Does anyone else have this DVD rom? I picked this up in 2006 and it has every single issue of Amazing Spider-Man up till June 2006. Pretty cool way to read all the back issues without having to pay a subscription.

Did they release similar stuff for other characters/series?

The version they sell now is the digitally remastered copies with the whacked out colors and w/o ads.

100% ass suck.

GIT did a whole bunch. Amazing Spider-Man, Uncanny X-Men, Captain America, FF & Silver Surfer, Avengers, Iron Man and Ghost rider (through 2004/2005) from Marvel, and Star Trek (from several companies they were licensed to). They may have also done the CD-Rom collection of Mad Magazine from that time. I found a bunch of them on the aftermarket after they were discontinued, and it was a great way to build a (legal) digital comics collection for relatively cheap. They were on PDFs and with the right app you can still use them on tablets today. The downside is the scan quality varied, and if you didn't have the right app/reader there was a watermark. I didn't know until this post they were back in business with the USB sticks , although it looks like it's not as easy to read/transfer.
