In light of Marvel’s service being a vast archive available for $15, it would have been nice to have a tiered option allowing more access to more comics. Anything beyond that, well, you can pick up the collections from Comixology. Many comics are limited to just the first volume. While the range of titles is deep, however, the amount you can read from each title is relatively thin. Equally impressive is that the service isn’t limited to recent issues. You can find issues of critically acclaimed books like Love & Rockets or Dark Horse’s original run of Aliens comics that either are unlikely to be on library shelves due to content, or just not often in stock at comic-book stores. So while you won’t find any Superman or Avengers, you will find pretty much everything else. So Comixology Unlimited, a new subscription service just announced for digital readers, has the virtue of being a good place to start.įor $6 a month, you get access to a surprisingly deep and growing library of comics from every publisher short of Marvel, which runs its own $15 a month subscription service, and DC, which has yet to offer such a service. Even waiting for a discount on digital comics means you might be paying $2 an issue to get caught up on a book. Trade collections are a better bulk deal, but they’re still $15 to $20 a pop for a softcover. Individual issues run $3 to $4, sometimes as high as $8 depending on the page count and the publisher. The ComiXology app is available on Fire Tablet, Android, iOS and web browsers.One of the fundamental problems of picking up comics as a hobby is that comics are expensive. This also includes original series exclusive to ComiXology.ĬomiXology Unlimited is $5.99 a month with the 60-day free trial starting now. The original free trial was 30 days, but for a limited time, it will be extended to 60 days. ComiXology Unlimited is the Netflix version that offers readers unlimited reading of over 25,000 comics, graphic novels and manga from DC, Marvel Image, Dark Horse, and more for a monthly fee. To help ease things for comic book fans, ComiXology Unlimited has a free trial that will last for 60 days.ĬomiXology is a cloud-based platform for digital comics with a library of over 200 million comics.
The comic book industry is also hurting with Diamond Comic Distributors ceasing distribution of new weekly products including Marvel and DC comics.
A big chunk of the entertainment industry is on hiatus with movies like Wonder Woman and Black Widow being pushed back and theater chains closing temporarily.
