This is a result of the eternal feud between Apple and ComiXology's parent company Amazon. The iOS version doesn't allow users to directly purchase books in the app itself, instead directing them to the ComiXology website. There is one other app-specific quirk worth noting. The app lacks that feature, which can result in a lot of trial and error if you're simply trying to find a new Batman comic to read. The website at least offers an option to filter search results to include only those books available on Unlimited. There's no option to view a full, organized list of all available Unlimited titles. This is a pretty easy gateway to the service, and a nice thing to do for comic fans stuck at home for an extended period of time.The one downside to Unlimited being integrated with the rest of ComiXology is that it can be difficult to navigate the Unlimited library if you don't know exactly what you're looking for. It’s also extra convenient because it’s very easy to turn it on and off – one click on your Comixology account page is all it takes to activate and shut down. Marvel was first out of the gate with Marvel Unlimited, and DC joined the party in 2019 with their everything-streaming platform, DC Universe.Ĭustomers sticking around past the free trial period would pay $5.99 a month to continue their subscription. Or they could accidentally keep reading X-Men collections after finishing Age of Apocalypse, and discover the Onslaught saga and ask for their money back on a free trial.Ĭomixology Unlimited was the second major comics streaming service. For people stuck in a house for several weeks, this could be a godsend. This move comes as comic shops across the country move to appointment only, mail order, and curbside pickup in response to state and local emergency declarations banning large gatherings to prevent the spread of COVID-19. It boasts over 25,000 total comics available to read for free, with original comics by major creators and manga you’ve never heard of (but some of it very good). Comixology Unlimited is the subscription streaming service provided by the Amazon-owned largest digital comics distributor in the world, and just in time for our long, national social distancing experiment, they’ve extended their free trial period to two months. Comixology Unlimited features books from every major publisher.
