Hello everyone! Here is your weekly comic store update with 55 new comics this time.
World of Warcraft: Curse of the Worgen continues with issue #4. Gilneas City erupts into violence as the Worgen attack! During the madness, Halford seeks understanding behind who is friend and who is foe, while also dealing with his own animalistic Worgen urge to kill… If you haven’t done so already, make sure you check out our Q&A with the comic creators at http://uk.playstationcomics.com/main/blog/World-of-Warcraft-Curse-of-the-Worgen.html.
Devil’s Due Digital bring us an excellent third series with the adventures of super cool heroine Mercy Sparx, a Devil Girl hired by the big shots in Heaven to secretly take down rogue angels. It’s either succeed and get a free pass through the pearly gates, or fail and risk going somewhere much worse…
Slaughterman’s Creed is a story of the fall and rise of monsters, where an ethical knife-edge is all that separates hero from villain. A human trafficker orders the death of a killer who refuses to breach his professional code. Twelve years later, the trafficker’s world erupts in blood and chaos. Barely surviving and crippled for life, the Slaughterman has returned to put the whole organisation to the blade. With audio commentary from Cy Dethan, one of the creators behind Cancertown and The Indifference Engine!
Missing Archie? He’s back this week with Life with Archie #1-4. The writer of the mega-hit Archie wedding story, Michael Uslan, returns with two new ongoing series, ‘The Married Life: Archie Loves Veronica’ and ‘The Married Life: Archie Loves Betty.’ .
Invincible Iron Man (2008)’s World Most Haunted story arc also continues this week, with parts 6, 7 and 8. Tony risks it all to say goodbye to a friend. Maria Hill arrives in Texas only to find she’s been beaten to the punch and now is outnumbered, outgunned, and out of luck. And time. And hope. Can War Machine change things round?

Nice update, and I am really looking forward to reading Slaughterman’s Creed, but you have abit of issue with that at the minute Pauline. It is missing the audio commentary.
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 3:37 pm by Pauline Martyn
Thank you – and indeed for Slaughterman’s Creek, we are having technical issues with the file but are fixing it as I type, so the correct version will be up shortly. If you have already downloaded it, it’s just a case of downloading it once more at no extra cost. Sorry for the inconvenience!

When you guys release the PlayStation Slate & NGP, please make sure they both support the comic store.
I wanna see my fantastic comic art on a High def OLED screen
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 3:42 pm by Pauline Martyn
That would be cool!

No, thought not.

Bought Slaughterman’s Creed but the option for commentary seems to be missing.
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 3:39 pm by Pauline Martyn
Indeed – fixing it right now, I will let you guys know when the correct file is in. The commentary is great so not to be missed if you can wait a little longer!

Great to see another issue of Azure.
Just read Slaughterman’s Creed, this is really good, great to have it on the store.
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 3:41 pm by Pauline Martyn
Glad you like it – make sure you check out the commentary as well when it’s up!

I don’t think Ultimate Spider-Man is from IDW
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 3:40 pm by Pauline Martyn
I think not – typo which is getting fixed right now.

Ahh, Hooray! 2000AD returns…. sort of. Though now it seems to be lagging 2 months behind retail rather than just one. Can someone from Sony go round and kick Tharg in his lazy green arse so he gets a move on!
Hmm, not a ton of other stuff that I’m interested in, but that’s ok. I’m picky about the stuff I read, though I may look into Mercy Sparx and Slaughterman’s Creed.
Oh, and any idea when we can expect more Hack/Slash?
Keep up the good work!
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 3:49 pm by Pauline Martyn
Quaequam Blag! I don’t know if we’re tough enough to take on Thrag, but I will investigate that – thanks for the feedback.
More Hack/Slash… next week.

Just a question, I never really bothered with Digital Comics, but I keep an eye on it, just for clarification, is this service available to German customers as well, when the answer is no – when?
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 4:47 pm by Pauline Martyn
It is not unfortunately, and it has been decided that we would not release any more stores (including Germany) at present. Sorry.

Thanks for more Spidey. When he didn’t appear last week I kinda paniced.
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 4:48 pm by Pauline Martyn
He’ll be on and off throughout the month, but more is coming fear not!

So, Still asking, still hoping it gets here soon, since it is not over before you give up:
The good old questions:
Release in Scandinavia/rest of EU?
Comics reader for PS3
And Crossregion gifting?
Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 4:48 pm by Pauline Martyn
No news Shadowdragoon, sorry!

*Slaughterman’s Creed fans*: we are having technical issues with #1 and the commentary is not currently within the file. We are working to fix this as soon as possible and will update you here when the new file is in – if you have already bought it (or want to buy it before it is fixed), you will be able to download the new version with commentary at no extra cost. Stay tuned!
Posted on 3 March, 2011 at 10:02 am by Pauline Martyn
It is now fixed! Enjoy the commentary.

This guy^^ should be given honorary access to the comic store for sheer determination
Hope we get some NGP/Comic Store comfirmation soon. I feel a bit wary buying content if the hardware is about to become defunct.

yay, comics. ^_^
more azure, i’m really liking that series.
some more free first issues of some titles too, which is nice, promotes sales, i bet a few people bought more issues of a series after liking the first free issue, i probably wouldn’t have got into azure if i hadn’t tried the first issue.
still dissapointed in dc with the dcu online comic pricing though, but that’s down to them.
lastly, are there any more bundles on the horizon?
i got the tank girl bundle and i should just have finished downloading the zombies vs robots bundle.
it would be nice to see some of the other titles on the store get bundled too.
Posted on 3 March, 2011 at 10:07 am by Pauline Martyn
Allo! Oh yes, more bundles coming don’t you worry! And yep free issues are great to make people discover series.
For the DCOU comic, I believe the initial digital price is the same than print (£3.19 / $2.99) so they are just aligning the price here…

What a bummer… ; ___ ; so much for the service in Germany
1st No Soul Reaver
2nd No Dead Space: Extraction, Dead Space 2: Severed
3rd No Comics…
What’s next? No InFamous 2?

Posted on 2 March, 2011 at 10:10 pm by SeaBeorn
Its nice that the homepage for digital comics still says.
We’re not quite ready for you yet.
We do plan to launch the service in as many countries as possible, we just can’t be certain when. Please check back here now and then, and who knows…

I don’t have a PSP but i wouldn’t mind reading some comics on my big screen TV, so how about a reader of some sort for the PS3 ?
more choice is better you know
Posted on 3 March, 2011 at 10:07 am by Pauline Martyn
I completely agree, I’d love the service to be on PS3 as well – let’s see!

id love to see this coming to the EU store, is there any way we’ll ever get a video and comics store? oh well, this way i can save up some of that money for games :p

@Stonesthrow.
Video and Comics store release in Belgium is like trying to create a government in Belgium. At least one has already admitted they aren’t trying anymore.
