Marvel has announced that it will be offering a range of its graphic novels on the new Nook Tablet launching November 16th (see “B&N Adding Nook Tablet”) and simultaneously on the Nook Color.  Titles planned for the launch include Civil War, Invincible Iron Man, Captain America, Thor by JMS, Astonishing X-Men, New Avengers, and Marvels. 

This appears to be a tit for tat move in response to DC’s announcement that it would offer 100 graphic novels exclusively on the Kindle Fire at launch (see “Watchmen on Kindle”), with aggressive pricing (see “Kindle Launches Graphic Novel Price War”), and Barnes & Noble’s response (see “B&N to DC: It’s On”).  It’s unclear what pricing scheme B&N will use on the Marvel graphic novels.
