Marvel Comics' digital comics subscription service, Marvel Unlimited, will now allow subscribers to access newly-released comics three months after they go on sale in physical and digital storefronts.
Marvel Unlimited contains over 28,000 comics spanning from the 1960s to the latest Marvel comics, including recent releases such as Age of Khonshu in Jason Aaron and Javier Garron's Avengers; Venom Beyond by Donny Cates; Al Ewing and Joe Bennett's Immortal Hulk; Jonathan Hickman and Leinil Yu's X-Men; Al Ewing and Marvel Stormbreaker artist Juann Cabal's Guardians of the Galaxy; and Al Ewing, Dan Slott, and Valerio Schiti's Empyre event series.
"Since the beginning of the year, we've seen our stories read tens of millions of times on Marvel Unlimited, and we've seen a rising number of fans now looking to dive into more of their favorite stories featuring Spider-Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, the X-Men, and more," Marvel New Media VP of Marketing Jessica Malloy said in a statement. "This expansion for Marvel Unlimited delivers exactly that: fans can now read more of their favorite comics sooner! No other service can provide this kind of value and access to so many Marvel comics in one place. We're thrilled to now be able to offer even more to readers."
"Marvel Unlimited has been one of our top performing digital offerings for Marvel fans -- especially now as we all continue to spend more time at home," Marvel New Media SVP and General Manager Shane Rahmani said. "This is one additional way Marvel Unlimited can provide a one-of-a-kind connection to the Marvel Universe, and we look forward to continue bringing fresh and exciting content on the service to new and loyal fans alike."
As an added bonus, new and existing subscribers will also be eligible to earn up to 6,000 Marvel Insider points from now until the end of October.
Previously, Marvel Unlimited added comics to its library six months after they arrived in comic shops. The service offers new Marvel Unlimited members a seven-day free trial of unlimited access for monthly and annual subscriptions, priced at $9.99 and $69, respectively. A new exclusive kit plan is also priced at $99 for a year.
Marvel Unlimited is available on the web, iPhone, iPad and select Android devices.
