>M*rvel comics now have physical DRM, requiring you to scan the last page with an app in order to view it online
You think this'll be the move that finally defeats the competition? The guys at Shonen Jump must be seething they didn't think of it first.

Mousecucks REALLY eat this up and beg for more. Has there ever been a more docile group of consumer cattle than Mouseketeers?

You're trying way, way too hard.

Attention Shills, respond to this or fuck off.

>Benefits
None
>Drawbacks
Potentially inaccessible
Sets a precedent for more potentially inaccessible art or pages
Big dumb QR code in your floppy

If you can't add a benefit here, stop making out like there aren't valid complaints. This is an objective downgrade to just printing the damned page.

WSJ thought of that...and realized that it's fucking silly because their slop actually sells unlike the MCU sidejob

Oh yeah, that's gonna go over real well.

who cares

One you should be able to use physical media regardless of internet connection. Maybe you're deployed, maybe there's a power outage.

Two literally any corporation will only bother to host web services for two decades at max because why the fuck would you waste money hosting images after sales slowed? I can't purchase games on my 3DS or play The Crew, but I can read a book that was printed in the 80s without arbitrary missing pages.

You're doing great. Really making the case here.

Marvel did something back in 2010
They used QR codes as advertisements for the crossover event Age of X
They were in every book released that week instead of specific issues, and there were 5 in total

14 years later and the pages those QR codes no longer work because Marvel didn't maintain them

If it's so unimportant, why not just throw it in the book?

Marveldrones truly have no soul, they will defend anything Marvel does.

All those advertisements lost, like tears in the rain. And people say it's no big deal.

If I buy 6 issues of say Ultimate Black Panther, I paid a premium to get the same story I could have trade waited and bought for 20$

Titles that don’t sell monthly floppies get cancelled, so trade waiting is bad for creators and titles

Why tf am I paying 10$ more than the trade waiters and presuming the QR business spreads like a cancer to other books, getting less content?

They read Marvel in the first place, the magazine that has occasionally released a good book every decade since their legendary run in the mid-60s.

Nobody buys this, especially Disney fans.
