Posted: Sun Mar 10, 2013 1:49 pm
Marvel just held a panel at SXSW regarding their digital publishing initiatives... of particular note to those of us here is that Marvel's digital-only Infinite Comics line is going weekly as of July 19, with a new issue dropping every week. The first Infinite series will be "Wolverine: Japan's Most Wanted."
Other highlights that may or may not be interesting to the MCP community:
--Digital copies of 700 #1 comics to be offered free download-to-own on Marvel's digital store and Comixology till Tuesday (already reports are coming in of Comixology having server overload).
--Announced: Project Gamma, wherein audio (including "adaptive, non-repetitive" background music, paced with the panels as the reader reads them) will be integrated into Marvel digital comics, will debut "later in 2013"
--Announced: Marvel Original Video, an online TV channel and expansion of their online video programming, featuring a new web series called "Earth's Mightiest Show" (hosted by ex-G4 comics guru Blair Butler), plus new reality and behind-the-scenes programming, What The--?! spoof videos, etc.
