Comics Galore


I couldn't believe Marvel would make this kind of product available, but they did with Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, X-Men, Avengers, and now the Incredible Hulk all available on DVD-ROM, each containing over 500 issues of comics spanning over 40 years! That's a total of over 2500 comics to read, and at a rate of one comic per day, it would take me more than 6 years to finish reading them all. I'm not that big a Marvel fan, but when each DVD-ROM costs less than $50, the price translates to around 10 cents per issue, and that's a deal that no comic enthusiast today can pass up. The only drawback is you need a really large monitor, at least a 22", or else you may end up getting headaches trying to read them on a smaller screen. Now if only DC would put some of their stuff on DVD-ROM....
