What’s also interesting about this service is that it’ll be available to stream on your phone or reading device, including iPad/iPhones, Kindle, and Amazon Fire. The streaming service does not include Marvel or DC Comics presently, although Marvel does have a partnership to allow you to buy Marvel comics through ComiXology’s purchase service.
This new extension of the ComiXology model has over 75 feature publishers such as Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, Oni Press, Kodansha Comics, Fantagraphics, and Valiant Entertainment. Unlike streaming services, however, the advantage here is that if a reader has interest in a comic they read on the unlimited service, they will then be able to turn around and purchase that comic on ComiXology. However, similar to Netflix, this will be a streaming-like extension of the service and will enable readers to have access to a large amount of content, with titles added and removed each month. Purchased by Amazon in 2014, this service previously only allowed individual sale of comic issues and collected additions.
This service will provide thousands of comics from major publishers–starting with a 30-day free trial, new subscribers will then pay a monthly fee of $5.99. This is a pretty easy gateway to the service, and a nice thing to do for comic fans stuck at home for an extended period of time.ComiXology has announced an unlimited comic book subscription service, ComiXology Unlimited. It’s also extra convenient because it’s very easy to turn it on and off – one click on your Comixology account page is all it takes to activate and shut down. Marvel was first out of the gate with Marvel Unlimited, and DC joined the party in 2019 with their everything-streaming platform, DC Universe.Ĭustomers sticking around past the free trial period would pay $5.99 a month to continue their subscription. Or they could accidentally keep reading X-Men collections after finishing Age of Apocalypse, and discover the Onslaught saga and ask for their money back on a free trial.Ĭomixology Unlimited was the second major comics streaming service. For people stuck in a house for several weeks, this could be a godsend. This move comes as comic shops across the country move to appointment only, mail order, and curbside pickup in response to state and local emergency declarations banning large gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
It boasts over 25,000 total comics available to read for free, with original comics by major creators and manga you’ve never heard of (but some of it very good). Comixology Unlimited is the subscription streaming service provided by the Amazon-owned largest digital comics distributor in the world, and just in time for our long, national social distancing experiment, they’ve extended their free trial period to two months. Comixology Unlimited features books from every major publisher.
