Spotlight: Marvel Free Digital Comics, 7/20/10

This week Marvel Comics is offering three free comics through their iPhone/iPad app:

Amazing Spider-Man #558

Writer: Bob Gale

Artist: Barry Kitson

Original Release Date: August 13, 2008

Spidey faces off against Menace and Freak in this nice little issue that's a great jumping-on point if you're not too familiar with the current storylines.

Captain America #37

Writer: Ed Brubaker

Artist: Steve Epting & Jackson Guice

Original Release Date: April 16, 2008

This issue marks the beginning of "Act III" of the epic "Death of Captain America" storyline.

Ultimate Iron Man II #1

Writer: Orson Scott Card

Artist: Pasqual Ferry

Original Release Date: December 12, 2007

I've been always meaning to catch up with Card's Ultimate Iron Man largely based on his rep as a science fiction writer, and I love Pasqual Ferry's art. The Ultimate Iron Man series features the "young genius" version of Tony Stark.

So there you have it -- three free Marvel comics to check out on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch. You can access Marvel's app here.
