsies if I enjoy them... no reason why I shouldn't ^^

      1. @neurario I have yet to obtain issue #, but since I own 8 copies of issue # and a copy of issues # 3 & 4 I feel no regret for having a digital copy of them. I could have scanned them myself after all.
