More Kindle About Comic Books and Cheap

I just got an email from Amazon offering me a free e-comic book collection (aka graphic novel).  They offered me a choice of several, none of which were crappy, but when I spotted the first volume of Tom King's Vision (Little Worse Than a Man), I didn't have to think anymore about it. That's a book I've been meaning to get around to for some time now, having become a Tom King fan along with the rest of the world when I happened upon The Sheriff of Babylon. And I didn't think much more about it until I was checking my email and saw a receipt for my "purchase":

$2.20? What the fuck? On Comixology, the same collection is priced at $10.99 $6.99. And of course, Comixology is Amazon nowadays, as we've previously discussed. So that's why you should always check both of them before you e-purchase comics. 

But wait! I decided to see what else was to be had for a pittance in the comic book lists of Kindle, and lo, there was-eth a shit-eth load-eth. For example, if you're the kind of nerd who needs to own an e-version of The Complete Strikeforce: Morituri . . . and I just may be one of those kinds of nerd . . . well, you can have it for $11.40 (pre-tax). That's 1,056 pages of comic book, man. And there's lots of other stuff as well, but I haven't got time to discuss it right now--I've got some Vision to read. And maybe some Strikeforce: Morituri, too. But you really should go pick yourself out something nice, y'know? This can't possibly last for long.

ADDENDUM:

Case in point. I decided that I really needed more Srikeforce: Morituri in my life, so I purchased Volume 1 for $4. I was going to go ahead and buy the other two volumes right then, but I decided I would read the first one through first, just to be sure. Started reading. Liked it a lot. Fell asleep. Woke up this morning and shortly after went online to buy Volumes 2 and 3, and this is what I found:

So it's not like I can't still have them . . . I just have to pay a lot more for it. A total of $28.50 for all three as opposed to yesterday's $11.40 deal. And if you check on Comixology . . . as I did . . . you'll see that that's still a pretty good deal:

 

A total price of $36.97. And that's still a "sale price." The Comixology list price would be $56.97.

Man. Wish I'd gone for the whole enchilada when I had the chance. But these things usually come back around if you're patient, so I might could do that.

Or I might just take the hit and learn my lesson for next time. But hey, I was right about one thing: I said that it couldn't possibly last for long.

UPDATE: And today I noticed that Marvel was having a big sale on Comixology, and when I checked it out I found volumes 2 and 3 of Strikeforce: Morituri for 99 cents each. Holy fuck! I guess it pays to wait sometimes.

99 cents!!!
