Slam still updates his, but another wouldn't hurt anyone.
I have spent 15 years getting my collection to the point where I can sit down and read all of Marvel, and once I'm organized and ready, I'll probably make a thread.
It will be interesting to compare and contrast opinions.

How expensive are those 60's reprints of classic Golden Age material? Fantasy Masterpieces, etc.? Some of the non-superhero stuff that Marvel was doing in the 60's was so shamefully derivative that it's hilarious. Goodman really was a piece of work. Homer the Happy Ghost springs to mind. Not to mention how they eventually morphed their romance/girl comics into blatant rip-off's of Archie. I'll be relying on Marvel Unlimited for most of my reading. My Masterworks collection is far from complete and I've only just begun collecting the Epic line. I think Epic is a fantastically produce line, but I don't care for the randomness of the release schedule. I've only bought Vol.1's so far. I was wondering about Marvel Unlimited... is everything they have available to buy digitally accessible with Marvel Unlimited? I was toying with getting it to make it a little easier on hunting for review thread stuff, but I didn't want to give them money then find out they don't actually have what I want  If you buy through Marvel directly you can of course read it just like all the other comics on Unlimited. There's a separate section that's not really part of Unlimited (the library, etc.) where comics your purchase individually are stored. You can add those to your Unlimited library though. If you buy on Comixology or some other place you can't access it through Marvel Unlimited. Not sure if that's what you're asking, so sorry if I missunderstood. |

What I was asking is if I subscribe to Marvel Unlimited, do you get access to all the comics that Marvel.com offers for sale digitally? Or is it only certain ones? I'm trying to figure out if paying $9.99 a month is more worth it than buying the ocassional digit copy of something I don't have that I want to put in the review thread (like FF 28, for example).
Sometimes you can find stuff online... I found a you tube video of the Iceman/Human Torch team up, called 'Let's read' that slowly scrolled over the book page by page... but not all that often from legit means.

Well, on Marvel Unlimited new comics are delayed by six months; basically, it's like "waiting for the trade." However, if you buy directly from Marvel.com, you can get brand new issues anytime you want, same as buying print copies or over Comixology. Then, after buying a new issue, you can add it to your Marvel Unlimited library. Marvel.com issues use the same reader as Marvel Unlimited issues. So, basically, Marvel.com has everything that's already in Unlimited (you can even buy individual classic issues) PLUS new comics. I went ahead and bought the year subscription seeing as how I love reading classic material and don't mind waiting for the newer series. I hope one day to have a nice Masterworks library, but it's going to take me a long time to piece it together given the ridiculous prices.
On the subject of my review thread, I'm going to start it tomorrow. So far the only series' that I won't have full access to is Sub-Mariner, Marvel Super Heroes and Captain Marvel. I'm not sure if I should simply review the issues Marvel Unlimited has available or skip these series. I'll set out my format and methodology in my initial post in the review thread.
