I love it when everyone "tries" to claim firsts in digital production and publishing/distribution... Since 1990 I offered a free FULL online viewing ( including the words ) of my printed comic books the day they were distributed to the stores! HA!

You don't say! Give it time, it will become retroactively true the more often they say it. That's how truth works these days.

DC's Justice League: Generation Lost #1 actually shipped first. Self-correction: the Iron Man annual I mentioned above was just the first day-and-date comic from the big two to be ANNOUNCED.

Granted, that was the one they split into three "chapters," which cost a dollar more combined than the print price, but still.

So they're still wrong.
