Marvel Comics

I'm not sure who here is a fan, but Marvel Comics have started putting up an online repository of their comic books, using a pretty nifty comic book viewer. Its far, far away from complete archive, but there are some classic series in there as well as a fair number of the modern comics too. I've paid for an annual subscription and have been catching up on various storylines and characters for the past month or so. Works through your web browser and seems to run happily with IE and Firefox, so probably nice and portable for other OSs.

This one is currently free sample I believe, from 1983: http://www.marvel.com/digitalcomics/..._FOUR.1961.257

Reading the early x-men has me laughing quite loudly. So cliche, unbelievably so at times, and some of the writing quality is absolutely dire, but still interesting none the less
