Comic Books
A place to discuss comic books of all types, from old to new, Big 2 to indie, and everything in between.
Floppies, graphic novels, compilations, omnibusses (omnibusi?) are all fair game.
There is only one rule:*
Comic Books is a no judgement zone.
You can talk all you want about how Rob Liefeld is trash, Bob Kane is an asshole, or Frank Miller and Dave Sim’s politics have made them toxic, that’s all good.
If, however, another user is LEGITIMATELY a fan of something you don’t like, that does NOT make them a lesser person. Attack the art for being bad, not the person for being a fan of bad art.
* I lied. There are TWO rules... No piracy. Cover shots? That's good. Interior pages, in moderation? Sure. Full books? Links to pirate sites? That's how we get things shut down. :(
I'm not saying it's been a problem, because it hasn't been.

That's what I do, I pirate digital versions of the physical books I buy (because I like physical copies more) and convert the .cbr's to .cbz's for use with any comics reader for on the go, in my case: Librera FD.
I was mainly thinking of some site that lets you buy the DRM free versions, but I guess that is one way to go too.
I find that typically (due to drm) buying digital things tends to suck donkey balls these days and it becomes easier in terms of ux and even sometimes procurement to just pirate it.
To be fair I never bothered to try buying digital with comics because I've been fed up with movies, tv, games, etc, and I'm in it for the paper (printed) anyway so I'm not buying it twice, and the other half of the stuff I'm into is old and collectors want 10k for it, so unless they reissue The Flaming Carrot (which I'd get) then fuck 'em!
