But are they paying the creators like they do when they reprint their comics?

They should by all means, but in case they don't, that's what's courts are for.

Checked it out yesterday. Pretty spiff. They look okay, but not as good as the c-reader (or whatever it was called) and fan-scans I used to have copies of.
Of course, to get full access to title lines, you have to subscribe. So yeah, I'm guessing the creators will get a piece of that.

I grew up on Marvel. I was attracted by their new color process, creative storylines and fantastic art. In competition with DC Comics, Marvel became the comic standard of it's day. Spiderman, X-men, Thor, Ironman, Hulk, Dr. Strange, Fantastic Four. I know I've left some comics out but my memory's not as good as it once was.

I used to have a disc with nice scans of the first 100 issues of the Avengers, with ads intact. That's before my time, even. Now that was one cool mag for it's day. Thor, Ironman, Hulk, Dr. Strange all together. Wicked, man.
Spiderman and X-men were the huge hits of my childhood. But Dr. Strange was always a fave. Hulk, too. Man, he's been through some sh#t over the decades. Howsabout Man-Thing?
Nice to see them pushing an on-demand medium. I could spend a couple days a month going through those, having lost all my collection to various disasters over the years.

Had a gold mine of Marvel comics in my footlocker before going to college. Sometime between then and graduation, my comics disappeared. I suspect my younger brother. Think after he was finished reading them he sold them for pocket money. No wonder I used to beat the crap out of him. lol.

I went nuts when Spiderman first came out...but I would buy any comic. Remember The Rawhide Kid, cigar chomping Nick Fury(before S.H.I.E.L.D.) and wasn't Luke Cage, Hero for Hire a Marvel character. And the angry and misunderstood Sub-Mariner. I was always a Batman freak, too, but my favorite DC characters were Jonah Hex and Swamp Thing.

If this is true then the youngsters are in for a treat! Bring back the Mighty Thor too!Hammer time! As the "thing" of the Fantastic Four used to say: "It's clobberin' time!" I grew up in the 60's when these characters were on both comics, and had they're shows on TV a while back. Come to think of it. I wished my dad never threw out the very 1st issue of the Lone Ranger comic book, but the darn thing was tattered, and yellowed with age....oh well....Btw Good article jeremytoday.
