When I first got my iPad there was nothing I wanted more than to read comics and that was one of the first things I purchased. Like more hobbies though comics tend to snowball from you buying one or two books a week to buying 5-10 weekly. I used to have a folder at my local shop and it became a costly hobby but when I started reading books my iPad I succeeded in eliminating books everywhere but I was still buying a lot of books digitally. I always wanted a subscription based system and hoped someday we’d get it. Well true believers that day is finally at hand with Marvel Unlimited. Marvel Unlimited will give you access to over 13,000 books to start with more every week. The best part is the books can be read on your iOS devices and on your web browser as well. I am looking forward to Marvel Unlimited because it will save me some money and I can catch up on certain books I may have missed. I hope Android devices get some love so I can access my books from all my devices. After the announcement below you can see the app in action with some screenshots Marvel was kind enough to share with us.
