My Pull List for Week 9 of 2022

I really an not happy with the new Comixology user experience for purchasing issues. I now have to perform an excruciatingly number of clicks and verifications for each of my ‘1-click’ purchases. If I want to purchase 10 comics, I have to go through the process 10 different times.

Who was the brainiac at Amazon who decided that we would throw out the shopping cart concept for digital comic books and force every purchase to go through this horrific ‘1-click’ process?

I suppose it will make my buy fewer comics because I don’t like the added friction of purchasing more than one issue.

Anyway, here’s what I ‘1-click’ purchased this week…
