If you've been reading this (lol) then it's probably been easy for you to assume I have something of Marvel comics bias, since I've only ever talked about video games and Marvel comics. That's pretty funny, but only if you know one thing:
I'm currently subscribed to exactly three (3) Marvel books and about 15-20 DC books. Every month I give DC all my money and Marvel my pittance. So, why am I always talking about Marvel instead of the House that Batman built?
Two words: Marvel Unlimited.
Marvel Unlimited is a digital comics distribution platform put out by the House of Ideas, and after a week free-trial it'll set you back about $10 a month. What do you get for a measly Hamilton?
Honestly, you get pretty much everything you could fucking want, and it's wonderful.
Marvel Unlimited offers pretty much every single Marvel comic you could ever want, until 6 months ago. Every week there's a selection of recent books added, as well as classics added as collections. I want to say it's like Netflix for comics but really it's more like Spotify - they don't just have everything you like, they have pretty much everything.
Like Spotify, the only thing that's missing is that collection of bootlegs and weird rips you'd spent the better part of the late 2000's acquiring through Pirate Bay and Demonic, but when you're getting 98% of everything you want, it's easy to overlook the 2% you're missing.
Unless I'm talking about shit that's coming out today, it's because of Marvel unlimited, letting me revisit my favorites without bringing all my freaking shortboxes anywhere I go just to rehash a story.
It has the entire Ultimate Universe. All of Bendis' Avengers books. All of the Fantastic Four going back to '61. The entire Infinity event that the upcoming Avengers movie is based on.
It has goddamn everything. I'd be more than willing to make a playlist for anyone who wants to know what's worth a look, and in fact, that sounds like a kickass blog post. So don't mind if I do.
