For those of us who are relatively new to Marvel’s superhero multiverse, we’ve been spoiled by the fact Disney and Marvel have created the cinematic universe. We missed the days where comics held the only true continuity. Now we get to try the comics without having to make that financial investment while we have more time available to devote to reading.

But, if you find yourself suddenly hooked to the comics, be aware that Marvel Unlimited has a subscription service that offers–as the name suggests–unlimited access to over 27,000 comics via desktop or mobile app and the newer comics are made available digitally within 6 months after they hit the shelves.
