The other canon Star Wars comics are the 2017 Vader series, Darth Maul, Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir, Mace Windu, the Cassian and K2 one shot, Star Wars Adventures (IDW), Captain Phasma, the Korean webtoon adaptation of the OT available for free on Line Webtoon, the Lost Stars manga, the European (now just German) Rebels comics, the TFA and RO adaptations by Marvel, and the PT/OT/TFA adaptations by Disney-Lucasfilm Press (which first came out in Brazil or something for some reason).

Funny how if you select Best Selling Comics and Graphic Novels on the left Marvel's Darth Vader jumps to #1 and Marvel 1602 is suddenly in the top 20.
Ending was beautiful. Easily my favorite of the comics I've bought and read so far.

i'm only 20 pages into Squirrel Girl Beats Up The Marvel Universe and it is amazing.
I completely forgot that Ryan North wrote it. I love his work with Dinosaur Comics and The Machine of Death.

These books are all the canon stories, meaning they take place in the current Disney canon and they are good. There is also the canon Darth Maul story as well.

Just grabbed the Hickman Fantastic Four and FF collections. Money's a bit tight, so I'm holding off on grabbing Dark Reign: FF or anything else of interest right now.

Is the entire run of punisher max worth it, or just the ennis volumes (vol1-4?)

If that quarterly rumour is true, I think it's time to add everything I want to a wish list so I'm prepared for next time.

Thinking about my free book, these are what I'm considering:
Punisher Max Vol. 1
Daredevil: Born Again (though I've read it before)
Captain Marvel Vol. 1
Dark Phoenix Saga
Squirrel Girl Vol. 1
Marvels
Annihilation Book One (another I've already read)
Doctor Strange Vol. 1
Power Man and Iron Fist Vol. 1
Perhaps one of Star Wars books (Poe Dameron, maybe?)

Looks like some book prices have increased a little, like a few volumes of Hickman's Fantastic Four.
I'd get whichever costs the most

weird, were the initial prices price errors? or the sale just ended and we are only left with a lesser sale?
some things are more expensive than they were before.

Yeah, it looks like the prices have gone up.
Yeah Prices have gone up on most, a few things left with lowish prices
I'd say it's pretty much over, get what you can thats still cheap, I noticed one of the Bendis avengers book i had on a wishlist was about £1.80 i think has now gone up to £4.88
Ah well fingers crossed for the next end of quarter sale

For the super casual like me, these are not "go crazy" prices anymore. I get for others who follow this hobby $5.50 a volume is nice. I occasionally catch up on Walking Dead at the library, but to buy it'd have to be a box at a garage sale. That's what this sale felt like. I'm fine waiting until next time, and they don't have to worry about losing sales from me because before this they got literally nothing.
What he says here:
But most of these aren't available in TPB/book form yet so weren't part of this sale except for Darth Maul which I thought wasn't available yet in TPB but see now it is so I'm kinda bummed out
. Unless I'm missed any others though everything else in that list is either not in TPB yet, an adaptation (which I'm not interested in personally), or the Cassian/K2 and C3P0 one-shots. I wound up grabbing the C3P0 one-shot last minute since it was recommended to do so after I made my post.My goal was to pick up everything that was on sale (aka a book/TPB) that was "canon"/post-Marvel acquisition outside of adaptions, and outside of missing out on Darth Maul and skipping the Cassian/K2 one-shot I think I succeeded?
Same here. I will admit this has me keeping an eye out for things like this a bit more though and next time they do this I will probably grab some other non-Star Wars stuff.
I imagine it's a pretty fine line for them to walk though.
Edit: Unrelated, but I got the code for a free book from Amazon with whatever my first purchase was here. I have none of the books in the list (except for the Star Wars ones obviously
), and I have no idea what to get. I read comics growing up so I've read/am familiar with the older stuff like Secret Wars, the older X-Men stuff etc. Based on talk in the thread I should maybe grab Punisher Max 1?What he says here:

Here is a link for all your needs regarding Star Wars comics from 2015-Present(official canon run)
Obviously almost all of the 2017 stuff is still on-going so the trade collections should hit sometime later.
Yup, looking at that list it seems like I only missed the Darth Maul TPB in terms of this sale. Also some lists/sites are saying that the C3P0 one-shot was included in the Shattered Empire TPB but that's not mentioned at all in the Amazon description as well as some other places. If it's in there I'm going to have wasted $2 buying that separately

Whew, glad the sale finally ended. Was seriously considering pulling the trigger on all of Ultimate Spider-Man.
(Note to self: Check back in late December)
(Note to self: Check back in late December)
I've never read anything on comixology before but I picked up a load of books because I couldn't pass up the sale. I have a couple of questions about reading order. I got all of the Squirrel Girl books plus the one-shot, does that have to be read at a certain time or is it not really connected to the main run?
And for Jason Aaron's Thor, do the Unworthy and Jane Foster books run concurrently? As in, do you have to alternate issues like with Hickman's Fantastic Four/FF to follow the story or can they be read separately? I still need to finish the original run with Last Days Of Midgard but I just want to be ready before I get there.
I'm excited to dive in, I picked up some things I've been meaning to get around to for a while but the physical trades always seemed a bit pricey.

you have to alternate FF/F4 at some point
its
dark reign
fantastic four
ff/f4 alternating every issue

Sale ended already? Guess nothing for me after all.
Different artist that isn't Bagley.
Anyways, happy that the sale is over I guess, to prevent me from spending anymore money. Went a bit nuts.
Oh no I've already read all of Hickman's FF stuff. Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant does Jason Aaron's Thor stuff work the same way with The Mighty Thor/Unworthy Thor or if they can be read individually one after the other.
The free book I picked was Infinity with thanos on the cover. It's the most expensive free book they offered and it had the most pages.

Any books still has the low prices? Getting my paycheck in a few hours...
The change in artstyle is just really drastic and looks pretty bad, imo.
Here is a snip of a typical (goofy) face of Peter Parker in previous volumes (vol4 specifically is where I snipped this:
Peter parker face in vol 9.
All the other characters get similar funny reworks.
Tom King, author of The Vision wrote a DC book: The Omega Men
it is brilliant. Kyle Rainer was a Green Lantern. Then he became a super cop version: a White Lantern. Then the story starts. It is wholly self contained and every bit as good as The Vision.
Thank you! I'll check it out.
Ahh yes i have seen it happen when they change Artists, like when i was ready Silk, and I was used to one look, and then they changed her face and this was I think during just one run (or maybe it was because of a crossover event) but i swore it was like one or two issues one look, then another, so i checked and sure enough the Artist had changed.
But wow, It almost looks like a Humperdido (Preacher comics) version of Peter Parker.

So I bought Dark Reign: Fantastic Four and like six volumes of Fantastic Four and four volumes of FF.
Based on the Hickman FF Reading Order chart, it looks like the story alternates between Fantastic Four and FF issues at one point?
Yes, this is a first world problem, but just making sure I understand this: at some point, I will read an issue in a Fantastic Four volume, then change to one of the FF volumes to read another issue, and then switch back to a Fantastic Four volume to read the next issue, and so forth?
I am lazy and I like opening up a book and reading it end to end, but if the best way to read his run is to alternate issues between multiple collections, so be it!

it is annoying but it is the ONLY way to make sense of the story.
