Methinks you're being too kind to Platinum. If you can't read comics easily, what's the point of the site---other than as a store with previews? And even that will fail because of the obnoxious ads. Will respect your wishes about the headline, though. I've changed it. Thanks, and I hope you'll drop by here again. David Good hearing from you, Aaron. Methinks you’re being too kind to Platinum.

More disapproving than anything else. It seems like bad press for Platinum to make a move like this in the light of their past troubles. Probably my biggest gripe is the fact that they are charging for public domain comics that can be downloaded for free from sites like http://goldenagecomics.co.uk/.
