Deal Alert: Try Marvel’s Awesome Unlimited Service For Just $.99!
Briefly: I’ve been a subscriber and fan of Marvel Unlimited since the service’s iPad app was released just under a year ago. The app (on both iPad and Android) still leaves a lot to be desired (it’s slow, zooming kinda sucks, and it only lets you store 12 issues for offline reading), but the service as a whole is excellent, and definitely worth the $69/year asking price (or $99 for the plus option).
In celebration of SXSW (at which the Geekscape co-produced Doc of the Dead will be premiering), Marvel is letting new users (and cancelled subscriptions) check out the service for one month, for just $.99. This means that for less than a buck, you’ll have access to Unlimited’s expansive catalog (well over 15,000 issues) on your computer, Android or iPhone, and Android Tablet or iPad. It’s awesome, and it’s addicting, and you’ll definitely want to keep your subscription going after the month is over.
You can take a look at the full release below for more info, and be sure to let us know if you’ll be partaking in this awesome opportunity.
Marvel is celebrating SXSW Interactive 2014 by offering fans access to nearly 15,000 of Marvel’s greatest comics- including the top-selling Age of Ultron event, all the first issues from the game-changing Marvel NOW! initiative and more– for an entire month via the ground-breaking Marvel Unlimited app…for only 99 cents! Fans can access some of the most important stories in pop culture history while online, and take twelve digital comics with them on the go, even when offline!
Not only is this the most comics ever offered by Marvel – or any comics company – at this price point, but the Marvel Unlimited library offers more digital comics than any other major comic book company.
Accessible through your desktop browser and the Marvel Unlimited mobile app – Marvel Unlimited is a member subscription service that gives members unlimited access to over 15,000 issues of Marvel’s classic and newer titles. More classic and newer issues are added every week – as early as six months after they’re in stores!
