Marvel Unlimited

[ironymaiden]

A co-worker turned me onto Marvel Unlimited, and it is simply the best entertainment investment I have made in years. (For the uninitiated, its all-you-can-read back issues of Marvel comics as ebooks that scale to your screen.) The biggest barrier to comics for me has been that I read too damn fast.*
Let's see... I've been skipping all over time, reading the first few issues of X-men, Black Panther's origins in the Fantastic Four, the Runaways, Nextwave, and following around Kelly Sue Deconnick (Lady Sif, Rescue, Avengers Assemble) and now I'm starting Captain Marvel. The end of issue 1 made me cry. Excited to read more.

Truly, I live in the future with my electronic neverending comic book. *squee*


*Admittedly, the app does seem to seize up on me when I go through issues too quickly, but a restart fixes that.

Right. Because I need another time suck.
...
Is it searchable by writer or artist?

i was never a comics nerd as a kid. this sort of thing would have changed that. these days, as coffeedaiv notes, i'm not sure i need another attention-eater. but it sounds fun! :-)

Yes.

We love Marvel Unlimited. I got the subscription in December, for both of us, but Ogre's the one who's used it the most. He figures by cover price, for $10/month, he's probably read a couple thousand worth of comics.

yeah, i should do the math after this month. i already switched from the monthly to the annual after i had used it enough to determine that it worked really well (takes the cost down to under $6/month) and they even gave me a partial refund from the monthly. really pleased.
