BKV and Martin launch new digital-only comics, pay what you want for it

Post by XIII »

This is quite new and exciting.

BKV and Marcos Martin (Spider-Man, Daredevil) have a new comics out. The catch is that it's only available digitally throught their website. And it's 32 pages, without ads and you pay what you want for it.
Meaning you can get a 32-pages comics from 2 of the best talent in the industry right now for free.
But I think I'll pay $2.99 for it as soon as I sort out how to pay without creating a paypal account.

The site is here : http://www.panelsyndicate.com

What do you think of the endeavour? I'm all for it.

I'm not buying digital comics (and certainly not for $2.99). Once they Kickstart that shit into a book, however...

You can also give nothing and just get the PDF of the book.

Because I prefer to read comics from paper. I d/l those I'm not willing (or can't afford) to buy and to keep up a bit with events (see: not willing to buy). But the ones I really enjoy, I want to read those from paper.

I thought I'd read that somewhere they intended to do so?
