"Who out there hasn't had that moment when you've been reading a comic book with your iPod on or the radio on"
Um, me. It distracts me from the reading experience.

Mm, I've turned on music to fit the mood, so I'm in for this.

Same here. I cant listen to anything while reading. All the voices, sounds effects, and even music is in my head.....I'm not crazy.

I'm all about the soundtracks.
Certain soundtracks go along with certain comics. The experience is better... in my head.

Don't think this is for me having my comic reading experience augmented, though the Motion Comics were surprisingly nice.

Adding sound tracks to comics? A digital tv channel? Call me crazy but I get the feeling Marvel is going to cause the comic industry to become to casual and care more about the average Joe like what is happening to the gaming industry.

Project Gamma does interest me, but I'm not sure if they're going to be exclusive to the Unlimited app or not - would probably explain why they're so coll with all those #1's up for free for 48 hours if we can't use the audio in it.
On another note, Comixology is at a crawl right now. Marvel.com doesn't seem to be any better.

So Marvel is giving me 700 books via Comixology? Hell yes.
Your move, DC.Today, I make no demands... no threats! But, one day, I shall voice demands -- and all shall obey them!

I'm an old fashioned reader. I don't care about a digital reading experience, so not a single bit of this is of interest to me. I want my floppy 32 page comic book and I want it without big red AR squares messing shit up.
DOWN WITH DIGITAL!!!

Amen Brother! I don't just read comics, I collect them. Digital dilutes the hobby. Originally Posted by Kevin J
