You might remember a couple of months ago Marvel dropped the news that they were giving away 700 free issues. This was a pretty massive new, and, yes, I was a bit excited . Well maybe some more than a bit, but who doesn't love free comics?
But, basically, it didn't work. It was a pretty good idea on Marvel's part but Comixology wasn't quite ready. So; imagine a sea of angry and impatient comic book fans all racing to their computers and tearing through the internet to one single web-page. Yup, the web page can't take it and, basically, the whole site crashes.
So, while we were all living in a free comics-less wasteland called the internet, people over social media started to think "was that REALLY a good idea, Marvel?" Probably followed by some useless faces or hashtags you have to think ages about to work out... Anyway, back to the point, Marvel started to think about what to do. After a month or two, A sign up turned up, you could sign up and Comixology would e -mail you when they were ready to put up the books.
This is obviously better than no comics at all, the problem was, if you didn't sign up quickly, you couldn't get the free comics.
Luckily, I managed to sign up in time and got, well, a lot of them. (700 of 720, in fact)
But anyway, did you manage to get free comics or did you forget after it broke the first time?

I signed up a while ago and got the ones i wanted today. I chose by which covers/titles were coolest. I might go back and just grab every one!
