Shonen Jump, the popular manga anthology geared to teenage boys, will switch to a weekly digital edition beginning in January 2012.

$26/year for the most popular Manga in the world, 2 weeks (rather than months or years) behind the Japanese releases. Brilliant.

DC and Marvel have nothing competitive and should. Their product lines are incomprehensible, with tons of titles for popular characters and crossovers. There is no simple “subscribe to this for $30 to get the best of Marvel on an iPad” or even a digital “I want to read Batman comics for $20/year” offering that is compelling.
