the short: try amazon, google, and/or screen caps. if it's a generic reader, anything in pdf should work and possibly jpeg/jpg.

the long:
amazon seems to have a selection of comics for the kindle. i don't know what the interface situation with that is. i hear kindle stuff's kind of crap for compatibility.

it seems you've found Marvel's online reader by subscription service on their website (http://marvel.com/digitalcomics). i don't know if they have anything for download yet, but the comics being digital in the first place is a good step in that direction. if it isn't there now, if should be soon, so keep checking.

as for getting it off the reader (which might be vaguely illegal even if you are subscribed), the reader itself is a java script, so i don't think you can rip the images from the source code, like i would normally suggest. someone better that me at this could possibly tell you how to hack the java itself. the only other thing i can think of is screen caps (screen capture) (print screen doesn't seem to work).

also, a google search for any combination of "marvel ebook e-book comic pdf" pulls up useful things. my friend found some form of digitalized x-men. A lot of it looks vaguely copyright infringing, but it doesn't bother me if it doesn't bother you. you may have to torrent for it. There also seem to be a multitude of less sophisticated online readers. you can search them, too. you may be able to bundle several jpgs from the reader sites into a pdf with some creative bouncing around of software. I have yet to figure that one out, but i hear that some extended version of Acrobat (or some other Adobe thing) does it.

the websites i found are things like jpeg and pdf. depending on your reader, that might be what you need. if it's a generic reader, anything in pdf form should do it.

some sites i found.

this one seems like it could be the closest to what you're looking for, if you can get it to work, but be careful; it looks kinda shady:

i hope this helps. good luck.
