  • Google Play Music was my favorite of them all. Good UI, good music selection, decent quality, good integration with my Google ecosystem. Then Google did a Google and turned it into YouTube Music.

    Spotify was a decent replacement - the best part was how it has an app on EVERYTHING. I listen to mostly albums so the mediocre playlists and crap shuffling rarely factor in. The worst was funding Joe Rogan, price increases, and paying artists shit.

    Tidal pays artists more, and they have higher quality audio, though the UI is kind of meh. At least I’m not indirectly funding Joe Rogan anymore.









  • Comics will usually be published as individual issues. In the case of Invincible, it was 144 issues.

    Then issues will be rolled up into trade paperbacks (sometimes called TPBs or trades). They usually follow a short story arc. Under the “collected editions” section of the Invincible wiki you can see it list which issues are in each of the 25 TPBs. Depending on which printing, it’s possible to get TPBs that group issues differently.

    Then you’ll get Omnibuses or Omnis that bundle TPBs into a few giant books.
