Get 700 Free Comics from Marvel

A couple of weeks ago, Marvel launched a "Marvel First" teaser campaign. At SXSW, Marvel revealed what that was all about -- the publisher is giving away 700 free first issues via Comixology. Yes, 700.
That includes recent Marvel NOW! launches like All-New X-Men, The Avengers, New Avengers, Superior Spider-Man, and Captain America. It also includes the usual favorites like Hawkeye, Daredevil, and Captain Marvel, and so many more. Events, mini-series, old volumes... a whopping number of those first issues are free. So if there's anything you've been on the fence about trying, now's your chance to do it free of charge.

Been trying all day from the main website, I finally managed to register and confirm my account (that took about 4 hours). Every time I finally add a comic to the cart it just goes in an infinite http 500 error.
It would be good if these could be shared by somebody that managed to download them

I think you can only view them online, but not download..

They work in the app, apparently.

Ya I've downloaded 183 comics on the ipad app but it says download error on a lot of them? Help anyone?

It appears they have stalled the promotion for the time being, but they ask for an email address to contact you when the restart it.
So try logging back in and following prompt to leave an email address.

Yeah that's the message I'm getting:

"A Message From The CEO
Posted on March 11th, 2013 - 16:07 PM by David Steinberger

To our customers:

It’s been a whirlwind weekend, and we’re fresh from SXSW where Marvel Comics launched their Marvel #1 promotion featuring over 700 free comics distributed via our platform.

We expected a high degree of excitement for the Marvel initiative – and had believed ourselves prepared – but unfortunately we became overwhelmed by the immense response. We’re still struggling to keep our systems up.

The result is that you aren’t getting your comics when and where you want.

We don’t like letting you down. Our teams are working around the clock to resolve these issues so that you can have the experience you’ve come to expect.

To that end, we’re pausing the Marvel Comics #1 promotion for the time being. For those of you that want to take advantage of the offer – you will get your comics! Until we are able to reinstate this program in our systems, please click here and fill out this simple form, so you can be informed as soon as there is an update.

We’ll be communicating with you as often as we can and deeply appreciate the outpouring of support we’ve seen from our customers while we right the ship.

So far, all I have seen is advertising from comixology. Nice trick to get a bunch of valid emails for free, though. Make a promise you don't have to keep... send a bunch of unsolicited emails instead. F*ckers.

Same here, I unsubscribed from them

Just received this one:

Since you asked for updates about the Marvel #1 promotion, we wanted to let you know that we have been working hard to make things right, and now...*drumroll please*...you are among the first to know how to get your hands on them.

Because you already have a comiXology account, no further action is needed at this time, and you’ll be the first in line.

On Thursday, April 11th, we will begin sending out invites with your personalized link to access over 700 FREE Marvel #1 issues, so be on the lookout for your email! Please add noreply@comixology.com to your address book so things don't get caught in your junk mail.

Once you receive your Marvel #1 invite, you will have 48 hours to choose your FREE Marvel #1 issues!

Got the same myself... perhaps they will redeem themselves.

I'm going to do the same. The emails don't seem to have a standardised 'unsubscribe' link however.

I got my email to download them

Same here, it looks like you can only read them online though (E.G. no download as pdf option)

If it's the same as the iPad app, you can double-tap to zoom in, then tap to go panel to panel. I liked reading that way, but others may prefer the full page per screen view as it's more like a traditional comic.

718.

Their all bought and in 'My Comics' you don't have to download them all at once from my understanding.
