It seems like there’s a big cross-platform sale every week; this week it’s on Geoff Johns’s Green Lantern comics, marked down to 99 cents an issue on comiXology, Kindle, and Nook. ComiXology says it’s a seven-day sale that kicked off on November 19, so it looks like you’ll have till Tuesday night to make your picks.
ComiXology also has a sale on comics from the UK publisher Titan. This is a good time to check out Tank Girl, Death Sentence, or my favorite, Numbercruncher, for just 99 cents a pop. This sale ends Sunday night.
Domo arigato! Dark Horse Digital has marked down three dozen robot-themed comics for the weekend; sale titles include The Bionic Man, Gigantic, Syn, and The Terminator, and prices range from 49 cents (for Syn #1) to $7.98 for The Compleat Terminal City.
And if you’re in the mood for manga, Amazon has a sale on Viz digital manga for $5.99 or less. The three series that are on sale—One Piece, Demon Love Spell, and Case Closed—are the three that are on sale on Google Play for $5.99 per volume; Amazon has knocked them down a bit lower, to $5.79 each.
UPDATE: ComiXology just put a ton of IDW’s Doctor Who comics on sale, to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the show. They have a couple of different series including the Doctor Who/Star Trek: The Next Generation crossover. You can get floppies for 99 cents each, or go all in and get their big 50th anniversary bundle of 81 comics for $50.
