Read Free Marvel Comics

Marvel is entering the digital age and providing a subscription service to read their comic books online.

For a short time there are 250 free sample comics which can be accessed through the site. I’ve tested out the service and the viewing and navigation is really quite well done, reminds me a little of the online magazines at Zinio.

If comics are to survive in the future and remain profitable I believe that digital distribution is the way forward. Sales of magazines and comics appear to be on a decline which is no doubt linked to the rise in popularity of the internet so its good to see Marvel looking towards the future.

UPDATE: The short time mentioned above ended some time ago. Marvel do still provide quite a few free samples for those who don’t want to subscribe or just want to try the viewer.

  2. Charming, are you complaining about the post or just some random grammar impaired twunt with tourette syndrome?

    Maybe you didn’t check the date or the phrase “For a short time”, or maybe you just headbutt the keyboard in frustration, who knows!

  3. Poetry.
