Recently we learned all of DC Universe's original series will be migrating to HBO Max, and DC will relaunch the subscription service as the comic-focused DC Universe Infinite in January 2021. DC Universe is currently priced at $7.99 a month versus Marvel Unlimited's $9.99 price tag, but DC currently still follows a six-month release window for its comic library. This move may also be intended to help Marvel Unlimited remain competitive with the DC Universe app. But to be clear, IGN confirmed with Marvel that the three-month release schedule is a permanent change going forward, not a temporary response to that gap in publishing. Adjusting the schedule allows Marvel to skip right over that new release dead zone and continue weekly content updates. Because Marvel's primary distributor Diamond Comics temporarily halted new deliveries during the COVID-19 pandemic, Marvel Unlimited subscribers seemed about to face several months with no new books being added to the library. This shakeup comes at an ideal time for subscribers. We’re thrilled to now be able to offer even more to readers.” “This expansion for Marvel Unlimited delivers exactly that: fans can now read more of their favorite comics sooner! No other service can provide this kind of value and access to so many Marvel comics in one place. Marvel’s had it’s own subscription service (confusingly, also named Unlimited!) for years at this point, but DC only got on board relatively recently with the curated, rotating collection of digital comics available as part of its DC Universe streaming service.“Since the beginning of the year, we’ve seen our stories read tens of millions of times on Marvel Unlimited, and we’ve seen a rising number of fans now looking to dive into more of their favorite stories featuring Spider-Man, Captain America, Captain Marvel, Black Panther, the X-Men, and more,” said Jessica Malloy, VP of Marketing, Marvel New Media in a statement. It’s a great move for both Comixology and DC, especially the latter considering the publisher has been trailing behind in the subscription service game for a while. Here’s a small sample of some of the selections being added today, with plenty more also available:īooks of Magick: Life During Wartime (2004-2005)
