Marvel giving away over 700 free first issue digital comics (for real, totally seriously this time)
Remember, like, not even a month ago when Marvel tried giving away over 700 first issues of its comic library in digital form on ComiXology? Apparently that didn't work so well, with rabid fans crashing the digital comic service while attempting to pull down as many issues as possible. Fret not, law-abiding citizens, as Marvel is re-introducing its offer today, albeit with a different method for snagging those free copies. Head over to the service's special sign-up page right here and enter a bit of information ahead of tomorrow night's expiration. Following that, you'll receive an invite from ComiXology sometime on April 11th with instructions for how to download more comics than you'll ever have time to read. Even better, the whole shebang hopefully won't be bookended by download errors this time! That's what we'd call super.
