Crohn’s. Diverticulitis. Blood clots. Hernias. It’s amazing I’ve even reached fourteen years of doing the site at this point. So yes, I forgot a few years and have been getting caught up on anniversary “best of” posts. And yet, here we are. Heading into year 15 of this site because I’m possibly an idiot and because I just feel like I did something worthwhile. Now I get to cover my favorite articles from November 16, 2022 through November 15, 2023. That means while I’m proud of some of the articles I wrote this week, I’ll save them for next year’s anniversary.
If I don’t forget.
For those of you coming in on this one, back in 2008 I was sent to the hospital–twice–with Crohn’s Disease, a digestive disorder that basically means the immune system in my gut has become the Punisher without what little moral code Frank Castle has. While recovering I discovered numerous blogs discussing comics and other media, and began to notice that my comments were getting into paragraphs of length. So I said the heck with it, took the “BW” from the comics I used to make in my teens, and BW Media Spotlight came about. It’s all in the about section so let’s get on with this. It’s time to finally get this year’s best articles a second chance to show their stuff.

Well, they finally went and did it. Amazon pulled the plug on the life support of the very project they tore apart in the first place.
Word came into the email boxes of Amazon and ComiXology users that the ComiXology app was being shut down, something they’ve been trying to do almost since they bought the company in 2014. Digital comic fans fought hard to keep it going but Amazon didn’t seem to care. They wanted…well, I’m not sure what Amazon wanted and that’s kind of the problem. What was Amazon’s end goal with taking over and tearing apart ComiXology. The assets, the same way Maker Studios did with Blip? They don’t need it. I’m sure they could get a deal to digitally distribute Marvel and DC, though they use their own apps, and smaller publishers already use more than one service. Fans had to beg to restore the Guided View, the feature that made ComiXology stand out over other readers and sites along with the fan forums and review sections, plus the ability to download DRM-free versions of some of the comics. If I had known that was going away I would have grabbed the ones in my library while I had a chance.
So they weren’t after the app, could have gotten the licenses on their own, and shut down all the comic fan friendly features. I ask again…why did they want ComiXology?
