All Marvel Ultimates Titles Will Include A Digital Download Code Starting in January 2012
Marvel’s Ultimate Comics offers FREE digital copies in 2012!
Starting in January 2012, Marvel Comics will include a free redeemable digital download code in all their Ultimate Comics titles. Marvel just recently started their free digital download program with the release of Avenging Spider-Man #1, which was also polybagged to protect the codes, which are printed on the inside back cover, from being stolen. The Ultimate Comics titles will also be polybagged for the same reason.
The program begins with Ultimate Spider-Man #6 in January, followed by Ultimate X-Men #7 and Ultimates #7 in February, and will continue with subsequent Issues.
Marvel has been criticized lately for lowering the page count on some of their $3.99 titles as DC has tried to maintain a lower price point by offering many of their books at $2.99. Some Marvel fans feel that they’re not getting $3.99 worth of value for their money. DC has also offered digital downloads in a few of their titles, but for a dollar more.

Marvel Cancels Another Series: THE DESTROYERS
Marvel cancels The Destroyers before its solicitation
Following the previous cancellations of several titles, most notably Victor Von Doom by Nick Spencer and Becky Cloonan, comes another announcement. The Destroyers, a miniseries due in February 2012 by writer Fred Van Lente and artist Kyle Hotz, was cancelled before it was solicited by Marvel – even though the first two issues were completely penciled.
Originally announced by Marvel at Fan Expo Canada 2011, The Destroyers was to be a five issue miniseries.
Victor Von Doom Miniseries Cancelled By Marvel
Marvel Comics has cancelled the five issue miniseries by Nick Spencer and Becky Cloonan just a few weeks before the first issue was due to hit the stands. The series, written by Spencer and drawn by Cloonan, was supposed to be a tale of a teenaged Doom as he journeyed into Hell to save the spirit of his mother.
Nick Spencer tweeted this morning after the news broke of the series’ cancellation, “I see word is out about Victor Von Doom. Trust me, no one is more bummed about this than I am. Really proud of the scripts and hope to get to work with @beckycloonan sooner rather than later.”
The cancellation follows a round of layoffs announced by Marvel just last month that included the series’ editor Alejandro Arbona. Other announced cancellations included Alpha Flight (ends at #8), All-Winners Squad (ended at #5), and Iron Man 2.0 (ends at #12; also written by Spencer).
