There's a few i would like to recommend -

i. Earth 638 at Atria Shopping Center - friendly service but not alot of choice - have to subscribe to them to get your mothly fix.

ii. Mind Shop at Centerpoint - fairly big current and back issue - they have bargain bin

iii. Comic Corner in SS15 USJ - Tons of back issue and current issue. The biggest inventory i've seen so far. but they still sell back issues at cover price.

I was reading this ..

The same thing happening in the US also, if you read CBR, there's always news about comics shop closing down.

There's no such things as free downloadable comics. The release of TPB are based upon if the single issues are selling well. If the single issues or a particular story arc didnt sell well, then i doubt the publisher will release a TPB for it.

http://www.multiversitycomics.com/2010/02/...k-pirating.html

I know about the scanned comics - got lots of torrents site - yes, that i know.

Just read bout the link i posted about comic piracy.

bout the TPB, DC just collect story arcs - not continuous issues. Marvel collects continuous issues (like ASM TPB that i bought). But not all series have the TPB, HC treatment.

From CBR forum i read that the top selling comics only selling 100K plus copies compared to 300K copies ten years ago. Titles with less than 20K copies sold - will be gone. Comics are now sold in specialty shops, infact in the US, its hard to find news stand that is selling comics. So what do they do to compensate? Marvel is pushing for USD3.99 cover price, most of DC still have USD2.99 but imho they will follow suit.

With the price hike, again from i read at the CBR forums, people are cutting down their pull list (I'm cutting mine also). People there predicted once digital sales are profitable (both DC and Marvel now offer comics online)- they will convert to digital completely.

I know this an expansive hobby, but i know friend who only buys 2 title per month(thats less than RM30 per month), the rest he just read from wikipedia and forums. If you want preview, DC and Marvel now offers the first 5 page that is viewable online.

good for you that you still buy TPB - but those people who torrent the comics and didnt buy the physical copies?

i've read the first part. people been complaining how the way quesada wrote on how peter missed the wedding Lolz

I've no qualms over people buying TPBs, but to those who only read thru scans and didnt buying anything in the end.

Like I said, Marvel and DC offers 5-page preview every week, just head over to their site.

I bought a few before. I bought Superman/Batman.

Oh btw, i've just bought Batman : Under the Red Hood Bluray. The story is based on the return of Jason Todd story arc in Batman comics in 2006. The animation is quite good, also the voice acting. I recommend buying the movie
