Digital Comics Store Update (7th January 2010)

Hello and happy new year! Firstly a huge thanks from the Comics team for making the launch of the Digital Comics Store a huge success. We’re thrilled at all the feedback you’ve given; thankfully it’s almost all positive. We do read it all so please keep it coming.
If you have yet to try Digital Comics, please give it a go. There are currently 14 free comics for you to sample.

On to this week’s releases. I know a lot of you have been asking for it so you’ll be happy to know that we are releasing Marvel’s epic Civil War #1 – #7. Find out what happens after the Superhuman Registration Act is passed and whether Spider-Man will finally reveal his true identity to the public. Other Marvel highlights include The Avengers and Daredevil.

We also start a new story arc of Wormwood: Gentlemen Corpse called “It only Hurts When I Pee.” As with the previous issues, this includes audio commentary from the creator Ben Templesmith. A highly recommended purchase at only 79p.
