Now (as of May 2017), Marvel comics are included in the library as well!Ĭonsidering a single trade of a first volume is typically in the $9.99 range, that’s steal absolutely one of the most affordable ways to sample some great comics. For a 30 day free trial and subsequent $5.99 a month you can read all sorts of great Image, Dark Horse, Boom, Fantagraphics, Manga books (and many more). This doesn’t mean Comixology Unlimited isn’t still a good value.Īt launch (May 2016), Comixology Unlimited includes first volumes and single issues across almost all the non-Big 2 (Marvel & DC) publishers. For example, you can read the first two volumes (12 issues) of The Walking Dead, but if you want to continue on with a series that now ranges well over 150 issues, you have to purchase the remainder on Comixology.įor a service calling itself “Unlimited,” it’s pretty reasonable to observe that it is actually very limited. You can not binge read comics much at all, and the library is instead designed to give you a taste of a wide variety of comic book series.

That said, Marvel Unlimited has full, complete runs of the vast majority of Marvel series since 1961. Marvel does not place brand spankin’ new comics in the MU library until 6 months after their release, and there are blind spots in the catalog that a dedicated team regularly updates. One of my absolute least favorite criticisms of Marvel Unlimited is that it’s not “truly” unlimited. Is Comixology Unlimited the answer to all our comics bingeing prayers?Ĭool, but limited Unlimited, As In ‘Defined by Limitations’ The promise of a “Netflix for Comics,” spread across various publishers and genres has been the holy grail of digital comics readers about as long as I can remember (I have long-term memory issues). Comixology shocked the comics world (and plenty of creators) this week with the announcement of Comixology Unlimited, the digital comics answer to Marvel Unlimited, Spotify, Netflix, and subscription library services.
