News:Marvel to Publish Back Issues Online

Marvel has finally come into the Digital Age with their new online comic offering starting today. Marvel will publish 2,500 comic back-issues, viewable online for a monthly fee, adding as many as 20 issues to the site each week.

While this service will be incredibly handy for researchers and fans wanting to get caught up with old storylines, it certainly won't replace the 'real thing'...

Or will it?

NB: Marvel.com is currently lagging at the time of this writing, presumably because of the high interest in this service.
