Because that’s the way we chose to do that story, in the same manner as the Infinite Comics we did alongside other past Events.

More accurate answer: it’s not. A print edition comes out about a month behind the digital version.

I would say it is closer to yes, than no. I don’t buy any digital Marvel comics, unless I am buying through a comixology sale. I’ll just buy the print edition, and then get the code for the digital that comes with the purchase. It is a no brainer for me.

But what happens when an important tie-in to the years biggest comic event can only be purchased online the day of it’s release? That is going to put some people to a major decision. The only Marvel singles I buy regulatory are the X-Men. Almost everything else is purchased through trade, or I read through Unlimited.

Now Marvel is telling me I have to buy it through their digital format if I want it the day it comes out. How much do I value that need to get it right now? This is the book that pulls directly from 90s nostalgia. Of all the Secret Wars X-Men books, this one draws from the heart, more than any other. I can’t imagine too many other books that offer Marvel this kind of opportunity to gauge consumer interest in buying a book directly from the digital warehouse.
