Install TunnelBear (or another trustworthy VPN) Set it to US Open comixology.eu or comixology.yourcountrytwolettercode Search for Steven Universe (here are two links: EU, FR) Order the issues you need using your credit card (they tell all the time that you can’t use your EU credit card on the .com site, haven’t tested it) Enjoy the completely DRM’d issue that you can only read on the website, I’m too scared to try accessing my acct w/o a VPN.

FAQ (questions I made up that someone is likely to ask)



Why I don’t consider other methods?

While it is true that one can read the issues for free on some pirate websites, I don’t think it is a solution since we don’t support the creators. More importantly, the comics only get there ~1 month after their official release, and I’m willing to pay to get them ASAP.

Why do I need a VPN?



Try accessing the above links from the EU, you’ll probably get this.



How legal is this?



Probably not a whole lot, I have read the French version of the TOS since it was the only ones I cared about and I recapped the points you are breaking with this (what I think is applicable, this is not legal advice) them below the cut on this post. Feel free to use Google Translate to understand how much of a criminal you are. The point is, you are circumventing barriers set up by Comixology and this is very much against TOS.

How can I protect myself?



I’m not a lawyer and I’m not a privacy expert. But I used the following:

A separate Amazon account (which is also probably against TOS, I’m too lazy to check) for Comixology so that if Comixology nukes my account, I can still buy stuff on Amazon



There is no point hiding your real name as it is on you bank card, but you can make up an address, the billing address can only be checked for US cards anyway

Don’t buy stuff you’ll regret losing: I’m not OK with DRM and I know they can take this away at any time, but I also know that soon the newest issue will appear on pirate sites anyway.

You’re already breaking TOS and probably the law, so why not make a “personal copy” using the century-old art of screenshots?



As promised, here are the relevant sections of the French Comixology TOS.

J’ai mis en gras les contraventions (j’ai considéré que ceci est aussi illégal) et en vert les punitions possibles.

As you can see, the TOS does not allow going around the limits imposed on the service.

Thanks to people that helped me get to this point:

TheRealGC13 on reddit helped me a lot. He checked using his US internet that comixology.eu and comixology.fr had the comic.

The lovely SU communities on Discord. I can’t credit everyone as I’m not sure pple would be OK with me posting their handles here, but here are some people that agreed:
