Saw this lying around in Best Buy after Christmas. Forty bucks for 16,000 pages worth of Amazing Spider-Man comics in PDF format (although it includes adverts). Everything looks pretty good, my only regret is that I bought the first 10-issue Spider-Man collection on CD months ago. Guess I can give that one away. Other reviews complain that there is some crinkling at the edges and yellowing of pages in some of the older issues, but who cares? Everything is highly legible so far.

The only annoying things are the images are a bit too big for my monitor when I first opened the files. By hitting Ctrl-L in Adobe Acrobat Reader, I can just fit the comic using my whole screen without scrolling, although occasionally I have to lean in a bit to read some of the smaller text. And some stories are concluded in non-Amazing Spider-Man comics, ending with lines like "See the conclusion in 'Peter Parker' #whatever," which are not included. But otherwise, it's money well spent: according to one review in the online Chicago Tribune, finding and owning the entire collection would cost tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Oh, and there is a big "Marvel" watermark on every page. Not visible enough to be distracting, but a blemish on an otherwise high-quality image. Also, the CDs are in a giant box but they aren't in jewel cases, but those stupid paper sleeves. Sigh.

Goes from Spider-Man's debut in The Amazing Fantasy #15, all the way to the 500th issue from December 2003. I am well into the '70s comics, having read the reprints of the '60s in my local Barnes and Nobles. No longer will I be a graphic novel leecher! (That's a lie, there are plenty other comics I can read without paying...but only after I get through these 11 CDs)

By the way how do you guys like the ASCII art? I hate that we have to host images offsite, and I wonder if it's an adequate substitute.
