Marvel has announced plans to replace Unlimited, its app that provides fans with access to thousands of comics, with a new app it has worked on with Webtoon. Between pricing, refunds, and an overlap between Unlimited and Marvel Comics when both will exist, there’s quite a bit of confusion surrounding how this is all going to work. That’s what we’re here for.

Marvel shared the news about its new app at New York Comic-Con alongside an update on its website for those not in attendance. The Marvel Comics app has been developed alongside Webtoon, an industry leader when it comes to digital comics, and it will officially launch worldwide on November 16, 2026.

That’s one month before Avengers: Doomsday hits theaters. I can’t imagine that’s an accident.

Marvel Comics will launch with more than 35,000 comics covering not just Marvel, but Star Wars too. That’s roughly how many are currently available through Unlimited, which hopefully means the current app’s entire library will be exported to Marvel Comics once the new way to access the superhero brand’s back catalog goes live next month.

So, once Marvel Comics arrives, what happens to Unlimited? Well, it wouldn’t make sense for both to exist, although for a little more than a month, that will be the case. Marvel Unlimited will be shut down, but not until December 28, 2026. There are a few milestones Unlimited will hit between now and then. The app is no longer accepting new signups - that’s the first step.
