Going back to reading and gaming after the long day and panel attending today, I did a stack at least.
I knew Amazon would pull something like this [gigaom.com] after seeing Scribd and Oyster do it.
@matigo Somewhat true especially in the big two in Marvel and DC. If you can go outside of those there are plenty independent publications and comics (mostly creator-owned) that tell very good stories and breathe fresh in lots of ways.
Why you ask? Mostly because this is a move in try to bring sales, standard comic practice. I think when the next Thor film comes, we’ll likely see a change again. They had to bring Peter Parker back in the comics on time for the ASM2 film for example.
