Adventures in Marvel Unlimited

[lorddunlow]

So, I'm not out on Valiant yet. I caught up some, but can't get into it lately. Meanwhile, I've decided to read some old X-Men.

I thought about reading from the beginning, but I wasn't in the mood for Silver Age stuff. So, I decided to start with Claremont. When I started reading Giant Size X-Men, I realized I should probably read Hulk 180-182, so I pulled that up in the app. So far, I've really enjoyed this read through. I had never read any of these. Always loved X-Men due to the 90s TV show and I read a lot of the Jim Lee X-Men.

It's slow to start and still firmly in the old school Marvel kitsch, but I'm looking forward to all the well known story lines. Cool to experience it from the beginning.

Marvel Unlimited is amazing. They have almost everything now. There is a huge gap in New Mutants after #42, so I'm hoping by the time I get there in my reading that it will have the rest.

The great thing about it is if I decide to read backstory, I can just pull up the issue in question. Pretty cool.

I bought a 1-year subscription as a birthday gift to myself and it's fantastic. I really didn't know where to start so I went back to one of my first comics - Avengers 304. Then I got sidetracked with how the Heroes Reborn with Liefeld went (spoiler alert - it sucks!) then got sidetracked with Age of Apocalypse then finally settled into Remender's Uncanny Avengers which has led me right into Axis.

It's great. Well worth the money. A little overwhelming bc there's so much content on there. But it's easy to follow characters or crossovers or creators. I think it's a well designed app. I want to read a lot of the way old stuff but I need to find out how some recent storylines resolved.

I really love this app. I have had it for over a year and I have no plans of ending it in the forseeable future.

What is the annual membership fee at for this service?

$9.99 a month but I signed up for a year at $69. They also have an Unlimited Plus offer where you get like an exclusive action figure and some other stuff.

I think they're about 6 months behind what's in store. That's the time lag I've heard but I don't know for sure.

Thanks for the info - I'm more interested in the farther-back catalog than recent material, but I'm sure I'd get hooked on catching up if I join up. I have only read maybe a half-dozen new Marvel comics in the last 4 years or so. Who here has had an account for a number of years? I'm curious about seeing approximately what kind of rate of increase is happening with the annual cost.

I'll be renewing for my 3rd year in August and it has been $69/year each year. I actually spring the extra $30 for the figure just because it's fun.

Almost everything is on the app. There are some weird gaps, but for the most part almost all the silver age stuff is on there. It's actually 90s issues that are missing in general.

The app used to suck royally, but it is pretty great now. The only negative I have for the app is if you don't have data connection, you can only store 12 (I think) issues on the device.

You can also browse by event and it flows each book in the event in the intended order.
