An Interesting Idea!

As usual, I'm somewhat behind the loop, but Brainfreeze has linked something interesting!

So Marvel's going to make some comics available online for a fairly reasonable sounding fee, which I like a lot. I thought those Marvel compilation DVDs were a fantastic idea and I actually prefer the idea of reading a lot of stuff online if I could. See, I'm very disorganized and destructive and not the best at preserving my comics collections as they should be, having access to them on the computer would be so much better for me. Then I could read my hard copies first, put them somewhere reasonably safe/out of the way, and reread them on my computer without hurting them! Yay!

I also don't have much trouble reading things off a computer screen. :-) And the display options they offer seem to be really neat.

My only problem though is, like Brainfreeze points out, I don't want temporary access to the comics. I want to keep them. I particularly don't like anything that requires me to have active internet access at the time, because what if my internet goes out? I wouldn't be able to read my comics! That'd suck!

I get why they're doing it that way, but it might very well be a deal-breaker for me. I suppose it'll depend on what they have available, since, well, I'm a fickle fickle person and can be bribed away from many of my pre-established convictions by something shiny. :-) If they have something I want to read, I'll totally subscribe, complaints aside.

I reserve the right to bitch though. :-)
