Want to read all the comics that inspired the Infinity Wars movies? There’s a handpicked selection for that too. Want an overview of Captain America’s history? Check out his “Start Here” guide. But, as well as good search tools, Marvel Unlimited features expertly editorially-curated reading lists for newcomers. There’s a belief among some that, with so many crossover events, timelines and adaptations of each character, it can be difficult to know where to start. It’s a particularly good jumping on point for comics newbies too. But for the majority of comic book readers, especially those not concerned with the latest editions, Marvel Unlimited represents an opportunity to binge on some of the greatest comic storylines ever conceived, at a very reasonable price. If you’re an absolute completist then you may find fault with some of the Marvel Unlimited offering. Discerning ‘True Believers’ of the universe established by Stan Lee, Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko will be able to spot the odd gap in the catalogue, while there’s a 6 month wait for the latest releases to hit the service. What it isn’t, it must be noted, is a complete archive of everything Marvel has ever done. From the very first Avengers outing to recent Miles Morales and Guardians of the Galaxy runs, it represents a very significant chunk of Marvel’s output over the last 80 (80!) years. Taking in multiple decades, hundreds of characters, dozens of story lines and more than 25,000 individual issues, it’s a treasure trove to simply browse, let alone to dive in and read in depth. As the Marvel Unlimited library can also be viewed on a desktop web browser, it’s available to be read on a laptop too – which also opens up the possibility of using a Chromecast to display the comic book tab or window of your Chrome browser on a big-screen TV too. The Marvel Unlimited app is compatible with devices running iOS 10.0+ and Android devices running Android 5.0+.
