While getting older means taking on annoying responsibilities, it also means even better versions of the things that delighted you as a kid -- like eating Kumamoto oysters instead of snot, or doing the naked post-shower towel shimmy with 800-thread-count Egyptian cotton. Get your comic books all growed-up, with Marvel Digital Comics.
Marvel Digital Comics offers a pirate's booty of instantly accessible issues (5000+ and growing weekly), all recreated from the original files and easily readable from any computer, provided it's not a Commodore 64. The e-vault's loaded with seminal fare such as Fantastic Four #s 1-100, Iron Man's origin story, and Spider-Man's debut in Amazing Fantasy -- featuring a hilarious "Uncle Ben" morning massage scene, and an amazing editor's note explaining that the word "adult" had been removed from the masthead to keep younger readers from feeling "awkward". There's also ferociously progressive fare, from The Punisher to Annihilation to Nextwave: Agents Of H.A.T.E.; lost-in-time nuggets such as 1985's future-Nordic Balder The Brave; and postmodern oddness like Wha...Huh? -- a nine-author collab courageous enough to ask the question "What if the Avengers all had beards?".
Both monthly and annual subscriptions are available, with the annual rate currently marked down 10%, or just $4.49 per month. If you can't swing that, then adulthood's obviously morphed you into the most terrifying comic book villain of all, Dr. Impoverished.
