Marvel Unlimited Launches on iOS With Subscription-Based Access to 13K Comics
For years, comic fans have asked Marvel to offer its digital subscription service on Apple’s iPad, but users were restricted to reading back issues with an iOS-incompatible Adobe Flash-based reader. Marvel began offering an HTML5-based, iPad-compatible reader a few months ago, but on Thursday the company launched its companion Marvel Unlimited app for iOS.
The free application requires users to subscribe to the newly renamed Marvel Unlimited service, which costs $10 per month, or $60 for a full year. The application comes with a free trial, though users must separately sign up for the subscription outside of the application, allowing Marvel to avoid Apple’s 30 percent share of all in-app transactions.
