Marvel Online
This is good news for those of you who like to read comics. I believe in some ways they were forced to do this because many readers put their own scans of comics online. Actually, Marvel stocks went up by 5% due to this move.

I know they have been pondering this for a long time. I am glad they finally did, I just can't afford to keep up with all the comics I used to love. This should help boost sales and interests again.
I don't remember how many months they are behind the in-print comics. I know it has to be at least about 3 months so that the online comics don't interfere with their in-print sales. I'm glad their putting the comics online but I'd rather buy the new comics as they come out for at least a couple of the good stories.
