Welcome to the first of a weekly glance at some the digital comics and magazines I’ll be picking up around the web.
First up is Archie comics. Consistently delivering fun comics at great prices, they get at least one purchase from me a month.
Archie #628 Archie meets KISS part 2 is must read comic book fun.

DARK HORSE COMICS
The new android version of the DH reader doesn’t offer in app purchases yet but it’s very smooth and works perfectly on my new tablet. If you weren’t turned off by all the negative back and forth from DH and shop owners give it a shot.
Only one book you might want to pick up this week, I like to wait for the bundles which usually group 2 to 5 books together with a few dollars off.
STAR WARS CRIMSON EMPIRE III EMPIRE LOST #3 (OF 6)

DC COMICS
If these darlings of the digital comic world weren’t ‘Drawing the line at $2.99’ I don’t think they’d be in the position they are now. It seems I’ve dropped a few books from the New 52 but I’ll give them all a try again around issue 6 when new creative teams kick in and give my reasons for staying or going.
AQUAMAN #4
FLASH #4
I VAMPIRE #4
VOODOO #4

IDW
I’m loving all the G.I. Joe craziness and I know nothing of this title so I’m going to jump in and see what happens.
DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS #14 (is ridiculously priced at 3.99 so issue 13 will get the glance.)

HACK SLASH #11 Always awesome horror comic, jump in anywhere!
WITCH DOCTOR RESUSCITATION ONE SHOT If you missed the first 4 issues of my new favorite book check this out I’m sure it won’t disappoint. You can also get the issues 0-4 with bonus pages for only $5.99.

Marvel
I see no reason in paying an extra dollar for a 23-25 page digital comic book. Marvel has priced their paper books reasonably but carrying the price over is absurd. Until this is fixed they won’t get much business from me.
FF #13 $2.99 and worth every penny.

That’s it this week. I have a hard time figuring out what’s going to be available digitally and where to find it. If you’ve got any tips feel free to drop me a line: ken at bigshinyrobot dot com
