Bit miffed I missed the end of the BOGOF sale as I'd been planning to buy some stuff :-( Fortunately I had loaded up with 8 cheap Epics Amazing Spider-Man 1 Great Power Amazing Spider-Man 19 Assassin Nation Avengers 23 Fear The Reaper Captain America 17 The Superia Stratagem Daredevil 20 Purgatory & Paradise Iron Man 3 The Man Who Killed Tony Stark Sgt. Fury 1 The Howling Commandos Silver Surfer 13 Inner Demons I believe that makes ASM 19 my 100th Digital Epic! There's six remaining I didn't get: Fantastic Four 18 The More Things Change... Amazing Spider-Man 4 The Goblin Lives Too new to be BOGOF'd Ms. Marvel 1 This Woman, This Warrior Ms. Marvel 2 The Woman Who Fell to Earth Got the contents in Masterworks, these will be cheaper shortly, possibly as soon as the sale to accompany the DVD release next month Doctor Strange 1 Master of the Mystic Arts Doctor Strange 3 A Separate Reality Only two left, one of these is £17.49 full price so it doesn't represent value for money. But apart from those I have all the other RELEASED digital MU Epics. The following remain unreleased: Thor 16 War of the Pantheons Avengers 9 The Final Threat Fantastic Four 17 All in the Family Captain America 9 Dawn's Early Light Iron Man 16 War Games Thor 11 A Kingdom Lost Amazing Spider-Man 15 Ghosts of the Past Avengers 17 Judgment Day Fantastic Four 20 Into the Time Stream Avengers 1 Earth's Mightiest Heroes Silver Surfer 1 When Calls Galactus Captain America 1 Captain America Lives Again X-Men 1 Children of the Atom Our Thursday Old Trade release vigilance will continue for these.

As you'll know not all individual comics are on Comixology. You're fine for ASM, Avengers, Cap, Iron Man, Thor & Uncanny X-Men. IIRC New Mutants is too. X-Men WAS missing a load, but we checked about 6 months back and had caught up mainly through trade releases. When a new trade comes out, it's missing individual issues generally show up the day before. But what happens to an older trade? If that has issues new to Comixology in it, when do they appear? I know for sure there's some missing issues in these three trades so let's have a look: Amazing Spider-Man 15 Ghosts of the Past www.comixology.co.uk/Amazing-Spider-Man-Epic-Collection-Ghosts-Of-The-Past/digital-comic/786047ASM issues you're obviously OK for, and somewhat amusingly ASM 259-263 and Web 1 were in the existing Alien Costume Saga 2. www.comixology.co.uk/Amazing-Spider-Man-1963-1998/comics-series/4277www.comixology.co.uk/Web-of-Spider-Man-1985-1995/comics-series/3410LOTS of Web missing, that's immediately obvious looking at the numbers on the Comixology page, but here it is on Mikes www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/series.php?seriesid=4081&page=galleryHowever 6 is on Comixology, was released last July with some other Secret Wars II tie ins www.comixology.co.uk/new-comics/2018-07-10?lang=0 Avengers 17 Judgment Day www.comixology.co.uk/Avengers-Epic-Collection-Judgment-Day/digital-comic/786042Avengers issues are fine, ditto X-Men Vs and the WCA annual. www.comixology.co.uk/Avengers-1963-1996/comics-series/4231www.comixology.co.uk/Avengers-West-Coast-1985-1994/comics-series/7904www.comixology.co.uk/X-Men-vs-Avengers/comics-series/7853I've actually steadfastly held off buying X-Men vs Avengers knowing this volume must turn up some day Marvel Graphic Novel #27: Emperor Doom is new www.comixology.co.uk/Marvel-Graphic-Novel-1982/comics-series/9188And there's LOADS of those missing www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/series.php?seriesid=4151&page=gallerySpider-Man: The Complete Alien Costume Saga Book One www.comixology.co.uk/Spider-Man-The-Complete-Alien-Costume-Saga-Book-One/digital-comic/786037NOW it get's interesting! ASM, fine. MTU: Comixology www.comixology.co.uk/Marvel-Team-Up-1972-1985/comics-series/11096
Mikes www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/series.php?seriesid=4009&page=gallery 142, 143 & 145 have all been added recently, thanks to a Captain Marvel book and an Iron Man Team Up Book. 141 - Daredevil, actually 2nd part of a story started in 140, 144 - Moon Knight and Annual 7 - Alpha Flight are all new. Peter Parker, The Spectacular Spider-Man: Comixology www.comixology.co.uk/Peter-Parker-The-Spectacular-Spider-Man-1976-1998/comics-series/5307
Mikes www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/series.php?seriesid=4032&page=gallery Somewhat surprisingly they're all there on Comixology, though there's big gaps before these and after issue 100, which concludes Alien Costume v2. They went up 10th October 2017, the same day as a lot of other Peter Parker issues www.comixology.co.uk/new-comics/2017-10-10So we're on the look out for the following single issues appearing: Marvel Graphic Novel #27: Emperor Doom
Marvel Team Up 141, 144 and Annual 7

