Comixology has just launched a new digital comic subscription service. You can pay $5.99 per month for access to a selection of comics and graphic novels.
There are a multitude of publishers that are taking part in this new initiative, such as Image Comics, Dark Horse Comics, IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, Dynamite Entertainment, Kodansha Comics, Oni Press, Valiant Entertainment, Archie Comics, Fantagraphics Books, Humanoids, Action Lab Entertainment, Aspen Comics, Zenescope Entertainment and more.
Marvel is noticeably absent from taking part in this new program, mainly because they run their own service called Marvel Unlimited. DC is also not participating and they have yet to develop their own solution.
It is important to note that you will not find comics that just hit the shelves included in Comixology Unlimited. It will mainly feature older comics or first editions that will hopefully hook customers on a franchise and get them buying new comics as they come out.
