We’re Back! And We’re Better Than Ever

Yes, Yes I know, long time no blog. Please don’t hate me, work has been Hell and my down time has been just that, down time.

With that being said, we are back and better than ever. When last we blogged, our hero was going to come up with a schedule for posts as well as a rating system and an icon or logo for said rating system. Well…well…is the suspense killing you? No? Well it’s a toss up between the Amalgam logo and our logo. Back when DC and Marvel decided to create a co-owned universe we discovered characters such as Dark Claw, the JLX, Spider-Boy, X-Patrol, Magneto and the Magnetic Men and more. It seems they had some crazy storyline where combined characters were created. Since I like Marvel and DC, what better way to rate them than with a combined Amalgam logo. However, we really like our logo and what better way to promote brand recognition than to use it over and over and over again.

These are said logo’s and ultimately my ratings system so what do you think? Which is better?

I also now need to come up with a schedule for my posts, but who likes to live on and by a schedule? I don’t but if I don’t give myself deadlines and due dates the posts will be all over the place and chaos will ensue. I’m thinking Wednesdays for sure…new comic day and then most likely Friday and then either Saturday or Sunday. I used to think that weekends would be great for blogging but for some reason it turned out to be more difficult than I thought.

 

I guess that means we will play it by ear and hopefully the more comments and feedback I get from all of you, the more I will post. Here’s to new beginnings!

 

 

Marvel Digital Comics

If there is anyone out there who is thinking about getting a subscription for digital comics but not absolutely sure…have no fear. I was thinking that it would be a waste of money, there wouldn’t be many comics to read or the titles they did have would not be worth reading. Absolutely incorrect! They recently ran a special for 30% off the yearly price of $59 so it came to the low low price of $42 for the year. That comes to just $3.50 per month, for unlimited comics? So far, I’ve read the entire Civil War series, Secret Invasion series and I am now reading House of M (all to be reviewed in this blog soon). Each comic would cost around $3 each (cover price) with 6 to 8 comics in the series. You do the math and I would have spent about $63 to buy all the comics in all 3 series, and that’s if I could find them. They are from years ago so the only way to get them is to buy back issues or graphic novels which could have cost me more.

Long story short, if you are thinking about it, think no longer. Make the purchase, don’t waste another minute thinking about it. I am going to read the rest of House of M today and then move on to the next series.
