And you can also do these on the mobile app.īecause of Marvel’s massive catalog, you may be wondering if it’s difficult to find which titles are eligible for their subscription service. Unlike Comixology, you can tap on the panels, which are not blurry. These are all-new in-universe stories, which are told in vertical format.Īs for the reading experience, Marvel’s web reader is top-notch. When it comes to content, Marvel has its own Infinity Comics. What I find impressive is that Marvel Unlimited has issues available that were released decades ago but are now available for the first time in digital. There are also trending, backlist, and premiere titles available on the app. The reading guides are helpful especially if you don’t know where to start or if you’re a newbie to the comic world. You’ll see recommended series, weekly new releases, popular series, reading guides, popular characters, and select content creators. Marvel Unlimited’s app is much more grand. There’s lots of external links to visit when accessing content, and synchronization between the website and the apps is confusing. Overall, using Comixology can be jarring. But if you want to know what happens next, you are forced to buy the next one. When reading a series, you can access the first ones for free. They’d have to buy titles on Amazon and have them synced to mobile devices.Ĭomixology Unlimited can be misleading. If the mobile app feels bare-bones, the web app is terrible as there aren’t a lot of reading options.Īdditionally, Android users can’t buy titles directly in-app because of a recent Google policy update. What’s worse is that the images are blurry. There’s a zoom option but you can’t view a specific panel. Unlike in the mobile apps, you can’t tap on a comic panel to zoom it. The titles you purchase are accessible via Kindle Cloud Reader, which is worse than the built-in and efficient Comixology web reader they had before. Meanwhile, though they said that they’ve already addressed reader complaints back in February, reading on the web app is still not recommended.

It is possible Amazon isn’t yet finished figuring out the whole shebang. In the library alone, you can only see your downloaded titles.

The app, while providing a great reading experience, feels bare-bones.
