After 19 years, Marvel is saying goodbye to its digital comics app
For the past two decades, Marvel Comics fans have had one major and reliable option for reading the company's library of comic books: Marvel Unlimited. That era will soon come to an end, as Marvel announced this week that it plans to retire the Marvel Unlimited app in December and replace it with a new option from an established digital comics provider.
Marvel says that current Marvel Unlimited members will be able to import their existing library and reading history to the new Marvel Comics app, but (unsurprisingly) the changeover has raised concerns among subscribers. For some, the switch to a new Marvel Comics app is great news.
Marvel plans to "sunset" Marvel Unlimited on Dec. 7. That's the last day that new content will be added to Marvel Unlimited. Marvel plans to completely remove the app on Dec. 28.
Prior to those dates, Marvel and Webtoon will launch a new Marvel Comics app on Nov. 16. The new Marvel Comics app promises to give readers access to more than 35,000 issues from Marvel Comics history and has been "rebuilt from the ground up for an even better reading experience." Marvel Unlimited subscribers will likely be happy about the latter part of that promise, as the existing app has ample room for improvement.
Marvel Unlimited subscribers will be able to import their libraries to the new Marvel Comics app following its launch on Nov. 16.
Marvel says that existing payment information on file with Unlimited will not be shared with Webtoon.
