More free comics! This time from Marvel

Marvel has added a bunch of comics to their digital comics offering, including quite a few #1s. Ever wondered if She-Hulk is any good? You can check out the first issue online! Marvel's leading the charge with the digital comics, and hopefully the other publishers will follow suit with more online comics.

My picks out of Marvel's current digital offering are "Runaways" #1 by Brian K. Vaughan (awesome series, and kid-friendly),"Astonishing X-Men" #1 by Firefly/Buffy helmer Joss Whedon (the best X-title out there right now), "Captain America" #1 by Ed Brubaker (I'll read anything he writes), and "What If Magneto Had Formed The X-Men...?" (because you can never read enough What If...? storylines).

There's been a lot of talk online about how the big publishers should start offering their comics through iTunes or some other central delivery model, and I think they're right. There are plenty of people out there who'd by them... or even subscribe to them. I think it's a great idea, and one that DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, etc. should all jump on or else they're gonna end up missing the boat, just like the music industry did with digital music.

I gotta say though... I wouldn't read the digital comics for the titles I really enjoy. There's no substitute for having an issue in your hands while you read it. Same goes for any type of book.

Egon was wrong. Print isn't dead. Although, he WAS right about the atomic weight of Cobalt...
