They're penned by by top writers and illustrated by even better artists (ignoring anything traced by Greg Land). In that time I've discovered that The House that Stan Lee Built is putting out some of the best comics in its storied history. I've read more Marvel comics in the past three years with Marvel Unlimited than I have in my past 30 years of reading comics altogether. And when you can read every crossover title for a big Marvel event (like the just-released Secret Empire), rather than having to buy a bunch of issues for comics you don't usually care about, it's well worth waiting. It's slightly frustrating having to avoid comic spoilers for half a year, but, believe me, it can be done. Marvel Unlimited is still just $5.83 per month (billed annually at $69) and gives you access to over 20,000 digital comics (3,000 more than last year), from the 1960s all the way to six months prior to the current week (you can even upgrade to a premium package and get cool limited-edition pins, comics, and action figures). Life-long comics fan Patton Oswalt took to Twitter to register his complaints.Where else are you going to get a dapper Tony Stark action figure? Nowhere. But as we’ve seen in the past, when a legitimate business makes it harder to give you their money, piracy tends to increase. The volume sold of comics these days is so small that our personal business and purchases matter greatly. I 100% do not advocate the piracy of comic books. The best place to buy new comics, which made it easy to buy new comics every week has gone the way of the Kindle store. I no longer buy physical copies for a lot of reasons (limited physical space being the main one) and digital is my preferred avenue for consumption.
Overall, I think this is bad for the comics industry. My underpowered Lenovo Duet Chromebook handled loading, sorting, and grouping my 3800 issue library in under 5 minutes, thumbnails downloaded and read/unread status included. I sometimes questioned if I had a good enough tablet because of just how poorly the ComiXology app performed.
The app is miles ahead of where it was before.
