[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 5063349, member: 177"] Folks, you comics fans want to hear about this... For X-mas, my wife gave me something I didn't know existed - a one-year subscription to Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited. With things being busy, I hadn't gotten around to activating it until two days ago... By the gods, folks, this is sweet stuff. Thousands of comics, reaching back to the early days of Marvel (Uncanny X-Men #1 is there, from 1963) to the fairly recent. Access limited only by the rate at which you can read and download them. It is a browser-based system, so no downloading and keeping copies, but you aren't restricted in reading and re-reading. It's like having a huge library with 24-hour access, so I fail to see this as a problem. The reader has several modes - pain view of one page, two pages, or a "smart panel" mode that scales images to your screen well, and has a concept of panels and flow trough a page. I'm working off a small laptop screen, so if I view an entire page at once, the text isn't very legible. I can still do that if I want though, because it gives you a magnifying glass feature as well. I would certainly prefer having a huge flatscreen monitor that would display them at real size, but failing that, this works about as well as is humanly possible, giving me all the options I really need to enjoy the artwork. Now, I got this as a gift, but I think the price is important for comics fans. A typical trade paperback collection of 6 issues has a cover price of $15. Maybe you can get it for $10 on Amazon, right? Well, a one-year, unlimited access subscription runs a mere $60. The cost of 4 to 6 compilations or 24 to 36 issues. If you aren't concerned with having the physical copy there, this is a steal! They also have a monthly subscription, I am not sure of the price, but I suspect it isn't as attractive. [/QUOTE]
