Yesterday morning, Zach and Stella attended the Marvel Digital Panel.
The Panel Began with ta show of Marvel Superheroes ‘What The?” starring Professor X and Magneto.
One of the goals of Marvel Digital in general is to connect with the audience via social media. IE Facebook, Twitter.
The weekly Watcher has become the Watcher. Marvel produced a new Music Video that has a song for the show. It should be up on Marvel.com soon, but they had not posted the video online.
They then gave a History of Digital Comics:
Debuted on November13th 2007.
Over 10,000 available on PC. 25 added weekly.
2000 are available on the Marvel iOS app, and 40 are added weekly.
DAY AND DATE RELEASE:
Actually helps retailers sell more hard copies.
Started with the Hulk, Schism and Ultimate line.
Next Up: in August Spider-Man, with Spider-Island, then the tie in books and Venom.
In Oct: X-Men line starting with Uncanny #1.
More and more Date and Day release will happen as we progress towards the Avengers Movie.
Also, while not confirmed completely, expect that there will be a ‘Amazing Spider-Man’ Video Game, along with Avengers.
There will be a synergy between the Mobile App and the Computer version.

@ #2 – I completely agree. 99c for a digital issue is a fair price considering what they save on distribution and printing. And it makes it a much more impulse buy.
That said I would not be switching to digital for Spidey anytime soon, have collected far too many issue’s to stop now.
If they offered a decently priced physical + digital subscription I would be all over it!
If I could get an affordable yearly subscription to the monthly spidey titles, I’d be on board. But I’ll never Pay more than 99c for a digital issue. I’d rather just keep doing what i’m doing and wait to find them later at local conventions or in lots on ebay. Usually find them for a buck each if not better that way.
Ugh, an Amazing Spider-Man movie game tie-in is not necessary. Just stick with doing the regular non-movie related games.