Since it was the trade missing from eBay I wanted the most, I've paid up full price for Alien Costume Saga 1.
While I was there I also bought the ASM Epic and now own digital copies of every ASM issue 249-360.
Probably would have ponied up for the Avengers trade too but I need some cash for the DW S10 BD
The title of "trade missing from Comixology that I want the most" probably now passes to FF Epic Into The Timestream. I have manfully resisted the Simonson Visionaries every sale knowing this book must one day come to Comixology.
Outside of Epics the "trade missing from Comixology that I want the most" is Hulk Visionaries: John Byrne. That coming out will lead to the buying of issues to bridge the gap between there and Hulk Visionaries Peter David

right, been and had a look at ALL the issues of MTU on Comixology. With ONE exception they are all in a trade on Comixology, and the exception has also been printed in a trade.

Ooooh, book two is missing an issue! There's no Amazing Spider-Man Annual 18, The Scorpion Takes A Bride, in there! www.mikesamazingworld.com/mikes/features/comic.php?comicid=48064It was missing when I first spotted the trade It's missing from the Comixology description, link above, the amazon description and even the contents of the book & it's back cover! Here it is in the paper book, pages 189-228 in between MTU 149 & ASM 260 Yet in between those issues on Comixology.... nothing.

Grrr, wish I'd looked at the forthcoming X-Men Epic a bit more closely. X-Men Epic Collection v4: It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn On Sale: July 30, 2019 It's been on the day one digital purshase list. Turns out I have all the contents already bar Amazing Adventures 11 & 13-17 and Cap 171-175..... and I could have got those five cheap in Masterwork in this sale last week:

Post by Philip Ayres on Jul 12, 2019 23:41:49 GMT
Eventually I will. But volumes where I have most of the content can wait till sales
|
|

