Free Marvel comics

Relevant to the comm's interests, yeah?

In case you hadn't heard, Comixology released a set of more than 700 Marvel first issues, in digital format, for free. It was supposed to be a limited-time promotion, but the traffic exploded all their servers, so they've closed it until a fix can be worked out. Don't worry, you can still get in! (Keep trying if the page doesn't load right away, they're still getting hammered.)

The collection is grouped into themes like Captain America, Iron Man, Avengers, Ultimates, Marvel Events, etc. There are also some one-shots included, like A-vs-X Babies. (Adorable!) It's a great chance for fans to get their feet wet, and even if you aren't new to comics you'll still find something new to try.

I've been trying for two days off and on and so far it's time-out errors and no success :( Shall keep trying, though!

Yeah, I never was able to complete a "purchase", but now that it's just a matter of submitting your e-mail, the servers should start to respond.

It was only until today, right? Because I tried for hours and when I went back a few minutes ago, they said the promotion was closed. And since I could barely access my cart before, the prices went back to normal and I didn't get any comic. What luck...

The promotion was suspended because traffic crashed their servers, but if you follow the link and put in your email you'll still be able to get in once they figure out a fix.

Oh, dear god. I don't even want to attempt it on the crappy Camic internet. Hopefully by the time they re-open it, I'll be out of Beijing and some place where the interwebs actually work.
