Signing up with ComiXology through an Amazon Prime account unlocks free ComiXology Original comic series. Any interested party can make a free ComiXology account on their website or app, gaining instant access to a bevy of issues and graphic novels. As the New Year approaches and you’re considering monthly/yearly subscription options, here are nine accessible ways to read and/or purchase comics on a budget.ĬomiXology should act as the first stop on anyone’s search for free, affordable comics. The supply chain and paper shortages present further difficulties for those considering purchasing and reading physical comics.
Fortunately, convenient, cheap, and free resources exist for people to read comics. But new readers should not feel disheartened from approaching the wonderful universe of sequential art narratives.įor many, financial instability bludgeons the individuals’ ability to buy comics every Wednesday. After one hundred years of the industry, reading every comic book published globally proves vastly unconquerable. Now, people across the gender and sexuality spectrums internationally participate in the steadily inclusive comic ecosystem. We wanted to help smaller series get the spotlight they deserve," explains Steinberger.Comic book readership once comprised almost exclusively young male audiences. "We spent a long time thinking about what comics people should be reading. I, too, was initially disappointed by ComiXology Unlimited, but after spending a couple of days with it, I can see the value in having a service to curate lesser-known comics.
This isn't anything new, as movies and TV shows get pulled from Netflix all the time. Unlimited makes it easy to dive right in and try a new set of series."ĬomiXology plans to add more content to its Unlimited plan over time, though the company has said it'll remove comics every so often at the request of content creators. "I know too many core that don't branch out. "I think people will run into content they love and will continue supporting the people creating it."Īs for seasoned comic readers, Steinberger thinks Unlimited is still a great service for discovery. "I think there's something for everybody," says Steinberger. Collected volumes cost even more, so having the ability to read the first volumes of a ton of comics for the price makes sense for comic newbies. We want to make more artists and get them more readers."įor $6 a month, ComiXology Unlimited is a ridiculous steal as most single issue comics cost between $0.99 and $4.99. There's too much at stake for a truly unlimited subscription. "You have a few guys writing, drawing, and coloring 20 pages per month, and it's expensive. Comics are notorious for being an expensive endeavor, says Steinberger.
