YACReader $1.99 Does the iPad need yet another comic reader? The answer is a resounding 'yes.'

Marvel Unlimited From $9.99 per month Marvel Unlimited, the comic book publisher's all-you-can-read subscription service, lets superhero fans page through decades of Marvel Comics history for the price of a single trade paperback per month.
