+Lisa Josephsdatter – you probably saw this?
Comixology.com is having an asthma attack which is a shame as I have account there I'd like to add a few of these titles too!
+Jeremy Seifert Yep, I did! I'm a DC gal, so I didn't pay much attention to it (and their servers are getting hammered), so I haven't really looked much into it.
Though, hmm … if they at least have Hawkeye #1, I'll have to get that …
This is awesome!
We have a marvel comic material at the dress shop. Funny story, little hipster teen comes in and is looking at clutches with her friend.
Me: we have one in a comic book material, it's marvel with Thor and the hulk and is really cool.
Teen: oh that's DC, I work at a comic book shop.
Me: o.0
Good luck. I have been trying for 2 days but their servers are totally slammed. The +comiXology app crashes every 10 seconds. Can't get anything.
Awww, Crap -_-
Ohhh update from Comixology: http://www.comixology.com/sale-access
Great except the damn app can't connect to the store right now.
I'm using Chrome on a PC. I'm hoping they'll just take everyone's email and give them a time when they can login and pretty grab what they can in a particular time frame.
I'm quite enjoying The new "Marvel Now!" books. I've been reading the new books like Indestructible Hulk, Uncanny X-Men, Fantastic Four and Captain Marvel.
When I go to the "update" at http://blog.comixology.com/2013/03/11/message-from-the-ceo/ it tells me there is nothing there. Ergh.
Yeah I had that too for a while but then it changed to a text box asking me for my email address so they could send me further details. So far nothing in my Inbox but I did see a confirmation screen thanking me for my email address.
Ditto.
Was finally able to read this today:
In regards to the Marvel #1 promotion, our technology partner is working through the issues.

Marvel fans assembled in record numbers to take advantage of the landmark Marvel #1 digital comics sale! The demand has been so overwhelmingly positive, in fact, that a number of technical issues have arisen with our technology partner in getting the more than 700 free issues to each of you. When we have further updates from our partner, we will share them.
Your excitement, support and never-ending enthusiasm for all things Marvel are truly amazing.
From the House of Ideas directly to every Marvelite out there: thank you for making yours Marvel!
It's giving me more time to consider which ones I'm gonna try to grab.
I want to get some featuring characters I never normally read like Thor, Ultron, Daredevil, Captain America
Just got this e-mail today:
Since you asked for updates about the Marvel #1 promotion, we wanted to let you know that we have been working hard to make things right, and now…drumroll please…you are among the first to know how to get your hands on them.
