Digital Comics
I was just reviewing the titles I was going to try out when DC hits the relaunch and I started thinking about their digital day & date plan. The idea is, they're gonna launch all of these titles digitally on the same day of their releases in order to draw in new readers. I actually considered buying them digitally instead of in print until I hit the fridge logic.
They cost way too much digitally. New titles from DC cost the same amount to buy in store as they do digitally. What the fuck? It's not like we're paying for the paper it's printed on. It's fucking digital. Do they really think consumers are going to want to spend the same amount on something they can't hold in their hand? And something they don't own. Yeah. When you buy digital from DC on the Comixology app you do not own the comics. You're leasing them. So if that company flops because digital comics don't work out, then *bam!* that's your money gone. You can't keep the comics you paid money for. The same amount of money you would have paid in store for something you can actually keep. What the hell? How does that make sense to anyone? Is there something I'm missing here because this all pants on head retarded. Last edited by The Sevenshot Kid; 07-03-2011 at 08:51 PM. |

I thought they were a dollar cheaper?
EDIT: LOLOLOL apparently they think people will want to wait a month to get the comic only one dollar cheaper. What a load of crap.

If I'm gonna be willing to wait a month to get a comic then I'm gonna be willing to wait for the trade so that does nothing for guys like me. And you don't even really own it.
