Contact their (Marvel's) customer service. Shit happened to me and they were ON IT.

Thanks! I sent them an email first thing this morning, but have yet to hear back from them. Hope they can help me out too.

But I don't have a 'reading desk' in my house. It's a 21st century house, not a library. I have a computer desk but I don't really want to be sat at it for hours hunched over a massive book. It's weird.
Even Absolutes are on the big side for me, I only have a couple and only for the art.
They should really just do both styles of book. The content is made, they just need to print it again.
Thor #2 was so incredible. Every single word written in it was flawless. Ribic is just unreal. It seems ridiculous to feel like this might be another modern classic run after just 2 issues but I haven't geeked out so hard while reading a new series like this since probably that first arc of UXF...

Nowhere Men #1 is the best first issue in comics since New X-Men #114. Fucking powerhouse.

I don't know how much of the superbly designed antecendent matter (interviews, magazine exposes) is making it into a potential Nowhere Men trade, though. Just something to think about.

Trades for life, brah.
FF #1 was a lot better than Fantastic Four #1. Assuming that the stories have minor crossover for at least the first few issues, I will continue reading FF to see where it goes.
Thor #2 was great. My only complaint is that the antagonist is extremely generic looking, and that is a pretty minor complaint. Eventually I am going to have to start cutting down on some of these Marvel Now titles, but I think Thor will be one of the ones I stick with.

Looking at the list above, it seems like All New X-Men 3 is coming out again next week. You'd think Marvel would schedule its biweekly books to actually come out biweekly.
Crazy that some of these books are already at #3.
Avengers #1 is my big Marvel title for next week, and I will probably end up grabbing Thunderbolts #1 as well.

And yeah, Iron Man is like weekly. Yeesh!
How does the digital comics scenario goes? I recently got a N7, and decided to start from scratch my The Amazing Spider Man collection, but digitally this time (I used to have most hard copies when I was younger, but I had to give it up because I moved between countries I couldn't move them around as well.)
However, browsing the issues on both Comixology and Marvel, I noticed it skips comics, for example, from 25 to 75... why is this? Is there some kind of schedule as to when they will be uploading the issues in between?
Speaking of these two places, is there any benefit for getting the comic from either of these places, does it even matter?
Sorry for the silly questions, it's my first time into digital comics.

It's fucking bullshit is what it is. I remember I stopped buying Marvel years back when their ads got out of control. Now I might have to drop them again because the cost of these books is killing me. It doesn't cost $3.99 a month to read X-Men, it costs nearly $12! At the speed they're pumping these out it make so much more sense just to trade wait. At this pace the first (probably 4 issues for $20 because they're tight bastards) X-Men trade should be out by the end of January...
Every week it's making me a little madder.

As far as I know there is nowhere that says the release schedule for old books. DC and Marvel are both trying to get as much out as possible, it just takes time.
You might well be interested in Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited if you're interested in older comics primarily, it's a flash-based site with loads of old books on there for a flat rate fee. Other users may be able to tell you more, I've not used it myself. Otherwise, buying all issues of ASM on Comixology might well take some time and cost a hell of a lot of money. They're not so good at discounting these old books.
And you might as well just use the main Comixology app. The Marvel app is just a reskin of the main one but without the other pubs iirc.

Get ready to get maddest; they'll probably start collecting them in Premiere HCs not trades.

They're nothing new, pages you've already seen just with dialogue added in. There is one new page for ANXM I hadn't seen, showing
Also, it's f*cking crazy to think that the first issue of Avengers drops next week and they're already finishing artwork on #10. That talk about Hickman having the first forty-something issues planned out obviously wasn't bullsh*t.

I really loved All New X-Men, by the way. I like Bendis writing X-Men way more than I ever liked Bendis writing Avengers.

You damn well know they will. These weedy little undersized hardcovers with 4 issues in them. ARGH!! They're worse to read than the retardo-jumo size that I was bitching about earlier.

It's insane how Marvel has gone from first to worst over the past ten years or so when it comes to trades.

I was stunned at the quality of it. The artwork and the coloring blends nicely as well. Best NOW premiere thus far, if Avengers and Young are better than this. Oh my heck.
print issues + digital codes from dcbs alongside omnibus/OHC waiting.......trade waiting 3.99 Marvel books is almost out of the question these days.
Also this ^^^ While DC has better sized collections, the waiting is crazy, i only trade wait a few books from DC. If i don't buy it monthly, the chances of me picking up the trade are low.

For the people saying ANXM is uncharacteristically fast-paced for a Bendis book:

Yeah I realized today we'll probably never get another volumed set of Oversizeds the way they did for Daredevil and New X-Men. It's Omnibus or Omnibust.

I'm worried about things like Waid's Daredevil OHC in that it won't see a volume 2.

Four scientists who create a company to change the world. Naturally it all falls apart. Starts in the past, goes to more recenter, ends at now. Lots of different characters, great last page spread.

Those were undoubtedly the very best format. I've found Marvel's Ultimate Collection softcovers to be the next best thing, omnibus collections are just too huge for casual reading.

Read the first 7 issues of Uncanny X-Force. What a great book. I always judged the series as Marvels next cash grab with "cool" characters but the creative team really left an impression on me. So far I have it as a favorite of mine next to Grant Morrisons New X-Men, Kevin Smiths Daredevil and The Killing Joke. I'm stoked to see the rest.
Dude, the good times with that book have barely gotten started where you are. You're about to head into the magnificently amazing Dark Angel Saga.
Looking forward to it. I really like what depth Remender gave these characters. I mean in a big way, he gave deep emotions to Deadpool which is unheard of.
what? no it isnt

It's in my pile. The first issue was pretty meh (especially inking Huat who's idea was that his digitall inked stuff from Ghost Rider was amazing) but I'm still interested.
