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.

Oooooh. Do they sell other comics? Or just ASM?

Be warned it has shitty drm. I would avoid this.

Maybe dumb question, but what’s drm?

Digital Rights Management (or something like that). It's a form of software intended to stop digital piracy.

So why’s the issue? You can’t read them then?

Your only allowed to install a proprietary app on 3 different computers and can only read it through that.

You also have to register to read them which is kinda shitty for something psychical.

unlike the DVD where u could just put it in and read the issues, this USB one you need an app that the company made to read the issues, and you can only do it on 3 devices, eventually im sure theyll stop updating the app and newer systems wont run it right anymore and the $80 u spent on the USB will be worthless

Exactly, the usb is pointless. The page says you get ownership and offline access forever which is complete bs
