NOTE! I am aware there's an audio glitch around 5:53 and I have fixed that for the final version. Hope you like it!

Amazon's digital comic book app, ComiXology, just received an update that made everything bad now. From comic book readers to comics creators,  the landscape of digital comics is worse for everyone except Jeff Bezos' wallet. Let me rant a little as I explain the history of ComiXology.

As someone who had been trying to get back into comics who had found the lack of physical stores in my area (and simply the cost of purchasing numerous back issues to get caught up) an obstacle, I had been trying to assess the options such as the Marvel/DC services and Comixology. It's sad to hear of all the damage that has been done to a once fairly lauded (if flawed) service that made comics so accessible. Thank you for explaining it so well (not just in depth/nuance, but in an entertaining manner).
