    Will there be a Marvel Mart page where shops can buy a business card ad? Does Olympia House or GRIT have a website? Or maybe, if you click the right link at the right time, you’ll win a Toys R Us shopping spree!

    Continuing on from Torsten’s cool post,
    I’m thinkin’: Start the Next Marevl Big Event in print in comic floppies.
    Then, in quick order, send the reader to a website, where they PAY to read a crucial portion of the story online.
    Then, get them back to the comic shop for the subsequent portion.
    Much fun!
