The current price of the Marvel digital comics service is $59.88 a year. At those priece points, many existing customers might find the upgrade very much worth it, with the ability to flip those exclusve variant covers on eBay…

$1.99 price point…

In the past Marvel has concentrated in allowing people unlimited access to an at-least-six-months-delayed back catalogue of Marvel comics, with an all-you-can-eat deal. This survey indicates something akin to a WizardWorld VIP deal with some print comics content, treading into Marvel Subscription territory. And the possibility of people buying current comics digitally, one at a time, at the $2 mark…
