      About time since the AF Classic Vol 1 TPB has been out of print for like past 5 years. Now new fans can read these issues.

      That's cool... but I hope they keep going with the series.

      $1.99 for digital...or I can go to the local Vintage Stock and find them all (or most of them) in the bargain bins.

      And when the poles shift polarity and all your fancy interweb cloud content is, well...vanished into the ether, I'll be reading my hard copies and listening to early 1900's jazz on my hand crank phonograph player!

      I don't buy digital, either, but I can see the advantages. Less storage space, for one thing. I know I love being able to carry my entire music collection in my pocket.
      (... and yet, I still insist on owning the whole thing on CD, if possible.)

      Why do you read your hard copies on your hand crank phonograph player?

      I love the concept, because it gets the stories of Alpha Flight out to more potential fans.
      But for me personally, I still enjoy the weight of an actual book in my hands and physically turning the pages. But... that's just me.

      Oh no... it's not just you.