Post by Philip Ayres on Jul 13, 2019 11:20:08 GMT
The choice to buy a volume new depends on a number of things: * If I like what's in the book
* if I have the contents already in some form, and if I do how much of the contents?
* how much I've wanted that particular volume - sometimes having everything in one place has a value
* does the volume fill a gap
* if I have the spare cash
* how soon I think it's likely to be in a sale So using some recent examples: Spider Man Alien Costume v1: I had roughly 50% of the contents but I'd had Alien Costume v2 for ages and the lack of v1 had annoyed me. Plus some of the missing contents were MTU!
ASM Epic 15 Ghosts of the Past: Again had roughly 50% of the contents but what was missing bridged the gap to the single issues I bought a few years back to read between my paper Ghosts of the Past and Kraven's Last Hunt
Avengers Masterworks 19: didn't have any of the issues within digitally. Now I didn't buy Avengers Epic Collection: Judgment Day: Avengers (1963) #278-285 I have in the Assault on Olympus trade, Annual #16 & West Coast Avengers Annual #2 are in a WCA book which leaves Marvel Graphic Novel #27: Emperor Doom and X-Men Vs. Avengers #1-4 (the good 1980s one) which isn't enough to shell out full price for. This week's New Mutants Epic Collection: Demon Bear I have all of in New Mutants Classics. No but till sales. Ditto the forthcoming X-Men Epic Collection: Dissolution & Rebirth where I have the singles. It's also why I haven't bought any of the SW Epics before now. X-Men Epic Collection: It’s Always Darkest Before The Dawn: I already have Amazing Adventures (1970) #12; Amazing Spider-Man (1963) #92; Incredible Hulk (1968) #150, #161, #172 And #180-182; Marvel Team-Up (1972) #4 And #23; Avengers (1963) #110-111; Defenders (1972) #15-16; And Giant-Size Fantastic Four #4. That leaves Amazing Adventures (1970) #11 & 13-17; and Captain America (1968) #172-175. Not really worth a full price buy. So firstly we have The Out: Amazing Spider-Man 4 The Goblin Lives - own in Masterowrks Avengers 17 Judgment Day - own most of Doctor Strange 3 A Separate Reality - not really into, waiting for sale Doctor Strange 1 Master of the Mystic Arts - not really into, waiting for sale Fantastic Four 18 The More Things Change... - really needs v17 to be out. If 17 came out I might jump on both the same day. Master of Kung Fu 2 Fight Without Pity - not really into, waiting for sale Ms. Marvel 1 This Woman, This Warrior - own all of, waiting for sale Ms. Marvel 2 The Woman Who Fell to Earth - own all of, waiting for sale New Mutants 2 Demon Bear - own all of, wait for sale Then the missing Avengers 1 Earth's Mightiest Heroes - own all of, wait for sale Avengers 9 The Final Threat - own all of, wait for sale Fantastic Four 17 All in the Family - possible day 1 purchase, own none of. Fantastic Four 20 Into the Time Stream - definite day 1 purchase, Simonson, been holding out getting the Visionaries in the hope of this! Captain America 1 Captain America Lives Again Captain America 9 Dawn's Early Ligh - possible day 1 purchase, own none of, Byrne/Stern Iron Man 16 War Games - possible day 1 purchase, own none of, bridges gap. Silver Surfer 1 When Calls Galactus - own most in FF Epics, wait for sale Thor 11 A Kingdom Lost - possible day 1 purchase, as it bridges gap between vs The Celestials and existing epic Thor 16 War of the Pantheons - possible day 1 purchase as it bridges gap between Simonson and existing epic X-Men 1 Children of the Atom - probable day 1 purchase, I don't have the issues and finally the Coming Soon X-Men 4 It's Always Darkest Before the Dawn - own most of, wait for sale X-Men 17 Dissolution and Rebirth - own all of, wait for sale Fantastic Four 4 The Mystery Of The Black Panther Thor 18 The Black Galaxy - POSSIBLY, if v16 comes out first West Coast Avengers 2 Lost in Space-Time - own all of, wait for sale Incredible Hulk 4 In The Hands Of Hydra - own all of, wait for sale Doctor Strange 8 Triumph & Torment - not really into, waiting for sale Daredevil 4 A Woman Called Widow - not really into, waiting for sale X-Factor 8 X-Aminations - POSSIBLE. Own one maybe 2 issues of and have preceding EPIC. Power Man & Iron Fist 3 Doombringer - Day One Purchase, been waiting for this X-Force 2 X-Cutioner's Song - own most of, wait for sale Avengers 24 The Gatherers Strike! Harras, wait for sale. Defenders 9 The End Of All Songs - Day One Purchase, been waiting for this Amazing Spider-Man 25 Maximum Carnage

That's why I still buy paper trades and try to get both paper and digital trades at the cheapest prices possible.
Comixology being owned by Amazon gives them a level of financial stability and both Marvel and DC have an interest in keeping them going as a significant level of their income comes through them.
