Right Up Against Free Commercial Vs. Practical Acknowledgement Of The Role Of Consumption In Comics

This is pretty dicey area in terms of what this site does. I don't like running free commercials -- if it's something for which you can buy ad, it's probably not news -- while at the same time 1) I'm sort of interested in everything comiXology does right now; 2) I'm really interested in the general idea of how comics will use its titantic, general, and usually relevant back catalog in the years ahead; 3) I don't want readers whose sole interaction with comics news is through this site (basically my family and a half-dozen college friends) to miss out on free comics.

So this is the comiXology summer promotion, which is basically daily, free comics according to a limited window comic-to-comic and over the course of a restricted period overall. There's one of significant interest up today. I think the idea is that you get people in the habit of using the on-line retailer on a regular basis as well as the not-just-an-on-line-concern idea that if you get to look at comics you might not buy on your own you might find something you like you wouldn't otherwise. This comibination of old and new techniques/concerns interests me, anyway.
