Also, is this 'digital commentary/behind the scenes thing Marvel's way of rationalizing a $3.99 price tag, or will that bump the price up (and then they will say, 'We'll we're giving you extra digital content, so you need to pay us another dollar') again. And finally, will this work with an iPhone, or will we just have to wait for someone to hack that?

It sounds like it'll be a little more than what Comixology already does with the guided view. Sounds like word balloons will be more animated along with some of the art. I guess we'll have to see it in action to fully judge it, but it sounds like empty bells and whistles to me.

As for the "augmented reality" thing, I suspect it'll work with iPhones/Android phones, but who knows. It just strikes me as being cumbersome, especially as seeing how Double Feature does something similar in a much more user-friendly way.

But yeah, this, along with the free digital copies, sounds like they are justifying their current high prices and most likely a $4.99 price tag by year end.

Maybe I'm being naive or giving people too much credit, but I just can't imagine $4.99 flying. But I basically only buy trades and digital now, so what do I know.
