comixology unlimited free with amazon prime

Not to be confused with that other Marvel Unlimited program.īut wait, there’s more. Now, Marvel is on board at no added cost to subscribers, which smells like victory even if it’s not the full “all you can eat” buffet of gluttonous comic fans’ dreams.

Until yesterday, the titles available through that program included popular works from publishers like Image, Dark Horse, IDW, Boom! Studios and other independent imprints, but not the “Big Two” – Marvel and DC – that account for the lion’s share of sales through the direct market. Instead, the $6 monthly fee provides access to a rotating assortment of over 10,000 titles and story arcs designed to provide a point of entry for new readers and a low-risk opportunity to explore titles that readers might not open their wallets for at the comic shop. Though the comiXology service is branded as “Unlimited,” it does not actually offer unlimited access to the company’s vast inventory of over 100,000 from over 125 publishers worldwide. These include comiXology Unlimited (selected digital comics from various publishers, $5.99 per month after 30-day free trial), Kindle Unlimited (ebooks, audiobooks, magazines and comics for $9.99 per month after 30-day free trial), and Prime Reading (selected books, comics and other publications included with an Amazon Prime membership for US customers). Paying one monthly price for access to a whopping stack of comics, including complete storylines, is not only a good deal, but a great way to dip your toe in the water if you're not sure a particular series, or comics in general, is for you.Īmazon has been offering digital comics sampling services on different platforms and different price points for a while. If you are not a hardcore fan - or even if you are - that adds up fast considering most comic stories sprawl to multiple titles and issues. Typically, digital comics sold individually cost as much as they do in the store: $2.99 and up per 22-page issue, $9.99 and up for a trade collection or graphic novel.
