This would actually get me to buy comics again.  Currently I only subscribe to the marvel online digital comics, which while the image quality is pretty good, their "player" sucks.  Anything that isn't marvel online I steal.  Yeah I said it I STEAL.  Really it's only an issue here or there, or I borrow TPB from a comic friend.  

I can't wait!!  Is there information somewhere a beta program?

Regarding the 99 cent price....  Let's do a little math.  So most comics are 2.99-3.99.  Your local comic shop is probably buying those at around 40-60% of cover price, so let's assume 50%.  That's 1.50-2.00.  We don't know, but we can guess that Diamond is taking 30-50% of that money.  So the publisher is only going to get .75 $ on the low end to 1.40 on the high end, per issue sold.  If you don't have the printing, paper, production and shipping costs, publishers might actually make more money from a digital comic than they would on a print issue.   Now, that was all pure educated guess work so I might be complete wrong, but I don't think I am THAT far off.
