# Ipad as Comic Book Reader

One of the best uses I have seen on ipad are the comic books.  I have been a fan of comic books, but I never wanted to pay for them, so I have not collected or read that many.  Ipad is a perfect comic book reader.  Marvel has digital subscription that allows you for $60 a year to have access to their library.  But that is only available on a regular computer, not on the ipad. (This is because of a lack of flash support by the ipad.)

On the ipad you have to buy the invidiual comics, which puts me right back at not wanting to spend money on a 25-30 page comic book.  Most of them are $0.99-1.99, but I have a hard time justifying to pay for 5 to 10 minutes of entertainment. I might re-read a couple of the comic books, but I just have a hard time justifying the cost.

Here is a review of the Marvel Comic book app on ipad so you can see how it really works. (It was originally on [BoingBoing](http://boingboing.net/), not my own review.)

If only Marvel, or someone else, will set up a reasonable cost subscription service, I will be there.
