Oldiesmann: Interesting to see they're bring Wilbur Wilkin back from the dead again. I remember them making a big deal of it when they suddenly decided he was Jughead's cousin years ago - only for him to vanish again, much like Jellybean

Oldiesmann: I miss the days of floppies with there or four new stories each. I'll take that over digests any day

Tuxedo Mark: How absolutely pathetic. Five items, three of which are entirely reprints. Only two new 5-page stories for the entire month. Only two of the four "main" digests. And the story in the girls' digest features Bingo and Pureheart.

If they are selling the new series at the same price at both digitally and printed what is the incentive to get the digital one?


Digital comics come out sooner. BN.com used to release comics at midnight on release day, Amazon around 2 am, and Comixology even later. I used to wake up early and read the new Archie before work when it first started. Now it's not nearly as exciting.


The earliest I could go to a comic store is release day after work and most comic stores near me only open from 12pm-5/6pm and I'm almost never out of work by then. Also most of the comics I read are not the kinds stores keep shelf copies of (i.e. lots of all ages/kids comics and girlie comics) and to preorder them it has to be like 5-6 weeks in advance if you want it on release day and then would order the wrong variant for me. It's just easier to do it all online.
The thing for me is at the comic shop I can pay with cash and I don't have to bother my Mum or Dad with there credit card and then having to give them my cash and then them having to take my cash if they want to the bank and deposit it. I don't have my own credit card yet. It would make it a lot easier if I could order online but you have to have a bank account for PayPal or a Credit Card to do it and I don't have either yet. So to get these comics on digital I would want I will have to ask my parents. They said they are cool with that but I just can't be asking like every week to get one. I said I am good with that.
