Here's what Marvel.com has to say about this announcement:

Marvel is proud to announce the all-new MARVEL'S GREATEST COMICS imprint, spotlighting Marvel's most-acclaimed series with new printings of these must-read issues priced at only one dollar each! This bold new venture, launching in March 2010, offers a perfect jumping on point for new readers as well as provides retailers with a great low cost first chapter to some of the hottest selling Marvel Collected editions. And to really get things going, the first title from this line, INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1, is free!

"We're proud of the books Marvel publishes and now not only are we giving retailers a great way to promote our top collections, but also giving consumers a chance to sample some of our top comics, maybe for the first time and at an unbeatable price," said David Gabriel, Marvel Senior Vice-President of Sales & Circulation. "MARVEL'S GREATEST COMICS represents one of the best values in comics today and with Free Comic Book Day only months after the initial launch, retailers will want to be well stocked."

The titles launching in March, at one per week, are:

March 3: INVINCIBLE IRON MAN #1
March 10: CAPTAIN AMERICA #1
March 17: WONDERFUL WIZARD OF OZ #1
March 24: THOR #1
March 31: PUNISHER MAX #1

those look interesting, I mean when I first heard about this I thought it was going to be the old school reprints from like the 60's...but these look like the newer stories. I doubt this will stick around to long.

hope they do New Mutants 98 (or Deadpool #1) and X men #1

Disney don't look so bad at all. (and we were all complaining about the mouse.)

hahahahahahahh, nice try marvel. You'd do better selling your back-issues at .99 cents. Liquidate them assets!

Hmmm, using the old ways huh, just like the old days, like "the marvel tales" series,getting reprints @ lower prices than getting the bulky TPB ... guess its more relaxing holding a single comic book..

I think its a great idea. New covers, classic stories and for just a buck. The value menu of comics!

Brilliant article Sora! :)

I actually have all of these apart from the Oz and Punisher ones (neither of which I'm all that interested in to be honest)

This seems like a great idea but I'd actually prefer it if Marvel did this with classic issues such as when The Avengers discovered Captain America or etc.

I've got "Invincible Iron Man" and "Thor". Issues 1-5 in both series, I believe. I want CAP and MAX #1, tho. I probably won't get them, but, even so.

Wonderful Wizard of Oz is just... well, wonderful. Anyone who likes classic stories turned into twisted comics, please find this and read it: PETER PAN AND THE WARLORDS OF OZ. 'Nuff said.
