The Walking Dead comic has an iPad app which lets you download all of the comics for £5.99 each.
It has three stars.
What is probably the best comic of the last decade has three stars.
I read the reviews and all the negative ones are from people complaining about the price. “£5.99! That’s an outrage!”
What they don’t realise is that the actual paper copies, which I buy, are £10.99. So you’re saving £5. Not to mention that Apple takes £1.79 of that price for themselves, too.
Saving £5. In theory, that is the cost of printing the paper. Your money goes to the publisher and the author and the artists and the rest.
One person even said he wouldn’t pay “more than 99p for them”. Really? You only want to pay 99p for an incredible comic which costs £10.99 in the shops?
Do these people really have no concept of value? Saving £5 seems like a bargain to me.
