All over this.
Went on holiday a few weeks back and read Wytches, Trees and Stray Bullets from a previous humble bundle. First time I'd ever read a comic and I was blown away. I'm on the lookout for a 12" HD tablet now if anyone can recommend one.

Yeah I went for years without reading a comic before the humble bundles, now I buy every one and I've even picked up adaptations of some of my favourite authors books(Arronovitch and Butcher), I also really enjoyed the Star Trek comic bundle they did the recent ones are excellent, and the Fathom series is great. You still couldn't pay me to read a Marvel or a DC those are just convoluted nonsense still best suited to teenagers, but Dark Horse, Image etc. have proper comics and graphic novels for adults and they are fantastic.
As to a good reader well it's pricey, but I have a surface book and it is absolutely the perfect thing for reading these, although you would probably do just as well with a cheaper but still good regular surface, the book just edges out because it has that amazing screen.

You don't really need a 12'' tab. I read fine on my 10.1'' Nexus 10 with comicrack as it scales the comics to fit. Avoid ipads as the aspect ratio doesn't work that well with comics.

I disagree...been using Ipads for years (Original Ipad, Ipad 2, Ipad 3, Ipad 4 and now Air 2 lol)...only thing I read them on (retina screens make all the difference).

The point I'm making is the aspect ratio, 4:3 on an ipad, doesn't suit comic book reading that well.
Also, retina is just marketing bs - any screen with a ppi of over 300 could be considered retina, Apple or otherwise.

(Rolls eyes) There's always one who likes to hate (apple, Microsoft, Android, Zx Spectrums etc) rather than provide constructive feedback. The point I was making was that the aspect ratio has no impact on comic reading at all on an Ipad. Been doing it for years, not bought a paper version since (bar the judge dredd collection for the kids) and as a comic reader of over 35 years I'm pretty qualified to have an opinion.
The retina comment was to let people know that it's a great experience these days not 'buy apple'...Although now to bring karmic balance to the universe I have to say 'Buy Apple' Lol

Oh, now I understand! Anything YOU say is constructive but when others have an opinion that differs from yours it is seen as Fan boyism or Apple bashing. May be use 1 of those ipads of yours to look up what ' constructive feedback' means.
