Free (digital) comic books!!!

[orangerful]

andy_wolverton just alerted me to the Summer Reading comic book giveaway that comiXology is doing RIGHT NOW! No strings attached, just sign up for the website and you can get free comics for 20 days (well, 17, it started a few days ago)!

They also have a regular free comic collection too. I just snagged Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and Scott Pilgrim's FCBD story from there.

I've never actually read a comic on my iPad. Most of the single issues I buy for collecting reasons (currently collecting the new Serenity comics, which are fantastic) and otherwise I wait for the trades and check it out from the library. But this is a great way to test run series without filling up my shelves!

I can never say no to free. :)

Hold up, there are Serenity comics? Need to tell John ASAP... He and I love Firefly and Serenity. Love your Pinkie Pie icon, by the way. XD

Did you not know about any of the Firefly/Serenity comics?? There's one that happens between the show and the movie, one that is a prequel to the movie, then Book got a mini-series, and there was the Wash one-shot by Patton Oswalt and now the official continuation of the story, picking up a few months after Serenity. They are really good, though only up to issue 4 so no trade yet.

Thank you! Pinkie Pie is def my spirit pony LOL. Bit of a spaz, loves to plan parties (but parties help disguise the control freak tendencies underneath LOL)
