Readers Who Buy a Digital Comic on the Marvel App Can Score a $5 Coupon for Print Comics on January 7

I know I might be politicizing this, but Marvel is a supporter of SOPA. Don't fall for this, send Marvel a message that their support will not stand. Boycott their products, and sign this petition: http://www.dearmarvel.com/?utm_source=Thwipster+Newsletter&utm_campaign=229e7257d7-010612&utm_medium=email&mc_cid=229e7257d7&mc_eid=a8680ff807

This is not spam, I'm just a concerned internet user and comic book fan.

But... I already bought all of the Marvel Comics I wanted for this week.

Big surprise, it's in the US only. Things like this make me feel undervalued as a customer, though Marvel is far from the only country to shaft Canada this way.

this is ingenious. first, the cost of acquiring new online customers through other marketing campaigns is probably not much less than that, depending on how many new customers you want to buy (deminishing returns, etc). second, floppies are all like, 4 bucks now, right? so whos going to buy just one comic at the store and leave that extra dollar just sitting there unused? no way, you going to buy one comic for free, and get another comic for 25% off. since the digital comic marvel just sold you essentially costs them zero additional dollars to produce and distribute, theyve just sold you 2 floppies for 7 bucks (assuming digital comics cost 3 dollars. i have no idea though, how much do they cost?). PLUS marvel has your contact information for thier database. AND they get to look good because theyre building their digital market AND shoving people into local comic shops.

they should do this all year long. also someone in the marvel marketing department is going to earn a raise.

Maybe I'm just being weird and all, but I'd feel awkward using this at my shop. I don't know why, but I would.

Y'know this is something they really need to more often. I'm sure a lot of "hard" comics sales have slipped since the digital comics have come out - be nice to walk into a shop and basically come out with maybe 1 or 2 freebie new comics.

Thanks Marvel!
