Though I understand the reasoning for the move, for me when it comes to comics, no thanks.  |

The only use for paper comics is for something to read on the john. And since 99% of modern "monthly" comics take three minutes to read, even THAT is pointless.
I switched to digital magazines & newspapers almost exclusively already. Hell, even the owner of the New York Times has said that they plan on cutting the print version of their paper within the decade for a daily digital version.
Marvel is foolish to limit this to their Marvel Adventures & Classics Illustrated comics, but they're too afraid of pissing off their aging reader base and Diamond to make that final leap into the 21st century. The only future for print edition comics is compilations of serials first printed online. | |

This is the sort of thing that could get me back into following more comics and not just the 2 or 3 I am now.

I'd still buy books regularly, but with cheap digital copies I'd be a lot more like to try something out.  | |
