You can currently pick up versions of "The Watchmen" and the excellent Image title "Invincible," but this marks comic book powerhouse Marvel's entry into the fray, and it's bringing something special to the table, in pre-releasing some issues on iTunes before their print alter-egos hit the stands. No word yet on pricing, but it will probably be comparable to what's already currently available to buy."</em></p><p><em><img src="http://images.thoughtsmedia.com/resizer/thumbs/size/600/at/auto/1234299638.usr105634.jpg" style="border: 1px solid #d2d2bb;" /></em></p><p>This is cool in that you get pre-release date comics to read, but I'm sure the collectors will still buy the hard copy when it comes out. I am a big fan of having everything I read (magazines, books, etc) available on my laptop for convenience sake, or on my Kindle if its available there, so if I still read comics it is something I might be interested in.&nbsp;</p>

From what I gather about this, the offerings will be "motion comics", which means slightly animated. As if we didn't get enough of that from the Marvel Super Heroes shows in the sixties. :rolleyes:
