Marvel Unlimited For 99 Cents

marvel-unlimited-deal

To generate awareness during the San Diego Comic-Con, Marvel Unlimited has gone on sale — 99 cents for a single month. While not quite “unlimited”, the subscription grants your mobile devices access a large catalog of digital comics. Having previously used the service over a year, I’d say the iPad provides the best reading experience and I found the content to be Hulu-esque given a rotating and incomplete selection. But, hey, at 99 cents it’s surely worth (another) look! I assume we’ll be on the hook to cancel prior to a recurring $10 monthly fee kicking in… if the value isn’t there.

Stark: Disassembled, Part 5 Writer: Matt Fraction Artist: Salvador Larroca Colorist: Frank D’Armata Letterer: VC’s Joe Caramagna The Marvel meta-plot of the last seven or so years hasn’t been too kind to Tony Stark.

Comics: Hellblazer Pandemonium Review
