Unlimited Marvel Comics for $9.99/Month

If you haven't seen the new Magic the Gathering Strategy Game yet, it's definitely worth checking out. You can find it here. Definitely looks convertible into 'Scape to me.

Have you tried this? I haven't, but from what I've heard, it's not the new issues, just older ones and not the entire backlog, either. Is that true?

No, I haven't. I unfortunately have no monthly income right now, so this sort of thing is out of the question for me right now. I just thought others might be interested in it.

I can't see paying more a month for that than for Netflix. I spend $10 a month at most on comics right now (and wouldn't mind seeing that go down), and Marvel doesn't have Invincible or The Walking Dead.

Marvel Unlimited's library is current through the last six months or so. And the library isn't entirely comprehensive; I've run into a few things I wanted to read that just weren't there. They're missing the first volume of Thunderbolts and almost all the 2099 stuff, for instance.

It's still a pretty large collection, though. If you're looking for an iconic run or something fairly recent (2000s onward), it's probably got what you're looking for. I've used it to read through Thunderbolts from New Thunderbolts onward, Ultimate Spider-Man, Cable and Deadpool, Joe Kelly's Deadpool, Chris Priest's Black Panther, Bendis's Avengers, and Remender's Uncanny X-Force, and plenty of other things. I also keep up with a few books as they update (roughly six months behind publishing schedule).

I do have to say that the service is almost always temperamental and glitchy, when used from a browser; be ready to refresh your page two or three times until you can get the comic to load. The app is more reliable.

In short, it's a pretty solid service that hasn't totally worked the kinks out yet. I like it, but the interface issues might be enough to discourage you. A couple times a year, they'll have a promotion where they drop the monthly price down to 99 cents, so it might be worth waiting around on that if you're unsure about giving it a shot.

Me to, all the boards I've saw set up there was little H.A. I think this was the reason they wanted to get rid of heroscape, so they can change the name but keep the style.

Marvel Unlimited is great. Like Ronin said, the interface is sort of crappy, and there's definite gaps, but if you like reading Marvel stuff and have some blind spots, it'd well worth trying.

I agree on waiting for the 99 cent deals. I just do that - read a ton of comics for one month, keep a list of stuff that I want to read in the meantime, and when they have another one read all of them. It's awesome.

Has anyone read the arrow comic books? How many did they make and are they good?

[GreyOwl]

Is there a mailing list or something that I can sign up for, so that I can be notified when they have the $0.99 sales?

They are pretty decent they coincide with the show and fill in some gaps here and there. There was about 35-40 in the first volume, the current one is about 6 issues in and its Arrow 2.5 so its about the gap between the 2nd and 3rd season.

Just finished this. Super excited.

99% sure it's Attilan for so many reasons, but I'm curious if they're going to get there any time soon. Like, I don't think they have a budget for a city as impressive as that 3D model suggests, and they're obviously coming out with the Inhumans movie, so... how's it going to work?

Maybe they'll find what used to be Attilan and it's all ruins but with a tease that A) Inhumans are still out there and B) there's a new city somewhere. Like, in the comics, they were originally in the Himalayas, then they moved to the moon. So maybe that happened?
