Ahoy Captain Cats here and today we have another round of comic book news round up so let’s get going.

According to comic book the only two ways that one can get their fix of Marvel comics via digital you have to either go through the Marvel Comics app on your mobile devices and ComiXology. Now, this can be either good or bad for not just for them, but for everyone other comic book companies because they can affect the industry in the long run.

This year the Clown Prince of Crime turns 80. The Joker was introduced back in Batman #1 on April 25, 1940, and from that day on The Harlequin of Hate has been a thorn to the side of The Dark Knight.
