Marvel Unlimited for iOS appears, brings comics subscriptions to iPhones and iPads for $60 a year
Posted in: Today's Chili 
Fans who follow the goings on in the Marvel universe just got a better way to do so… assuming they own an iOS device. With the debut of the Marvel Unlimited app, iPhone and iPad owners can now access Marvel’s full 13,000 issue back catalog for a mere $60 per annum, or $10 a month. Subscribers can also keep up to six titles directly on their device for offline reading. This isn’t the first time the publisher has courted digital denizens, as Marvel’s subscription-based comics service has long been available on the web and it’s been making digital copies of titles available for years. However, this is the first native app for iOS granting offline access to Marvel’s full collection, and that, friends, is a reason to celebrate.

For comic book readers, smartphones and tablets have introduced ways to interact with their favorite comic book series without having to go out and buy a new one every time an issue is released. Having all of your comics available to read on your smartphone or tablet devices is certainly a treat, although buying them individually doesn’t make it a cheap hobby.
Marvel is announcing today it’s subscription-based Marvel Unlimited, which offers access to the company’s catalog of over 13,000 published comics that span a period of over 70 years, is now available for iOS. The subscription costs $10 a month or $60 for a yearly subscription, although in order for newer comics to be included in the Marvel Unlimited subscription, it needs to be available for six months, which we know could put a damper on your weekly comic book discussions with your friends at your local Applebees.
Marvel’s original comic book app will continue doing what it does as its purpose is to deliver new comics in a digital format, although we hope one day Marvel decides to bring both apps together into one unstoppable comic book-serving application.
