I could see myself doing this someday when I want go back and read all of Amazing Spider-Man or something like that.

Much better than DC.

Hmm, is this what #1 was?

This will please many although it does not excite me.

Yet.

Im quite interested in this. Certainly not a bad price for unlimited access to so much material.

I wish I could conveniently read them on my desktop. You know, like I've been paying to do......

Yes, this worries me. This article says nothing about reading the comics on the computer. I still have 6 months left on my subscription and absolutely no desire to by an ipad. Chances are they won't get rid of reading on the PC, but there is also a chance that I'm up shit creek.

Hopefully someone on here can answer some questions.

Does the app have any lag issues?
Does it have glide view?
Are the comics offered in HD for iPad?
Do you consider it on par with comixology's app?
Any issues you see?

I'll wait to hear some reviews but this is kind of what I've been waiting for to read some back issues of Marvel! It is a higher price though than the former offering isn't it?

Lack of widescreen viewing on the comixology app makes it a horrendous experience.

Benefits of reading widescreen:

I don't think so I just think Marvel has had sales for it for 30-50% off.

I believe the price has always been $5 per month if you pay for a year. Considering that you can "borrow" 6 books at a time through their Comixology app, its a much better value now.
