City Of Heroes: Intec Interactive Launches Digital Comic Book Site

Thanks to links to EBGames.com and Gamestop.com, fans can click online and buy instantly any of the new Marvel or CrossGen DCBs at the suggested retail prices of $9.99 (for CrossGen titles) and $13.99 (for Marvel’s titles).

In addition, the site contains a ton of information about the DCBs including a complete list of titles, pictures of the box covers, a synopsis of each volume, release dates for each volume, an FAQ about the products and links to news and reviews written about the new comics format.

“While we recognize that most comics fans prefer the feel of a printed comic book in their hands — and nothing will ever replace that experience — we think that this new format and style of presentation is a fun experience unto itself, and is a great way to introduce new people to the storytelling wizardry that exists in this industry,” said Mark Stanley, vice president of marketing for Intec Interactive. “At $9.99 and $13.99 for the equivalent of a complete graphic novel’s worth of story, along with nspecial features and trailers, we believe the DCB series is a great digital complement to any comic fan’s collection.”
