Marvel gets it but DC doesn't
Okay so there has been something on my mind for a while when it comes to digital comics and the ideas that some publishers use or don't use. One of the ideas I'm talking about is the idea of bundling issues into one graphic novel or as they are called in Comixology, Collected Editions. Marvel comics as well as IDW use this idea for their comic books in comixology and other digital comic apps but other heavyweight comic publishers like DC refuse to do the same thing and I believe it's not right.
I believe it's not right because as a comic book nerd I like it when the issues of a story are in one section or collected edition. An example of this would be the X-Men Messiah storyline when the mutants were on the verge on extinction until Hope Summers was born. That story has parts ALL OVER the X-Men universe that instead of keeping the issues separate, they combined them together to make a graphic novel and I like that because it saves time trying to switch from one comic book to the next, and it also saves money just as well.
Allow me to elaborate on this real quick for a moment. The price for book one of Uncanny X-Force (which has issues 1-4) is $6.99 plus tax on comixology, but the four issues that are in that collected book are $1.99 each, Which means that if you were to buy the single issues it would cost you $10.73 plus tax. With that in mind and the economy slowly getting back on its feet, a wise choice is to purchase the collected book instead of the individual issue and marvel understands that sometimes saving money is always good. Another example of this is Marvel Mondays on comixology which is a certain comic book series or event are selling their issues for 99 Cents each which is another great deal for the consumer.
Now DC? They don't understand that yet because they don't sell collected editions which means that when it comes to storylines and story arcs, you will be buying individual issues and you will be switching from one comic book series to another to get to the other part of the story arc. One example is Green Lantern's "War Of The Green Lanterns" storyline because the issues are scattered all over the place it's absolutely crazy why DC doesn't decide to put it all together as one collected edition and sell it for a cheaper price than to have their customers at more to get all of the individual issues.
There are multiple examples of DC comics that would benefit from a collected edition book and one of them is the Critically Acclaimed Storyline "Knightfall" which introduced Bane and the classic and memorable moment in batman history which is Bane Literally Breaking Batman in half. There are so many issues and its not just in the Batman series but also has some issues in the Detective Comics comic series. That is one book that I would love to pick up and read but only if there was a digital version of the graphic novel.
I say all this because as someone who has spent time and money to read these stories, I think it would be a great idea if every comic book publisher started making collected editions of their books. It would save time, money, and it would definitely make the consumers very happy and satisfied. Not just because they get to read these stories but also because they would be saving money in the process just as well.
So I propose that us as fans of these comics should come together and raise our collected voices and let these publishers know that they all need to start making digital collected editions of their comic books.

Really TNA?
TNA Wrestling announced yesterday its plans to launch a film production company, with its inaugural release, No Holds Barred 2, set for release in late-2012.
“TNA is much more than a wrestling company — it’s a global multimedia entertainment juggernaut,” TNA president Dixie Carter said in a press release.
“The launch of TNA Films is the next giant leap in the evolution of the TNA empire, and what better film to start with than the long-awaited sequel to No Holds Barred?”
Shooting of No Holds Barred is scheduled to begin next month, with both Hulk Hogan and Tom “Tiny” Lister reprising their roles from the original film.
The sequel will reportedly pick up where the 1989 original left off — Zeus (Lister) seeks revenge on Rip (Hogan) by kidnapping Rip’s little sister and selling her into sexual slavery on a mysterious island in the South Pacific. Rip must infiltrate the island’s heavily guarded fortress and survive a gauntlet of challenges to free his sister before battling Zeus inside a six-sided ring.
TNA Films is rumored to be considering a number of scripts for future productions including Suburban Commando: Second Strike, and Mr. Nanny Returns.
Some entertainment industry insiders have criticized TNA for relying too heavily on Hulk Hogan’s star power at the expense of young up-and-coming talent. Dixie Carter has dismissed such criticism, saying “we give fans what they want, and clearly they want Hogan.”
