Does Marvel Unlimited have guided view like the regular Marvel app does?

i havent used it on the phone just my ipad
as far as the guided view i am not sure what that is as i dont use the regular marvel app.
once you view an older comic you can at the end of the comic proceed to the next one with the click of a button

guided view is basically panel by panel viewing, rather than page by page (or partial page scrolling)

Do we think there's validity to the idea that Marvel doing this (and going to continue doing this kind of thing) to try and cripple Fox's hold on these characters on film? I've read Marvel has put a stop on writers/artists creating any new characters within the properties that Fox owns.
People are saying Wolverine will stay dead until Fox relinquishes the rights back to Marvel. Is that true, do we think?

Yeah poor box office or at least perceived poor box office(the Spider-Man movies make money just not as much money as Sony wants) is the only way Marvel will get the rights back and they will have to pay a ton for the privilege. I don't think removing the characters from the comics will have any impact. Its a niche market. I get not wanting to create any new characters but lets face it they haven't really created any iconic new X-Men in a really long time. Sony seems to be panicking so there is a chance they work something out and share Spider-Man with Marvel. I don't see the X-Men going back until Hugh Jackman hangs it up since he is the glue holding that whole franchise together. If he goes and the franchise can't recover maybe but I doubt it. Fox will hold on for dear life. If the new FF movie is a bomb I bet Marvel can get that back which would be cool. The FF are really hard to get right so the chances are high it will be a disappointment financially.
There have been rumors for a while that next Spring Marvel Comics is rebooting so Wolverine could be back soon.

Yeah its a lot of fun. The first issue went a little too far with the Morrison-isms but the second was really cool.

I went into Forbidden Planet today in NYC and bought a bunch of stuff, mostly based on the cover art and a quick leaf-through. I don't know anything about any of these books, except that Kaius's avatar is from Saga.
Brian K. Vaughan / Fiona Staples- "Saga" book 1 (big hardcover thing)
Jeffrey Brown- "Unlikely"
Ludovic Debeurme- "Lucille"
Jeff Lemire- "Essex County"
Brian K. Vaughan / Pia Guerrera- "Y- The Last Man Vol.1: Unmanned"
John Layman / Rob Guillory- "Chew" #1
Matt Kindt- "Mind MGMT" #1
Chris Dingess / Matthew Roberts / Owen Gieni- "Manifest Destiny" #1
Fraction Zdarsky- "Sex Criminals" #1
