Marvel Digital Comics: Marvel brings old comics online for todays generation

Marvel has announced their plans to bring their huge archive of comics to the web. The aim is to introduce the online audience of today to the famous comic characters including the X-Men and Fantastic Four.

These comics would only be watchable online as they would now make them available for downloading.

New issues would be showcased online only after six months of them going out in print.

Dan Buckley, president of Marvel Publishing said in a statement on these new plans: “You don’t have that spinner rack of comic books sitting in the local five-and-dime any more. We don’t have our product intersecting kids in their lifestyle space as much as we used to.”

The company said that around 2,500 issues will be available at launch of Marvel Digital Comics.
