Marvel are giving away 700 number 1s. Unfortunately Comixolgy is down at the moment due to high server load so can't check if available here.

If anyone gets in, let us know.

I managed to get all of these, I just purchased them all on the iPad app. They all said "Download Error" initially, but they're purchased on my account and they've become available to download in waves of 50 or so since.

Comixology have said that they'll be running the promotion again though, so I suggest signing up for a notification on their website.

I just missed it before it crashed. I started on Marvel Now but have not been able to keep up, as not living in Dublin. Thought this be great way to keep up, but shocked they were charging the same price for digital download as physical copy. I assume the digital comic would be cheaper and was going to keep up with Marvel Now this way, can't see how they can charge for full price it.

Comixology started sending out mails about the promo. I just got it today and it went to my junk folder.

If you didn't get one, it just gave the folowing link

Got my invite for this this morning, so guess I'll be "purchasing" 700 comics tonight and tomorrow

Dark Horse is jumping on the bandwagon celebrating their digital comics' second anniversary by giving away fifty #1s for free if anybody's interested.
