Anybody read the Gladiator digital comic at marvel.com?

[amazoniansrule]

it's supposed to go into detail about his origin and his race of people in general. Not gonna pay 4.99 for an exclusive digital. So if anyone has the 411 on the issue could you please spoil it?

How on earth can they justify charging 5 bucks for a digital comic? They've just had to upload the bloody thing, there is no printing and shipping costs attached so why is it more than a hard copy tangible comic?

OMG I objected to the principle of paying for comics I can't hold anyway, but $5 that's like what £3.50 ish?
Jesus wept that takes the mick!

How on earth can they justify charging 5 bucks for a digital comic? They don't. They charge $5 for monthly access to every digital comic in the program.

It's a great deal if you're interested in reading material from the archive. On the other hand, if you're only interested in the new stuff . . .

What Explitive Deleted said.

It's a tremendous service (despite a clunky interface) and saying that a single digital book is $5 is merely an attempt by an anti-digital guy to create anger and resentment for new methods of distribution...

OK first off don't call me anti anything,you don't know me, so do not put words where they don't belong. That issue is exclusive to digital since that comic is not being printed on paper. Next time read what I wrote, and stop making a judgement call based on your narrow perception.

It's coming out on paper in July, actually.

So, anyone want to actually tell us what the hell happened in this oneshot?

BTW, would this be collected in the future War of Kings trade?

One, it's "judgment."

Two, the Internet is serious business.

Three, you made a clearly misleading statement about the book (that it was $4.99 for AN exclusive digital--AN as in single--clearly because someone was obviously confused by what you said) so I didn't put words anywhere. The comment was unnecessary (because it IS being printed on paper) and disdainful so you tell me ... Does that even remotely sound like a person without an agenda?

I think that just about covers it. Thanks.

Its pretty much Gladiator going "Hrrrmm, do I step in front of this bullet" with a flashback to childhood with a nice reveal at the end.

Thought I'd just give you a highfive for that post to.

I'm a very satisfied customer of Marvel Digital Comics.

But all I really care about is the 25 new titles a week and the library.

The exclusive content doesn't seem to stay exclusive for very long, and is mostly just filler anyway.

I'd love to subscribe to Marvel digital but they don't take Discover Card, so they're mssing out on some money.
