I just wanted to chime in and say that I have greatly enjoyed both the free issue and the ensuing issue (#26), and have added future installments of Digital HIGH SOCIETY to the very small list of "stuff that I can't wait for".
I can't believe there are people griping about the bonus material as being "too much". I love it all, even the invoices.
Well, nobody has to read the bonus material if they don't want to. However, it does add substantially to the download time, so if you're not interested, I can see why that might chafe a bit.
Ha, good point Dominick. For those of us who "can't get enough content", however, just think of how mega-awesome the (eventual) IDW packaged DVD is going to be. And no download time.
I wonder how well it's going so far, in terms of how many people have paid for the second issue.
