Many many moons ago, I used to be an avid comic book collector. It looks like Marvel is looking to revolutionize the comics industry by selling them on iTunes.

I am sure that this decision is in no small part to how profitable the comic book to movie formula is turning out to be. Several of the most successful movies last year were all comic book spin offs (The Dark Knight, Iron Man, Incredible Hulk, etc). While creating a ipod/iphone version of comic books may create a new audience of cliental, it certainly destroys the notion of collecting comics as an “investment”.
