I've been meaning to ask this of the crowd for a while, but I keep forgetting. So, here we are, in a whole new thread just for my question.
I haven't read any of the new comic series yet, because living in sub-suburban North Carolina severely restricts my access to comic shops (and card shops, but that's another story), but I noticed I can get the digital versions on my Kindle. Are they worth downloading? I mean, I'll probably end up getting them at some point in some format, but I'm trying to gauge whether I should pull the trigger sooner rather than later.
The story is alright. It's not particularly interesting though. What keeps me on reading though is the investment I've already reading from the first issue to the current one, and I want to know what happens regardless. Plus, promos. Most people bother to buy the books for the promos.
Yeah, that's one of my reservations about going digital--no promos. With the actual books, at least there's the promo to soften the blow if a particular issue is less-than-stellar.
I've been reading them since about issue 4 or so, and in my opinion they're pretty dull.
Too much of the time is spent recounting what happened last time, there's too many issues that ultimately end up being filler (that whole thing with the giant who likes to collect things) and it has an incredibly annoying habit of narrating what is going on in the panel.
Most of my appreciation and continued money spent on the thing is because it occasionally has nice little "meanwhile..." tidbits that help fill in blank spaces in other parts of the story, like Dack meeting Sorin or describing what Ravnica was like after the guilds got their groove back, but before Niv goes bananas digging up the maze.
Ultimately, if it were not Magic related, I would not be interested.
Give it a shot, you could do worse, and my opinions might not be universal.
I'd agree with Uii. I started reading the comics and while I don't think of amazing by any means, they are good enough and I have already "bought in" to them. I'm not sure how I would feel about getting a bunch of them and rading them all at once because, as Thoctar says above, they usually spend a couple pages recapping the last issue, which is really annoying.

I will also say, the release schedule is atrocious. I don't think a single issue has been on time.
