 An invincible collection just in time for the movie!, 2008-04-13
GIT really did a fine job with these comic collections. Too bad Marvel is now going totally online and won't let anyone have the actual comics in hand anymore. *sigh* Oh, well -- but if you can get it used (or from GIT), go for it. It's definitely worth the money!
Totally Invincible!, 2008-03-20
Before I bought this I hadn't read very many of these comics. My paper collection only has a few issues. I am glad I can read the whole story, including the "alternate world" storyline from 96. This is a great addition to my collection and will provide me with years of reading enjoyment. I give it 10 stars!!!
Best product for comic lovers ever, 2008-03-09
Complete run, easy to use. Love, love, love this product. Shame on you Marvel for cancelling the contract with the company that produces these. I have been collecting comics for 30 years and have a massive collection, but this product was awesome for new readers that wanted to read entire collections. Unfortunately, Marvel pulled the plug, so planned collections for Thor, Daredevil and others may never see the light of day. At least we got a few before they got greedy. Snap them up from Amazon while you can, there won't be any more made!
GET THIS QUICK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!, 2007-12-21

 Okay, but some annoying problems related to printing, 2007-12-18
Boy, talk about Stealth Armor (i.e. Stealth product). I'm a big Iron Man fan (have almost every issue published), and I was not even aware that this product was out. I do not know who is handling the advertising for it, but they are not doing a good job. I knew that Avengers, Captain America, etc. similar products were out there and they were more visible in terms of advertising, but did not see a peep about this one. I found it quite by accident when I did a search on Amazon. I figured Marvel would eventually release this one (especially since the IM movie is coming out next year), but I guess they are using "stealth" advertising for this one ; )
Anyway, the product ships in a big box containing a DVD. Not much else. It is okay (has most all the Iron Man & Tales of Suspense stuff. The issues are complete - even containing the Ads, and more importantly, the Captain America portions in the later Tales of Suspense issues. Kind of a bonus since I liked the early Cap America stuff too.
The only real issues I have with this product are:
1) The scanning resolution is not that great. Even at over 100% it barely fills the screen on my computer (I am using 1400 x 1050 resolution). You have to set the doc to over 100% in Acrobat Reader to get a decent size at which to read everything. This kind of tells me that the probably did not use a good resolution in scanning. However, it is acceptable. I just generally prefer higher resolution scans of stuff.
2) The Marvel watermark appears on every single printed page. And it is not subtle. It is relatively noticeable. This annoys the heck out of me. However, this only appears on printed pages, not when you read it in Acrobat Reader.
3) There is a single solid black page prefacing every issue. Not a big deal really, but you need to start printing from page 2 to avoid getting a solid black screen of nothing printed out (of course it has the Marvel watermark on it also).
4) I wish they would have given an option or included a set of special or second copy scan issues that would permit you to printout the full comic as a comic. In other words, If you print out to 11x17 both sides, you could approximate a printout of the comic such that when folded properly and stapled in the middle you actually get the comic with the pages in the correct sequence. This would be nice because it would allow me to print out the few issues I am missing in my collection to act as placeholders until I was able to buy them like, oh TOS 39 for instance ; ). This of course is not a problem with the product, but it would have been a nice feature request.
