I See Posts Before My Eyes

Anonymous asked: I know that the Marvel Unlimited books are scanned from printed copies. So what's up with some books missing things? I went on an issue of the X-Force series from 2004 and all the narration boxes were missing but you can see an outline of them.

Your post from two days ago::

The Marvel Unlimited books aren’t scanned from printed copies of the books. Where did you hear that?

if something is missing in a book like that, it’s probably a digital error. If you can point me towards teh specific issue or issues, I can relay that info to our tech guys and see about geting the problem fixed.

When asked about letters pages being preserved in Marvel Unlimited, you wrote “It”s not a rights issue, more of a return on time and space issue.””

As a web developer and programmer, I can assure you that a single page of a digital comic takes up very little space. It’s practically negligible. Meanwhile the value of the letters pages to fans and future historians is immense. You are archiving both the history of the Marvel universe, and the cultural history of *our* universe. I hope you and your colleagues will reconsider this.

As I mentioned the first time, the files for those digital releases come from our hard copy collections—and in those, they do take up space.

So perhaps there was a miscommunication here?
