Kindle Unlimited isn’t exactly a big money maker for authors unless they have a hit series and tons of books out so I’m worried that this similar service won’t be a good thing for the creators I want to support. I also wonder how these creators are getting paid. However, from yesterday I noticed that many creators whose books are on Comixology Unlimited were like “what the shit, my book is up here?”… I heard that the publishers (Image, IDW, Boom, Dark Horse, etc) were asked whether they’d like to participate and then they were to tell their creative teams that their books were included in the service. I do wonder how creators are getting paid through this. Sure, some of these books (like the Ghost omnibus I was wailing about on twitter) are messes, but I’ve really only come across a couple of books I wish I hadn’t read. You get access to a bunch of really cool, kind of indie comics that you probably wouldn’t have read otherwise.
(On a side note: if anyone knows of any Valiant comics with queer characters starring front and center as heroes/anti-heroes, lemme know!)Ĭomixology Unlimited is a good deal at $5.99 a month following your free month trial. It’s a lot like reading Wildstorm in the 90s (or in the mid 2000s for me as I was a wee child back then) only without their own Apollo/Midnighter going on. I like that there are a lot of Valiant first volumes included in CU because I’ve been meaning to start checking out their expansive universe. I can’t even believe it because this isn’t something I’ve ever been interested in prior to like Gail Simone heading up the Swords of Sorrow event. I’ve been able to catch up with series like Masks and Vampirella (and by “catch up”, I mean “start”) and I’ve reread some other trades that I loved for Lazarus and Fatale. Anyway, I really like the program so far. So yeah, excess with subscription services is kind of my thing. In the first month that I signed up for kindle unlimited back in 2014, I must’ve read fifty books. Yes, I’ve gone overboard but it’s what I do. In the 24-ish hours since I signed up for my 30-day free trial of Comixology Unlimited, I’ve read about fifteen graphic novels and like four floppies.
