Pretty cool for those who like digital comics. While I prefer print comics, as long as it increases revenue for IDW so the TMNT comics continue for a long time to come, its fine with me.

HotJuicyBurgers · 06-05-2012, 06:00 PM

Any chance we could get something akin to the marvel program where if you bought the comic (and in my case and i'm sure many other's case multiple of the same comic for the different covers) that we could also receive the digital version?

There's a thread for that...

*Koi* · 06-05-2012, 06:33 PM

Oh oops. Sorry about that.

*Kendamu* · 06-05-2012, 06:37 PM

I was hoping for something more universal like Comixology but this'll do once I buy an iPad or something.

Edit: Comixology is included.

Comixology is actually the same thing. IDW's apps are simply rebranded versions that just feature their books.

I tried it out quick with the 3 free downloads they give you. The books look really great and reading them this way would work fine.

I'd like to keep digital copies handy because it makes them easy to reference after my hard copy gets put away in a box, but I'm not sure that I'm willing to invest another $2/book for something I've already bought.

I'm going to play around with it more a little later to see if I think it's worth $2/issue.

I also hope IDW does something similar to marvels program, I love having the printed comic but wouldn't mind being able to re-read them on my phone or ipad, laptop etc....

I've used Comixology and its brand specific versions before. It was the "only on iOS" thing that originally threw me off. I have a PC and an Android phone.

*DonatelloFan* · 06-05-2012, 08:15 PM

Great idea, but since I usually get at least two variants each issue, spending extra money on a digital copy just doesn't make sense. But obviously it's meant for people who either don't care to spend the extra money, or only want the digital copy. Great job IDW!!

Lampy · 06-05-2012, 09:09 PM

finally I can catch up as they come out... having no comicshops on this island is a bit difficult to read em as they release. Thanks Tom... this'll helps me a lot.

*Kendamu* · 06-06-2012, 12:06 AM

All I know is that, after I get paid next week, I'm going to be downloading a large cart full of TMNT digital comics.

Of course, I'll still be buying the TPBs and Hardcovers in print, but for issue-to-issue purposes I'll be going completely digital.

Abnormal Freak · 06-06-2012, 12:12 AM

I might be buying some digital copies possibly. Lately I haven't felt like paying cover price when I'll be buying the trades anyway, so buying digitally is cheaper and will tide me over till the trades come out.

*zkarlette* · 06-06-2012, 03:37 AM

Wow! Getting this now!

*Candy Kappa* · 06-06-2012, 03:52 AM

Hmm, so what you're saying Tom, is that I need to buy an iPad... I always wanted an iPad

Thorneyeagle · 06-06-2012, 06:31 AM

I have to agree, it would be nice if people who have purchased the comic could get either a free download or at least discounted download.

I don't think i need to repeat why.

~edit~
As a side note - the availability of volume one issues in digital format is a nice touch. For people who want to read without the price tag of the ultimate volume. Granted I love my hardcover copies but I still think its a good deal. Now if only my nook would work with this.

shezcrafti · 06-06-2012, 07:38 AM

Being a Windows, Linux & Android user I've been trying to avoid buying an iPad for as long as I possibly can, but this might the thing that finally makes me break down and get one.

If you've got the app, I'd love to hear your hands-on review...

Comixology, (and each one of it's specific series apps), works very well. You press on the right side of the screen to move to the next page/issue/segment, and on the left of the screen to go back. Pressing the middle of the screen takes you to options.

It does a little bit more than just advance, (in the case of my iphone it will zoom in and out for things that are too small etc.) and has a feature to auto rotate if it looks better this way or that way if you want to turn it on.

The only caveat I have with going digital is that I'm buying all the comics in print, (most of the time multiples of the same issue,) and it just doesn't make sense for me to buy them again.
