In a move designed to bring them right up to the year 2004, Marvel Comics have announced that their back catalog will be made available online. According to a report in USA Today, Marvel’s library will open today with 2500 issues – interestingly enough, for online browsing only, no downloading – for those willing to pay the $9.99 per month (which drops to $4.99 monthly if you subscribe for a year) fee, with new issues to be added on a regular basis.
When asked for comment, internet-based comic fans were too busy downloading every Hulk comic ever made from Bit Torrent for free to respond. Image courtesy Marvel Entertainment.
