At least Marvel Unlimited actually seems to offer complete runs of its own comics, for the most part, though it is more expensive now.īut then, that’s sort of how comic books work-they sell lots of them for a few bucks each. Titles will cycle in and out from month to month, but I doubt that cycling will include the complete run of any of them. So, while it might be “unlimited” in the number of issues you can read per month, you’ll soon run up against the hard limit of the end of available issues on a series, and have to shell out extra to read more in it.
Comixology seems to want to get you hooked on a series so you’ll then go out and spend your own money to read more of it. Comixology Unlimited is more in the nature of a $6 per month sample platter. In fact, while there are a diverse range of comics available, they by and large constitute just the first plot arc or so. So, is this $5.99 a month a ticket to unlimited binge reading and catching up on complete runs of your favorite comic as you could do for your favorite TV series on Netflix? It includes some fairly popular titles, too, including Saga, Scott Pilgrim, Attack on Titan, and The Walking Dead. None of those publishers are Marvel or DC, but they do include Image, Dark Horse, IDW, Boom! Studios, Oni Press, Kodansha, Fantagraphics, Valiant Entertainment, and others. Marvel’s had it’s own subscription service (confusingly, also named Unlimited!) for years at this point, but DC only got on board relatively recently with the curated, rotating collection of digital comics available as part of its DC Universe streaming service.Amazon subsidiary Comixology has just launched a $5.99 per month “Comixology Unlimited” comic reading subscription plan, featuring thousands of comics from major publishers. It’s a great move for both Comixology and DC, especially the latter considering the publisher has been trailing behind in the subscription service game for a while. Here’s a small sample of some of the selections being added today, with plenty more also available:īooks of Magick: Life During Wartime (2004-2005)
