One of these things is not like the other: Three of this week's best-seller lists had at least one title that seemed a little out of place. The other one, Nook, is so weirdly consistent from week to week that it's almost an outlier itself. ComiXology 1. Injustice: Gods Among Us #36 2. Infinity #3 3. Uncanny X-Men, vol. 3, #12 4. New Avengers, vol. 3 #10 5. Superior … [Read more...] about Digital Comics Best-Sellers for September 22, 2013
Digital Comics Bargains for the Weekend of September 20
This week's top bargain at comiXology is a 99-cent sale on Valiant Entertainment comics, including X-O Manowar, Archer and Armstrong, and Bloodshot.
