Happy Analog Tuesday

Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited subscriptions were 30% off yesterday in celebration of “Cyber Monday.” I just signed up. I’m not buying into whatever “Cyber Monday” is supposed to be, but it provided a discount so I’m going to try it.

As an experiment, there are some titles I’m going to stop buying in print and see if I ever get to them online. There’s current’y at least a six month delay between the print release of Marvel’s comics and their availability through DCU (this acronym confused Angie initially, but I think she sees the humor in it now). If past experience is any indication, I may never read a single book that I’m “waiting” on (I just can’t help but think about the three years worth of Generation X, X-Force, X-Man and Cable issues I purchased years ago and never read after falling behind).

That being said, I do have an interest in reading the Rogue and Nightcrawler titles that came out in 2004 and they’re both available. Anyone else out there subscribing to this service?
