Hey Hey comics fans - Marvel Comics are now available on the iPhone via comiXology and Panelfly, with the ever-popular XMen titles (among others) leading the eBook-focused charge reports Macworld.

Titles including Astonishing X-Men, Captain America, X-23, X-Men: Age of Apocalypse, Marvel Zombies, Iron Man and Amazing Spider-Man, all of which are available now.

In an exclusive interview with MTV News, Marvel president and publisher Dan Buckley, "We’ve been kind of wrestling with developing a motion comics product for the last several years," Buckley told MTV News.

"Vestiges of it were even done when Bill Jemas was here with the 'Ultimate Spider-Man' piece, but it wasn’t quite what we wanted."

He added: “With the advent of the iPhone, it became an item where we felt we could get a lot more mass-market distribution.”

Seriously... Who would buy this?  I wouldn't download it for free, much less pay for it.  This whole motion comics thing is such a joke.
