Apple definitely gets a cut if you buy on their apps, So buying from the web gives the most. And I think I heard at some point, that if you buy from the publishers store fronts (ie: http://www.comixology.com/DC_Comics , http://comicstore.marvel.com/ ,and https://comics.imagecomics.com/ ), but can't really vouch for that 100%
Using the app on iOS also charges tax on purchases in NY, whereas the Android app and purchases made on the comiXology website are tax free.

Yes!
Gimme!
I know to get Extremis. Anything that I can skip, or am I going to have to spend a ton of money here because it's all worth it?
I want to learn more about comics, could you please give me a guide about what the best comic websites are? Thank you in advance.
It looks great, thank you. I'll keep an eye on it.
It seems CBR is very popular, but I hate it there are too many ad blocks on it. Newsarama looks better but I don't think it's 100% focused on comics.
occasionallywearsahat.com, my rambly ramblings of ramble
The four series I would get with this (in order of the best to me)
1. Ultimate Thor
2. Ultimate Human
3. Ultimate Avengers vs New Ultimates
4. Ultimate Captain America
but skip Ultimate Iron Man I and II as they are non-canon now and ultimately not very good stories.
It seems like you'd have to be pretty silly to pass up Essex County for $5.
I also grabbed Infinite Kung-Fu.
I've tried supporting my local comic shop, but between my work hours making for limited trips, and then the store being out of what I wanted, I'm ready to give up and just go online.
Any advice?
If you're solely looking for a digital comic viewer (which I suspect you aren't), and have the money to spend (I'm guessing you're looking at the KF because of the price, though), I really cannot recommend strongly enough investing in the 3rd gen iPad. Comics on that device, and that screen, are just an absolutely wonderful experience.
The 1 star reviews are just that, uninformed people / people that dont know how to use technology and stuff (they'll also give bad reviews for comics being too expensive lol)
Android tablets are just as good!
I haven't seen an Android tablet with a screen that looks nearly as good as the iPad 3.
This is why I asked the question. Most of the the bad reviews had more to do with the availability of DC comics directly in the Comixology app on the Fire rather than the quality of the app itself.
Yeah, I'm not about to spend $500 on an iPad. I've already got a Kindle reader and an Amazon Prime account, so the Kindle Fire is a more palatable upgrade.
You can probably find one of the last years Androids tablets for 300ish now (like this guy http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Clearance-Motorola-XOOM-32GB-Dual-Core-Tablet-Android-OS-3-1-Honeycomb-Bundle-/280869290612?pt=US_Tablets&hash=item41651d4274&clk_rvr_id=338083651157 )
(10.1" screens make a full page easy to read)
Could also root the KF and change the launcher, but that's getting way off-topic.
I don't know what exactly the deal is with DC on the ComiXology app, but buying them on the ComiXology website is a rather trivial process if they can't be bought via the app itself.
The Xoom can be updated to 4.0.

General question to everyone: which of these are worth picking up? I don't do DC aside from Batman, and I'm already following Batman and Batman and Robin.
Swamp Thing
Animal Man
Teen Titans reminds me of a 90's book, so take that as you will.
I was just about to ask this. Haha. I have Batman & Robin and Detective Comics on iOS and I get physical of Batman.
I was debating one of the Superman series, but I don't know if I can get into him.
Is Wonder Woman any good? I really like the cover art on the issues I have seen.
Probably going to try Wonder Woman, Flash, The Dark Knight (maybe), one of the Superman series, and possibly Swamp Thing.
