I used to dread when a certain friend of mine would call up to ask for help moving into a new place. It wasn't the lifting and moving of furniture, appliances, and untold boxes labeled "Misc." that I wanted to avoid, it was his comic book collection. Long boxes, dozens and dozens of them, and equally as many short boxes, all stuffed to the gills with a lifetime's worth of his weekly addiction. If his entire collection had been digitized and accessible through a company like ComiXology, moving it would have saved strained muscles ... and our friendship. (Just kidding, Andy.)

I love comic books, I have since I was a kid, and I totally get the obsession with collecting them, but I had to give them up years ago. Considering the cost, inconsistent quality, and inconvenience of my local comic book shops shutting down, it was just a hobby I couldn't afford to keep up. I'm reminded of those times today thanks to a new monthly comic book/manga subscription plan from ComiXology, a plan that might just get me back to reading new issues on the regular and catching up on ones I've missed over the years.
