Marvel Comics Available Online in Digital Format

Digitized Editions of Super-Hero Favorites Including Spider Man

Oct 27, 2009

A wide range of well known Marvel comics have been digitized and are available for viewing online. These include favorites such as Spider Man and the Incredible Hulk.

Fans of Marvel comics will be interested to find that the collection is being digitized by Marvel and over 5,000 digital comics are available online. The digital comics from Marvel include many of their classic titles, including the Incredible Hulk and Spider-Man, as well as Wolverine, Iron Man and Spider-Woman. There are a wide range of other titles, some of which will be familiar to people who are not comic book fans, including a comic version of Pride and Prejudice.

The Marvel Digital Comic Unlimited Website

The collection is available from the Marvel Digital Comic website. Original comics have been digitized from the original artwork. The digital comics are read via the online digital comic reader. There is no need to download software and the comics can be read on any computer with Internet access (although it should be noted that broadband connections are recommended).

The digital comic reader is an enhanced viewer that allows readers to read the comics. It also offers additional functionality, for instance taking the reader to the next or previous comic in the series. Readers can zoom in and out, and there is a feature that allows readers to magnify text by hovering over the selected area.

The three viewing options of single page, two page and smart panel give readers flexibility as to how they view the comics. The smart panel option allows readers to move from panel to panel using the arrow keys on the computer. This is an easy way to view the comics and to make full use of the screen size. The smart panel option is ideal for people who are new to viewing digital comics this way as it reduces the risk of people 'getting lost' in the pages.

Marvel Digital Comic Subscriptions

There are a number of free samples that give readers the opportunity to take a look at the digital comics and get a feel for reading comics online. In order to access the entire library online, readers have an option to sign up to a subscription plan. This gives the member access to the entire digitized catalog of Marvel comics and new titles are constantly being digitized and added. The subscription plans include a monthly plan where members pay a fee on a monthly basis and an annual fee whereby a one off payment is made which provides membership for a year.

Digital comics from Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited are a great way for fans, new and old, to access a large range of Marvel comics. The free samples on the Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited website will allow people to sample the service before committing to a subscription. However, the quality of the comics and the digital comic reader, combined with the wealth of titles available will make this a very attractive option.
