Marvel giving away 700 first-issue digital comics for free - Page 3

I still haven't gotten my email

I'm hoping they're staggering the emails rather than my spam filter having lost the one they sent.

Jessica Lares · 04-11-2013, 05:11 PM

Yeah, got my e-mail earlier too. Was kinda cumbersome clicking through, but just glad that's finally over with. Haha.

hwlester · 04-11-2013, 05:19 PM

Yes, I'm "that guy" who picked up all 723 of them (in several smaller batches).

All but the last couple of batches are in my account already. One of the freebies is Hulk, Vol. 2 #1. Following the links through from my account, I noticed that Hulk, Vol. 2 #3 is also free (but not part of the promo): http://www.comixology.com/Hulk-3/dig...AN082148?app=1

They're staggering them; the e-mail you got when you signed up for the promotion said:

To ensure that each customer has a good experience getting his or her books, we will be sending your invite in the order you signed up. Don't fret if you don't see your email on Thursday, your email will arrive!

The wording of the FAQ on their site suggests they may be staggering the e-mails over several days to prevent more problems. My e-mail hasn't arrived yet either.

CWatkinsNash · 04-11-2013, 07:16 PM

Heh. I went back and got 33 more.

I decided that I wanted the Thor issues after all. Things are obviously still going smoothly, because they were all in my account within two minutes.

Yeah, I found the FAQs after I posted. And about 30 minutes later, my email arrived

I grabbed all 723 and most of them are now in my account. Was going to just center around Avengers and X-Men, but I figured it would be a good opportunity to get into new character storylines that I hadn't tried before. I'm going to have plenty to read in the coming weeks!

Got my email in the early evening and just dumped them all in my account - easier than trying to do comparisons on another page to see if they were interesting.

Hopefully they will be easy to perm delete later, after reading.

magicmonster · 04-13-2013, 12:10 AM

I got 406 of them. :-P

They don't offer a delete option, but you can 'archive' things.

How do I delete books from My Comics on the web?

We don't offer the ability to delete comics from your My Comics section on the web, but we do have an Archiving feature. When viewing a comic series, simply click "Archive Complete Series" in the upper-left or the "Archive" button under individual issues.

You can always access and remove items from your Archive section on the My Comics page by clicking on the Go To Archive Page.

Good to know (and that will work, for me).

Blossom · 04-13-2013, 03:01 AM

I grabbed quite a few of them. Anything that look interesting and all the X-Men ones.

RareBird · 04-13-2013, 04:09 PM

I somehow selected 175. Not sure why I thought I clicked on less.

shootist · 04-14-2013, 04:07 PM

How long does it take to get them? I selected quite a few.

Mine were added in 24 hours. So not too long.

shootist · 04-14-2013, 04:09 PM

Well I think I screwed up. I added several, but never "checked out" and my time is up. Oh well.
