Recently, Marvel Comics Enterprises made an announcement that rocked the comic collecting world. No longer would you need to dig through bins at your local comic shop to pick up an old issue of a canceled series such as Alpha Flight or a miniseries such as The Hood.
Marvel is now allowing you to read the action as many times as you wish in their new Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited program. Digital Comics are visible on Marvel.com with Flash player, letting you read issues of current and old series without ads and worrying about ripping pages.
For a few years now, Marvel has put up free digital comics to coincide with releases of graphic novels, showcase a moment from a character's past to see how it relates to their current status, or help bring in new readers to books that are having a sales slump. So one has to wonder, are online digital comics the way of the future?
