This may be an overlooked part of the news coming out of Baltimore Comic-Con, but it shouldn’t be:
Brevoort also spoke to the future of “Infinite Comics” and Marvel’s commitment to digital-only comics near the end of the panel. “The real answer is yes, absolutely. We think that forum, digital comics, whatever forum that they take, is clearly where the future lies. We’re definitely going to be doing more with it.” He added, “I wouldn’t be surprised within the next year to see us roll out some kind of regular series in that format.”
It’s surprising that it’ll have taken Marvel quite so long to have a digital-only ongoing series, if/when it happens, to be honest; with Archie, IDW and DC (at least?) offering multiple ongoing digital series at this point, it makes Marvel look as if it’s playing catch-up to only get around to seemingly entertain the notion now. Perhaps when the eventual announcement comes, it’ll be something that allows the publisher to regain the upper-hand it once had in terms of digital initiatives.
