Everybody needs a hero

After much success at the box office, Marvel Publishing aims to jump-start falling comic book sales by digitizing its print publications.

A new Marvel site, Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, includes 2,500 archived vintage comics and will add 20 comics each week.

Users pay around $10 a month to see comics in a web-based viewer.

The site will also feature new issues six months after they are first published, according to The Washington Post.

Marvel competitor DC Comics launched a similar site, Zuda Comics, last month.
