Here’s how it works: You must have a Comixology account (which is free), and you must visit this promotional page by April 9 at midnight – if you aren’t in front of a calendar, that’s tomorrow. Unlike the last time however, Comixology has instituted a few caveats to the deal to make sure that everyone gets their fill of Marvel’s books and nobody’s servers go up in smoke. Apparently the duo has sussed out a solution to the problem, as Comixology is once again offering users an unreadably massive amount of free comics. Undaunted, Marvel and Comixology reassured fans that they would get their free comics, but there would be a bit of a wait while the two firms figured out how best to distribute such a massive amount of free reading material. Comixology’s servers buckled under the stress and both the site and its mobile apps were unavailable for nearly 72 hours. Marvel Comics had joined forces with online comic distribution firm Comixology to give readers 700 different first issues from Marvel’s massive catalogue, only no one predicted the massive turn out of eager comic book fans hoping to download all 700 issues at the same time.

Comixology learned from last month’s catastrophic failure, and this time the company is dead set on giving you 700 Marvel Comics #1 issues totally free of charge.Īlmost exactly one month ago we reported on a promotional effort gone horribly awry.
