Pros & Cons

    • Thousands of comics.
    • Wallet-friendly, all-you-can-eat subscription plans.
    • Option to buy select comics.
    • Slow-loading pages.
    • Lacks the most recent releases.
    • Can only download 12 comics at a time for offline reading.

Comixology's Comics app may be the face of the digital comics space, but voracious Marvel readers will find Marvel Unlimited (from $9.99) a satisfying alternative. Instead of focusing on individual issue sales as the Editors' Choice award-winning Comixology does, Marvel Unlimited (also available on iOS and PC) lets users dig through a library of more than 15,000 digital comics, and, depending on the subscription tier, offers the most hardcore-of-the-hardcore plenty of geektacular bonuses, too.

Comixology offers a wide array of publishers and day-and-date releases (Marvel Unlimited releases have a six-month lag), but dedicated Marvel heads who want to sample books from throughout the company's 75-year existence without spending a small fortune will find a lot to like, despite the app's online requirements and slow page-load times.

About Our Expert

Jeffrey L. Wilson

Jeffrey L. Wilson

Managing Editor, Apps and Gaming

Since 2004, I've written about consumer tech for many publications, including 1UP, Laptop, Parenting, Sync, Wise Bread, and WWE. I now apply that knowledge and skill set as the managing editor of PCMag's apps and gaming team.

The Technology I Use

As a member of the App & Gaming team, I use a wide variety of apps and services. Google Drive is an essential file-syncing service for moving documents between team members in this work-from-home era. Scrivener has been an invaluable writing tool as I rework my fiction manuscript. YouTube Premium and YouTube TV deliver hours of entertainment (though I only use the latter service during the F1 and NBA playoff seasons).

In terms of hardware, I use a Lenovo Thinkpad Carbon X1 laptop for work and an Origin PC tower for playing PC games. I also have a Steam Deck, which lets me play my favorite titles under a shade tree. Of course, I have a smartphone, and the Google Pixel 9a is my handset of choice.

My main input devices are the Das Keyboard 4 Professional and Logitech MX Vertical Ergonomic Mouse, though I bust out the Hori Fighting Commander Octa or Hori Fight Stick Alpha when mixing it up in fighting games. I have a thing for arcade sticks. I collect Neo Geo AES games, too, but only if I can find the carts on the (relative) cheap.

For video and music consumption, I fire up my Lenovo Tab P11; it has a sharp screen and great Dolby Atmos-powered speakers. My Kindle Paperwhite has received much use, too. I have a standalone, Sony Blu-ray player connected to a TCL television when it's time to go full cinephile. I'm also a vinyl guy, so the Bluetooth-enabled Audio-Technica AT-LP60XBT keeps the wax spinning.

My first computer was a Commodore 64. Long live BASIC and retro computers!
