HOT deal for comicbook or Scifi/fantasy fans

[sMiLeYz]

Comic fans know Crossgen produces some of the most beautifully drawn and colored, story rich scifi/fantasy comics available. Since the price of comics have risen to 2.95$ lately, I find myself picking up fewer and fewer comics.

I recently found out about Crossgen's Comics On the Web program. You can view all of CrossGen's entire library, including all the back issues for about 2.00$ a month. That's a steal considering a single issue costs 3$! Theres a catch however, newest issues aren't available online. The Library is behind by a month or two.

They offer a 3 month subscription for 6$, a 6 month subscription for 12$, 1 year membership for 20$, and 120$ for lifetime subscription. Considering the quality of the titles and the amount of titles they have to view from, it's a steal. I just signed up for 6 months, and after the six month period I'm going for the lifetime subscription!

You should offer to write some commericals for them, cause thats what you sounded like there.

Just sharing what I thought was a fantastic deal. That's why I believe this is called the hot deals forum.

taurean - the infomercial is probably fine, what's not is the bump came only a couple of hours after the post. I'm not sure you should be bumping your own hot deals. Makes it sound like you are somehow linked to it.

Not a bad deal, though I always liked holding my comics. Good deal if you just want to read the issues and not collect the comics themselves.

I need to hold comics (and other things).

I do like Crossgen titles tho- Crux especially. I pick up their TPBs.

What a great site, thanks! I love the audio ones.

I tried it out. Not bad- they certainly have something with lots of potential.

I do have to say that the resolution is way too low, even at the highest setting. Way too many jaggies. I might consider it if they bumped up to a higher resolution.

Um, well have you tried version Cow version 2? It's easy to miss, the link is right next to the "forums | Quickstart help" options. I didnt even notice the CoW v.2 option until just about 6 hours ago.

Version 2 has higher resolution and zoom, all the language options and audio.

Glad you like it . The audio isn't great, it's more like audiobook quality, but the quality of the titles and art is outstanding. Almost all of their comics are completely original,unlike the superhero comics of Marvel and DC.

And Greg Land is the most talented artist in the industry today.

Though other than Negation (great book) I dont read many crossgen books but this sounds like a good idea.
