Top Cow’s Let Us Win You Over campaign continues in March with 25 stories giving away copies of Witchblade #125.  It’s a different set of stores and a different comic book each month through 2009.

Witchblade #125 is an over-sized 40-page comic, which launches the six part “War of the Witchblades” storyline. Since the events of First Born, Detective Sara Pezzini and dancer Danielle Baptiste have shared the mystical gauntlet, the Witchblade; but recently cracks have appeared in their relationship. The story is written by regular writer Ron Marz and ongoing artist Stjepan Sejic. The issue will be in comic shops on Wednesday, March 18th, 2009 and normally retails for $3.99.

“With a Witchblade movie in the works, and writer Ron Marz working on a long-term plan for the character, issue #125 is a great place to jump on to the series,” said Matt Price, co-owner of Speeding Bullet Comics in Norman, OK. “And getting that first taste for free is even better!  I applaud Top Cow for making this effort to draw in new readers to direct-market stores.”

Happy President’s Day

To celebrate the holiday, Marvel is releasing a free digital comic featuring Captain America and Spider-Man at the Gettysburg Address.  This digital comic arrives hot on the heels of The Amazing Spider-Man #583, where Spider-Man met President Obama.

“We were completely blown away by the overwhelming response to the Spidey Meets the President storyline.  Comic book shops have not been able to keep it on shelves, so we thought it would a fitting way to celebrate President’s Day by offering free online access to all fans to view and read the storyline – including some exclusive new content – only at Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited,” says Dan Buckley, President of Marvel Publishing.  “And in celebration of President Lincoln’s historic Bicentennial, we could think of no better tribute in the Marvel Universe than to have Spider-Man and Cap honoring one of his enduring legacies, the Gettysburg Address.”

While the “Gettysburg Distress” issue is free, users will need to create an account to access the content.  I wonder when Marvel will release Spider-Man meets Nixon, or the super-secret Wolverine/Jimmy Carter crossover issue.

More Comics Added to Marvel’s Digital Comics Unlimited

For those of you who were wondering when Marvel would up its catalogue of titles offered through its online digital comics service, the answer is now. The company has added 500 new issues to the line that span the range from the 50s through the early 2000s.

Older issues will keep fans feeling nostalgic like Amazing Fantasy, Tales to Astonish, Tales of Suspense and Strange Tales, while those looking for more recent comics can read new digital comics of Young Avengers, New Avengers and much more. All of these and a ton more have been digitized for your reading pleasure.

The complete list can be found at the Marvel website.

If there were only some download option available, I’d jump on this subscription service in a moment, but always having to go “on-line” to read a comic is not my cup of tea. Also, my iPod Touch won’t work with Marvel DCU, which is a bummer – not Marvel’s fault of course, but something Apple could work on to make the experience work.
