In this week’s Comixology (at Amazon) sales, it’s a new year and the new discounts have gone unannounced.

Where did the New Releases and Sale pages go?

In case you’re having troubles with the new UIX (a LOT of people have been):

Housekeeping: A lot of people seem to be simmering about the lack of a DC holiday sale. We’re not sure what to say. Something could drop at any moment, but we have no idea how likely that is. It seems like there’s a lot of A/B testing going on with pricing in recent weeks.

Marvel’s new sales from last week are still active. Links below or look to last week’s post. The Dark Horse sale also seems to be active, so we’ll keep our list up for now.

But I Really Wanted a DC Sale

OK, OK… we hear you. In the last day we did notice a price drop.

Action Comics (’11-’16) Vol. 2: Bulletproof – Grant Morrison / Rags Morales for $7.99.

We’ve mentioned over the last few weeks that there’s seemed to be an awful lot of A/B price testing going on. We think $7.99 is one of the price points DC is testing for discounted books. At various spots, we’ve noticed a $7.99/$9.99/$11.99/$13.99 spread. Considering DC’s been sporting what they possibly internally refer to as an “everyday discount” of $9.99 on a lot of titles on Amazon, you might call that “upward pressure.” We could be mistaken and things could also change, because it’s been a constant state of flux since April. But when the next DC sale comes, don’t be totally shocked if you see more $7.99 pricing.
