What’s that, the idea of a market for digital codes hadn’t crossed your mind? It’s certainly a way to offset the cost of your purchase if the digital code on a nice card can be sold for a few dollars. What I like about these digital code inserts is how handy they are to give away or sell. I’m thinking at some point I’ll reread them and at that point will take advantage of the digital version but for now it’s a perk I’m not using. Since I read the printed graphic novel these digital editions have languished. So far I’ve had three of these and diligently downloaded them to my iPad. The small print mentions “free with purchase of the graphic novel” but doesn’t give the normal “not for resale” blurb that happens with inserts or giveaways from other markets. The Marvel Comics App for iOS and Android are mentioned but since the code works for both if a new platform stormed the market and Marvel released an app the code would most likely work there as well since it’s all managed by Comixology anyway. Marvel gives about thirteen months from printing of the book for the digital code to be redeemed. Inside the book is a small card with your digital code and instructions.Ī few items worth noting. There’s a handy ad sticker on the book’s plastic wrap, designed to keep the digital code from prying eyes. Marvel has been including a digital code in their monthly books for some time but they’ve also started filtering into select Marvel hardcovers my most recent volumes was Hulk Season One.
