As Arkhaven has embraced Webtoons – and if the backers want it, we are even considering our own custom site and app, which would be considerably simpler than SG2, UATV2, or Infogalactic – Marvel is retreating from web-based comics.
Thank you for being a loyal Marvel fan. As a fan of Marvel digital comics, we wanted to let you know that the Marvel Digital Comics Shop at comicstore.marvel.com will be closing on June 2, 2020.
After June 2nd, you will still be able to purchase Marvel digital comics and read your existing Marvel digital comics library via the Marvel Comics app and the comiXology store.
To purchase Marvel digital comics after June 2nd:
Download the Marvel Comics app on the App Store or Google Play Store, and/or Visit comixology.com.
To read your existing Marvel digital comics library after June 2nd:
View your past purchases in “My Books” when you log into your account on the Marvel Comics app, and/or
Sync your current Marvel Digital Comics Shop account with a comiXology account to continue to read your books on a web browser
I can only read digital comics on a web browser, how can I continue to do that?
Marvel won’t support a web reading experience after June 2, 2020.
Translation: Apps or Amazon. Comixology is Amazon’s platform and it is a suboptimal page-based approach. Vertical panels are the future since they display much better on smartphones. All of our comics are now being created and constructed with that in mind, even if they’re not designed specifically as panels for vertical digital display.
