Marvel to go same day digital. AND, really coolly:

Marvel is also trying out a program where it includes a code with every physical copy of a comic that can be redeemed for a digital copy through Marvel's mobile app.

At least on the iPad, Marvel and DC's apps are just rebranded versions of the Comixology app. All of the stuff in their app is also available in the Comixology app.
