Unless you were really dedicated, it was impossible to read the beginning stories or stay caught up on a series. Just like Netflix lets you go back and see every Batman movie from the beginning, you should be able to read an entire series online. If the big two would put their archives online, it'd probably upset a lot of the collectors, but I'd be willing to pay $10 a month to be able to read episode of Flash Gordon. Once they get past the scarcity issue, I think that they would attract a much wider audience.
