Marvel Comics has announced the expansion of their Digital Comic offerings starting with Marvels Channels: Monsters, Myths and Marvels: Galactus from writer Frank Tieri and artist Juan Santacruz, which goes live on Wednesday October 22nd.
Marvel plans to launch three or more new exclusive digital comics per month (always on Wednesdays). Among the titles announced today were a Halloween Special Issue featuring Frankenstein and Jack Russell (Werewolf-by-Night) created by Dean Haspiel, American Eagle: Just a Little Old-Fashioned Justice by Jason Aaron and Richard Isanove, Fing Fang Four by Scott Gray and Roger Langridge, Kid Colt by Tom DeFalco, and a collection of Amazing Spider-Man stories from Spidey Brain Trustee Bob Gale that take place within and around the current Webcrawler continuity.
The online comic service, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited was launched late last year and has been providing reader access to some of its huge library of back issues (some released as recently as six months ago).
With the launch of these new, original stories it is obvious that Marvel is trying to appeal to a younger computer-savvy generation that doesn’t mind reading comics online.
