Marvel is making the next month easier with free digital comics
While staying at home and social distancing can be challenging, Marvel is doing their best to help. For the next month, they’ve made a bunch of digital comics FREE.
Since the outbreak if the novel coronavirus, comic books stores (and the industry as a whole) have taken a hit. Some comic book stores are finding ways to get comics to readers with delivery or curbside pickup, however, if your local comic book store isn’t around the corner, or you would rather avoid a trip out, you may be missing out on reading some comics. However, Marvel are about to their fans out.
io9 reports that Marvel has added several comics to their free catalog on their Marvel Unlimited service. It’s a small gesture like this that may help people get through these unprecedented times.
You’ll be able to find arcs from different Marvel comics like Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Black Panther, Ed Brubaker’s Captain America, Mark Millar’s Civil War, Kelly Sue DeConnick’s Captain Marvel, and more under the free comics section of Marvel Unlimited. No subscription is necessary; all one needs to do is download the Marvel Unlimited app from the iOS or Android app store and browse the free section.
