Broken link for the nick fury

Thanks.  Fixed.  Marvel didn't send me the full link.

omg it's nick fury!

If I didn't have bills, car payments, and Netflix.... I would totally do this

if i wasn't technologically challenged and had money i would to

scary thing is I was just thinking about joining when I logged on about three seconds ago... and then I saw that you just posted this and thought to myself maybe its meant to be? Who knows let me look into it.

I'm subscribed, and I would say that if you want to read some back issues from years ago, it's great. But if you want to actually use that in lue of going to the shop or subscribing, then you're not going to get anywhere. It's more of an archive. I think that it's worth it, because it has a lot of great comics and if you think about it, I think it's only 5 bucks a month. That means that if you use it a lot, then you're saving a lot of money. There's also this cool feature where they have highlights for certain writers or artists or character, so you can read all their stuff. So if you're a collector guy, you might not want to, but if you are just a guy like me who want s to read the stuff, then this is for you.
I mean, it's a good marketing ploy. For instance, I read all of the MK Daredevil stuff, and I loved it, especially Bendis's run which was amazing. But just after Brubaker's first issue, it started getting choppy and skipping issues. So then I had to go out and buy the volumes of his stuff, and now I'm hooked. It's a very good idea on Marvel's part, and this is why Marvel transitioning to the digital age first is going to give them an enormous edge over DC.

 

They have pretty much every series with the frequency of issues in a row increasing the farther you go back and how popular the series is. Like they have Fantasitc Four, X-Men, Spider-man, Avengers, etc. going all the way back to issue one, but the closer you get to the preset, the more likely it is that you will be skipping issues. But if you want to the entire X-Men, or just from a ceratin decade, then this is a good idea, as opposed to buying the Essentials or TPBs.
