I had always been interested in comic books, but I never really had the time or the money to pick up every issue of something, let alone a place to store it. Marvel.com has come out with just the thing for me though, and maybe you too.It's called Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, and basically... it rocks. It has just about every comic book series from origins to somewhere in the new millennium on it. I can read the original 1963 X-men stuff, or go as recent as some Civil War and House of M goods. And when I get tired of that, I can go read some Planet Hulk.
I haven't quite figured out their update schedule. They have a wealth of information to put up on the site and I imagine that keeps them mighty busy. I also think they won't post something until they feel it is no longer viable to sell in paper form. I'm not complaining though, there is enough to keep me busy there for years. There is a lot of stuff there, but there is also a lot of stuff missing too.
For just $10 a month or $60 for a years subscription you can get all this on marvel.com. The interface needs a little work but for what comes to $5 bucks a month for the year pass, it's more then worth it. I have read five times that in paper comics already, and thats only the tip of the iceberg.
