Comixology and Kindle Apps to Merge

I received the following email from Amazon.com earlier today: 

Hello Comics fans,

We’re writing to let you know about upcoming changes to the way that you will access and read your Comixology digital comics, graphic novels, and manga titles. On December 4, 2023, we will be merging the Comixology and Kindle applications on iOS, Android, and Fire OS. Starting today, any books previously purchased on Comixology will automatically be visible in your library on the Kindle app. The upgraded Kindle app experience is available now; however, you may continue reading your books in the Comixology app until December 4, 2023. You can read more about the upcoming changes here. We’ve been hard at work upgrading the Kindle app to deliver the great digital comics, graphic novels, and manga experience you’re accustomed to in the Comixology app, including: Your library in the Kindle app now groups your issues, volumes, and omnibuses from the same series together. The Kindle app now allows you to hide and unhide specific comics, graphic novels, and manga in your library. Titles you’ve already set to hide via the Comixology app will automatically be hidden in the Kindle app. With your complete library of books now conveniently in one place, you can select ‘Comics & Manga’ from the in-app filter menu to quickly find just your comics, graphic novels, and manga titles. Members of Comixology Unlimited, Kindle Unlimited, or Amazon Prime can borrow comics, graphic novels, and manga titles directly in app. Tap the ‘Home’ button from the bottom nav, select the ‘Explore’ button in the top left directly under the search bar, then select the ‘Comics, Manga, and Graphic Novels’ button listed under the ‘More categories’ label. You may also continue to browse for content on the web via www.amazon.com/comixology. You may also continue to read your Comixology books on the web via read.amazon.com. If you prefer to read on your Kindle E-reader, you can go to Your Content and Devices to send individual titles to download on your e-reader. If you encounter any issues accessing your content, or have not yet merged your Comixology account with an Amazon login, please contact Customer Service for support: Go to https://www.amazon.com/hz/contact-us/ Go to ‘Help with Something Else’ and select ‘eBooks, Prime Videos or Music.’ Then click ‘Kindle eBooks/Digital Content/Comics’ and select the subcategory best related to your question. We look forward to continuing to serve you, The Comixology team

Free X-Force Archangel Action Figure Ad

Marvel Digital Comics is offering a free X-Force Archangel action figure when you purchase an annual subscription. He looks cool but I wonder why they did not choose a Captain America action figure for the promo since his movie is coming out this month. I have always liked Archangel but never really cared for X-Force.

Here are some pictures of the Dr Pepper Iron Man 2 twenty fluid ounce bottle:

I entered the code found under the cap, which proclaimed me a winner of a one month free subscription to Marvel Digital Comics. Unfortunately, I could not claim it since I do not have a Visa or MasterCard.

Blog Alert: Flashback Universe

Flashback Universe is where the Golden Age meets the Digital Age. The current post discusses the reason that DC Comics new Doc Savage #1 failed mostly due to Howard Porter's artwork. You will also find downloadable Golden Age comics and original digital comics such as Saturn Knight, The Paladin, Fantom Force and League of Monsters. Flashback Universe is also home of Mister Crimson, a weekly web comic about a masked avenger thrust three hundred years into the future.
