Skitch Commentary: In my New Comics Release list, I was just complaining that Marvel and DC need to do more to get superheroes into younger readers hands. I think this project is an incredible idea. Much more excited about this than Year One. My daughter is really into superheroes, and is just starting to get the hang of reading. Marvel Reads would be ideal for her….
BUT….WHAT ABOUT ANDROID USERS? Marvel Reads is a great idea and I am looking forward to seeing what characters and stories appear next, but I definitely want them to have Android support! I guess for now, I can just download them onto the ol’ laptop off Itunes, but it’s not the same as me and my five year old curling up on the couch and watching and listening to it on my ANDROID tablet. Hook me up here, Marvel!!
And Stan Lee reading this is just a great bonus!
