Comixology (at Amazon) Sales: The Batman Day Sale, Avatar: the Last Airbender

In this week’s Comixology (at Amazon) sales, DC returns with a Batman Day sale. Plus, Dark Horse adds discounts on Avatar: The Last Airbender.

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: Much like last week, Marvel appears to be standing pat with the sales unleashed at the beginning of the month. They’re still hanging around. Meanwhile, DC returns to the fold.

The Dark Day Returns?

Batman: Death of the Family   Batman: Year One  

The DC Batman Day Sale runs through Tuesday, 9/30.

Yes, it ends on a Tuesday. (You were expecting a regular schedule in ’25? No, we didn’t think so.)

This is not quite as expansive as previous Batman Day sales. It’s by no means an across the board discount as we’re used to seeing. Whoever set up the sale seems to have something against Detective Comics, because not much of that is discounted. The thicker volumes are at higher price points, this time around. The “Legends”/”Tales of” volumes that are HC in print are excluded this time around. Hey, it’s not like we’re seeing DC sales every week — but we want to orient you to this new reality before diving in.

(Note: they only have the “deluxe” edition of Long Halloween in the sale and it’s still more expensive than the “regular” edition, so we won’t be linking it. Truth, Justice and the American Way!)

Let’s break down some of the highlights by series/volume.

Your classic / pre-New 52 material is largely going to be in:

  • Batman (1940-2011)
  • Detective Comics (1939-2011)… OK, for unknown reasons, the original Bat-title only seems to have a couple discounted volumes

Some more pre-New 52 ongoing titles:

  • Batman and the Outsiders  (’83-’87)- Mike W. Barr / Jim Aparo / Alan Davis; not the best pricing, but the normal HC-influenced pricing is up there
  • Batman: Shadow of the Bat – Alan Grant’s title, w/Norm Breyfogle, early on. (Get more of them in Dark Knight Detective/Caped Crusader)
  • Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight – standalone arcs by different creative teams, but consistently good
  • Batman & Robin (’09-’11) – Initially, a Grant Morrison title w/Damian in tow
  • Batman Incorporated (’10-’11) Vol. 1 – Grant Morrison / Yanick Paquette / Chris Burnham
  • Batman: Streets of Gotham – Paul Dini’s in-continuity series w/Dustin Nguyen
  • The Brave & The Bold – Batman team-ups. Bob Haney, Neal Adams and Jim Aparo were notable creators here. Haney/Aparo was the team on a LOT of comics. (Now if we could get a Nemesis collection…)

One-offs of note:

New 52 and forward, your main titles are:

Post-New 52 one-offs:

You say you miss $0.99 single issues? Surprise, they’re back. At least a handful:

There’s a bit more here if you browse the listing, too.

Unannounced Sales

Avatar: The Last Airbender  Tales From the Crypt  Money Shot

As usual, we’re not sure when these sales are ending, but here’s what we’re seeing:

Dark Horse Discounts Present:

There seems to be quite a bit of unannounced discount activity with Dark Horse this week.

Newly discounted:

Carrying over from last week (at least for now):

And the rest of the line-up:

  • Money Shot – Tim Seely / Sarah Beattie / Rebekah Issacs / Caroline Leigh Layne / Gisèle Lagacé; For some reason this isn’t all on the same page, so Vol. 1, Vol. 2, Vol. 3, Vol. 4

Additionally, it looks like many of the Superman and Red Sonja material from recent weeks is still on sale. The Under $5 Page has the lower priced volumes.
