readcomiconline is still kill...
have you considered visiting your local comic shop?
Yeah, it's been like that for quite some time
>>154843990I only buy physical after confirming whether I like a thing or not.
>>154843990no. ive bought physical for over 14 years and recently gave up. i recently got a tablet and reading digitally is just convenient especially using apps that bundle all the free read online sites into one app. i sold all my physical they were nice to have and i had sentimental value there but i needed space in my house and the resulting money was nice. as for today's comics there isn't anything really that i like enough to buy physically and once you've gotten rid of a comic collection it feels kinda useless to buy things today cause they would be lone .
>>154843990i want to read old comics and trashy pre-2000 indieslop
There's batcave.biz.
>>154843971I have never used it and I've read thousands of comics.
>>154843990I don't have one
>>154843990im not spending 200 bong dollars on 6 issues of an obscure wildstorm comic from the early 2000s
>>154843990I don't live in BurgerLand.
>>154843990>have you considered visiting your local comic shop?There isn't a shop that sells new American comics anywhere in my country. They all have to be imported at a ludicrous cost (like $40 per issue).
bump
>>154843971They moved to a new domain, been using it all afternoon.
https://x.com/imaginalshiv/status/2075591650173128802
>>154843990It closed down. In fact the bookstore near me closed down too. The next place that has comics is either the library or a 3 hour walk away.
Batcave is down too. It's over.
>>154844338>batcave.biz.it's catalog is smaller and it's not as reliable
>>154844338Which now requires registration. I’m not going to give people my information
>>154847278No it doesnt
>>154843990NTA I buy all my comics physically, but it's really convenient being able to pull pages for posting during discussion here.
>>154843990The nearest LCS is three hours away.
a travesty
>>154847278>>154847683I only see the login screen if I have my VPN on.
This is why gatekeeping is a must on everything.
Guess you'll just have to pay for comics again, goy. Only G-d's Chosen People deserve free stuff.
>>154843971>>154843998Batcave still works... mostly.>>154843990I live on Guam. I don't know if we still have a comic shop here. But the major bookstore still carries trade paper back collections of American comics as well as plenty of manga.
Are you guys all newfags?
>>154851159Been here since 2012, kiddo.
>>154843971Daredevil can't read>>154843990I've considered it but it's run by a convicted sex offender and you know it's not like the publishers give a shit about that or they'd be insisting on retailer background checks
>>154844303Look, it’s that comic that’s only remembered for the huge ass.
>>154844338I like batcave but there's no compressed mode so pages can take quite a bit to load
>>154843971have you considered own your own local server and perform piracy?
>>154843971You were my perfect friendRight there until the endI'm forever missing youUntil we meet againCan't explain this painNever felt like thisReadComicOnline don't you knowThat you'll be truly missed
>>154851700t. Dumbass who can't pirate like an actual human being
Ugh.Batcave is not as good as this site.
let's make our own
>>154846443link?
>>154851684i pirate of course but the free read sites are incredibly useful for when you want to smaple things, find new things to read and thus download or you are otherwise not able to access what youve downloaded for some reason. i mostly read on my tablet so in the off chance i dont have it with me having my own downloaded copies is useless
>>154843990
>>154853918It's possible if we orquestate a common effort through a decentralized friendly protocol.The problem is that in many western nations, p2p technology is strongly monitorized and criminalized, that's why the VPN market got a strong surge.
RCO dying for good is finally radicalizing me enough to just become a data hoarder. fuck it
>>154855523Based.The introduction of the concept "data hoarder" was a part of a digital psyop to nurture the dependency of Software as a Service between the common people.
>>154855551i already began my own media server for movies/tv 2 years ago but the comic sites i thought were invincible so why bother? i have learned my lesson these corporations will know my wrath
Pirate everything. Backup everything.
>>154843990>walk in>HEY WANT A PULLLIST??>walk out
>>154857115will we ever reach a point where corporations get desperate and have to rely on private hoarders such as ourselves if they lose their archives? would be a funny role reversal
>>154857164These big corporations are pushing for artificial scarcity. That's why they do Everything as a Service. They want us to consume data paying licenses to have a time limited right to access the digital assets, but never actually owning the data.Now what you indicate is very interesting. In a timeline where they win, what would happen if these companies suffer from a complete shutdown? Their datacenters suffering a massive attack, kinetic total destruction. What would happen to a society without education about ownership and extremely dependent of third-party infrastructure?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_FrQnQv0Vw
>>154843990I've only ever had neutral to bad experiences with comic/hobby shops.
