I tried to get into comics, but honestly I have never known when to start. And I don't really understand how universes and such work. And I don't get the idea of paying for a tiny part of the story issue at a time. D:

The only comic I have read was The Walking Dead and I bought the compendiums.

That's totally understandable! As a long-time Marvel comicbook fan, I spent far too much of my time and money since my teenage years to wish it on anyone else. But of course the downside is that you miss some stunning storylines.

However, in the case of Deadpool (including his history with Cable), it is fairly easy to get the whole shebang in readable format on your computer as there are a lot of online resources (google for Deadpool cbr or cbz files and download CDisplayEx or its Mac equivalent) which make the complete collection available for free. A lot of comic book store owners make those available so people can get hooked on a character and eventually purchase the graphic novel collections: this is how is works nowadays, mostly.

If you don't like torrenting, there are tons of alternatives, like say: ahemhttps://rs.4chan.org/?s=cable+deadpoolahem

Then you get the full story and judge for yourself if you like it enough to get the corresponding compilations sold at much more reasonable prices from your nearest comic book store!

Thank you! I can read those on my kindle at work. :D

Glad to help, it sounds like a great idea as long as you're not on company time! :)

However I have not found a good comics reader for my own Kindle and I have been reduced to moving my collection to pdf: comics in pdf format are perfect for my 8.9" screen, but most of my collection is in cbr/cbz files, so that's a bummer.

Unless... do you have any rec for a good free cbr reader on the Kindle?

Hrm not sure. Check back here tomorrow? I am about to go to bed so I will look then. :)

[kaijinscendre]

Woops. The above anon is me.

No problem, thanks! :D

Okay, I forgot what I did to read CBR files on my kindle but now I remember. I would use Calibre (a free program) and convert the CBR files to MOBI files (which can be read on a kindle). I think I tried PDF but MOBI looks better overall.

I did try some apps that would read CBR but they were all terrible. :|

Is the order the comics are in (in the torrent), the order to read them in?

Thanks!

[(Anonymous)]

Oh, I'll try that, thank you so much... I am a big fan of Calibre, but I never thought of trying the mobi format for comics, even though it's what I use for books! And yes, all the cbr apps are terrible which is why I avoid them too. I suspect it's because they are not really cbr reading apps as much as targeted at people who want to buy/subscribe to current comics.

About order, the naming convention (the filename) indeed indicates the reading order and complete collections usually break down whole runs in sub-folders as appropriate. These are can often be numbered so you know in which order you should read these series.

Deadpool by himself is often a fun read, but the whole madcap and crazy Cable & Deadpool 50-issues run was the pinnacle of both characters in my opinion.
