Digital Comics Wrap Up- DCUI adds new trade collections, Sweet Shop signs Ignition Press DC Universe Infinite offers new digital trade collections for Ultra tier subscribers and Sweet Shop now offers Ignition Press titles

Spent some time today improving comic matching for backup copies from @sweetshop.app , so self-hosted comic server folks can add metadata (ComicInfo.xml, MetronInfo.xml) to the PDF. That's my use case too — I don't want to be Mr. Magoo-ing it while reading on a tablet. #comics

Finally got my @sweetshop.app invite, and spent last night exploring it a bit. Overall, a real nice experience. The killer feature for me is tho, the ability to download backup copies since I've been burned in the past with some digital stores. *Looks at Amazon / ComiXology* #Comics

The new LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES series has the energy of the Absolute, Energon and Ultimate universes. It has the core spirit of the Legion but updated for today. It's new-reader friendly without forgetting its history. It's the future of DC Comics in more ways than one. Don't miss out!

🎨🦸 One of DC's most influential artists is getting the Artist's Edition treatment. José Luis García-López's DC Classics Artist's Edition arrives in 2027 with 240 oversized pages of original art, including DC Comics Style Guide material, and more. #comicsky Preview:

This is where superhero comics probably peaked honestly

Orion learns that he is NOT the true son of Darkseid. To find the truth he must speak with Darkseid himself. Unknown to Orion, Darkseid and Desaad have returned to Earth to once again play their sick, twisted games. This time they have invaded a small town in Nebraska.

It's interesting that it seems about each week, we have a new comic shop make use of our API for their sites. You'd think either the publishers or distributors would offer some type of service to help them out. #comics #dccomics #marvel

agree with this. it really is what i've always hoped for in digital comics. (it also has this thing that doesn't sound like a big deal but when you're in swipe mode, the pages go flush to the top and bottom of screen. CMX and NI have this thing where it stops like a half inch early I HATE IT)

Oof... it's shocking just how much of the internet is using Cloudflare. Glad I've avoided using it in my projects.

Finally got around to adding support for writing / reading metadata (ComicInfo.xml or MetronInfo.xml) to a comic PDF with Darkseid. #Comic #pdf #metadata #comicinfo #comicrack github.com/Metron-Proje...

Too bad Marvel is shutting down their API. Didn't use it often, but it was useful those times I did. #Marvel #Comics #API

OUT THIS WEEK! conskipper.com/john-hex-all...

The very short-lived 1970s series "O.M.A.C., the One Man Army Corps" from @dc.com Dystopia was never as weird, twisted, or unsettling to kids as under the creative mind and hand of the greatest comic creator ever, Jack "The King" Kirby. The series scared me as a kid, but now, it fascinates me.

A reason why @sweetdotdev.bsky.social is dead set on trying not to make a subscription or if we do, make it equitable for creator owned. The appeal to readers is obvious, and to our business’s bottom line, but philosophically we don’t grow comics unless we make publishers and creators more money.

Watched the #Peacemaker Season 2 finale, and enjoyed the season. It's really too bad there isn't going to be a 3rd season, since the plan seems to be too have the characters appear in future DC movies.

settles in to watch #MarvelZombies. #TV #Jellyfin #Marvel

COMING SOON, over 1000 pages of ALL STAR WESTERN- featuring Jonah Hex and a boatload of others.

This uniform from the fan film Batman: Dead End is on point.

The one feature I'd love to see implemented on #Bluesky is the muting of reposts for a user. I want to follow some folks, but they repost *way* too much for my liking. github.com/bluesky-soci...
