Assembled, Zipped, Transferred And Downloaded: News From Digital

By Tom Spurgeon

* Anthony Karcz does a consumer's analysis of Marvel Unlimited and an equivalent service offered by comiXology. I want to do the opposite of whatever is suggested at article's end for that intrusive audio/video.

* it seems silly that in 2016 a gay character in a digital comic should be an issue. That doesn't strike me as a diversity issue as much as a reality issue. My guess is that people that object to people being gay have found a way to shift the issues just enough they can pretend not to be bigoted. It pains my gums to be typing about the orientation of fictional characters as if there's anything to discuss -- except perhaps embarrassment that it took so long for this kind of thing to begin to become more routine. If the representation of a fuller reality or the reflection of a fictional concept is an upsetting deal to you, now matter how you construct that objection to slip out of looking like a douchebag, please reconsider your life priorities. You'll love longer.

* finally, the talented Evan Dahm is impressed.
