I'd be up for an Unlimited thread.

Speaking of which, there's a new coupon code out - ODIN14 gets you one month for $4.99 from now until Sunday. Personally, I don't have time to take advantage of it this month, but I wonder if I can gift a one-month membership to myself to use later. What I'd really like is a code that would get me a year for about $50. None of the old MU codes are still good, right?

Yeah, I'm having hella problems with Unlimited. I assume it's because of all the people jumping on the 99 cent deal. :negative:

Pro tip. Buy a $.99 gift subscription and redeem it next month when the servers aren't swamped.

Not to beat a dead horse, but I'm trying marvel unlimited this month (after not reading any marvel comics since I was a kid and even then never regularly) and it seems that even the search is pretty busted. I was trying to look up Ms. Marvel out of curiosity and neither that (or any variant spelling) or "Kamala Khan" came up with the new series.

I finally found it by searching '"Kamala Khan" marvel unlimited ' on google. As incredibly stupid as it is, that might be an easier way to find issues than marvel.com's own search (or even the apps search?).

Its still incredibly annoying to start reading a run and pick up later on the web anyways (I don't own a tablet)

Ugly but fast (on a pc browser) - also note that it only links directly to the Flash viewer for marvel unlimited, but it's still a good index.

Not much of a deal, but they extended the 5$ first month offer for a week after it was originally expiring (code 042718). Just be aware it'll auto-renew you at $9.99 a month.

Kindle Unlimited seems to include a good chunk of the Comixology Unlimited books now - it might be worth keeping an eye out for deals on that. Good selection of Valiant, Boom, IDW, maybe 50 Marvel vol 1s, but just a few Image books.

I'm sure it varies by series but generally a chapter is from what I've seen the size of a western floppy in page length if not a little more

So 100 is still a lot

But 10,000 might not be a lot of series - isn't One Piece like a thousand chapters by itself?

It looks like Unofficial Handbook of Marvel Comics Creators is still up and scraping. It's not particularly friendly, especially for non-PC browsing, but it has some useful indexing. I used to use the yearly summary for browsing Marvel Unlimited:

It looks like the DC Comixology Unlimited books are now on Kindle Unlimited too.

There's about 300 books - the DC ones are mostly Vol 1s, but the Vertigo series usually have at least 2 volumes. Also a few big collections like Multiversity, 52, Injustice Year 1.

Has anyone found a good way to read Kindle Unlimited comics on PC? The Comixology reader will show me my purchased Kindle comics, but for Kindle unlimited I need to use the terrible (for comics) PC app or kindle cloud reader. The kindle ios and android readers aren't too bad for comics, but they don't have great kindle unlimited integration.

The answer is probably to do a trial subscription to Comixology unlimited instead.

If you're just reading Marvel on Comixology Unlimited right now there's no comparison. Marvel Unlimited has a huge selection with entire runs of series - you don't have to stop reading after the first one or two volumes. And it should go through 2019 instead of just having a few things to pick from 2018.

Seems to be pretty comparable to Marvel Unlimited.

Is this what DC Universe had or a larger library?

DC Universe is currently listing 23,613 issues, so not quite the size of Marvel, but enough to keep you busy for a while. I don't remember it having an impressive library when it came out though.

Edit: I was 1,000 issues short, (I had 22,613) they should have no problem getting to 24,000 by January

Just a reminder to everyone thinking about this, make sure to manually change the payout percentages, the defaults, even the one that's supposed to be the most supportive of charities, completely gently caress charities.

I read this and thought "How bad can it be?"

Yeah, the default distribution for the 25$ bundle gives 40% to Humble, WTF?

$13.75 to Image Comics
$1.25 to HFC (designated charity for this bundle)
$10 to Humble

You can adjust the Humble cut down to $7.50, so that's a minimum cut of 30%.

Some of those links point to Marvel's web index of issues but I don't know if you can use them to read on Unlimited - I'm not currently subscribing.
