Remember the failed promotion by Comixology and Marvel that started at the SXSW conference and ended with the mother of all gamma-irradiated server-issues? The promo — which gives Comixology users access to more than 700 Marvel #1 issues — will be making a comeback on April 11, 2013. At least, that’s the date I received in a recent email (if you have another date, please let me know in the comments section). This time around, access to the promo will be tied to your Comixology login. Here’s an excerpt from the email update I received:
On Thursday, April 11th, we will begin sending out invites with your personalized link to access over 700 FREE Marvel #1 issues, so be on the lookout for your email!
Once you receive your Marvel #1 invite, you will have 48 hours to choose your FREE Marvel #1 issues!
I was able to nab just under 20 #1s before the servers crashed. Hopefully a private link system will help Comixology manage the traffic.
If you’re not a Comixology member and want to take advantage of the promo, click on this link to sign up. If you’re already in the club then please let me know what free comics you pick up later this week.
Picked up 667 freebies. How many did you nab?
I didn’t get any! I never received the invite!!
Did you click on the signup link in the story?
G’ah! I misread it! I thought if i had a Comixology acct that i would get it!!
