Issues with reading older comics
I have been using this app for years haven’t really had any issues until today when I wanted to read some of my older comics, so I downloaded them and went to click to read on them in the series tab it open then closes. The only way for me to read it is go to the book tab and scroll down and find it to read it. I know it’s not a real big issue but it is a little inconvenient.
It's complicated..
All right. Let me start by saying I've been a HUGE DC fan since 1973. I didn't even read my first Marvel until the 1980s. Even then DC was always number one in my heart. So as far as the content goes and the readability of the comics, I couldn't love this app more. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being able to see each panel much larger than it is on the printed page – it makes good art especially enjoyable!
But I also have the marvel universe app and for about $70 a year I get thousands and thousands of comics. It's just an unbeatable value.
As far as monetary value, the marvel app just blows DC out of the water! I have downloaded about 2000 DC comics, the vast majority of which cost $.99 each but a significant number were $5.99 or more. In the past three years I've spent about $2100 on DC Comics and $210 on Marvel comics. 10X more on DC. What?
And what I've got to show for it is about 2000 DC comics at my fingertips and about 20,000 marvel comics at my fingertips.
OK, if I accept that injustice as being the price I have to pay for being a DC fan, couldn't they at least mitigate the pain by offering a sale every week? Why doesn't DC Comics offer a sale on digital comics every single week???? It would cost them Jack squat and they would garnish some goodwill in addition to beaucoup bucks!
Just a quick complaint that they only put Vertigo comics on sale maybe twice a year if you're lucky. Again, costs them nothing/beaucoup bucks.

You should read comics. Now, more than ever, comics are the star around which mass media revolves, whether it’s movies, streaming, or network TV. Knowing comics means catching every deep cut Easter egg in Aquaman and having plenty to tell your friends about Spider-Ham after Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. It also means enjoying a type of storytelling you can only find on the page — blockbusters can be great, but comics can take risks.
Plus, in the words of prolific comic writer Kelly Sue Deconnick: “Comics are always going to be cooler because we’re cheaper!”
If you’re reading this, you’ve hopefully decided that you should get into comics. Maybe you just got a nice big color tablet to play with. Maybe you love the medium, but getting to a comic shop isn’t convenient. Maybe you just don’t have room for lots of physical copies (like me), and you aren’t going to ignore that and maintain a huge collection anyway (like me).
If that’s the case, you should be reading comics digitally. And there are more different ways to purchase and read digital comics than ever before, so here’s your guide to the best digital comics service for you.
What’s the best all-around digital comics service?
That’s Comixology.com.
Owned by Amazon, Comixology is the biggest digital retailer of American comics (and some manga and European comics) out there. Over 200 publishers sell their comics through the service, and for many of them Comixology is their only digital storefront.
Comixology’s back catalog is immense, and the site frequently has massive sales. No matter whose books you like, you can probably purchase them and view them at them all in the same app, or in your browser. Thanks to synergy between Amazon and Comixology, you can also cash-in Amazon gift cards on anything in Kindle Comics with Kindle & comiXology badging.
But, the size of the Comixology back catalog can be overwhelming. So, here are some other options that might be a better fit for you.
If you really don’t know where to start...
Get a Comixology Unlimited subscription.
Take it from Polygon’s comics editor: There are a lot of comics! The number one complaint I get from new readers is they have no idea where to start. On top of reading Polygon’s comics coverage for tips on new and interesting series, Comixology’s Unlimited subscription is an easy solution.
The name is a slight misnomer: “Unlimited” makes it sound like this is a monthly subscription service that gives you access to all of Comixology’s catalog — like Marvel Unlimited (more on that later). Instead, Comixology Unlimited offers a rotating selection of comics from the biggest publishers in the American industry. Sometimes it’s a whole run, sometimes it’s the first story arc — but always enough to wet your whistle. Update: And now the service even includes select DC Comics books.
If you want to try more comics before you buy collections or hard copies, this is a subscription that’ll serve up a tasting menu of the hottest titles out there. And when you do buy, Comixology subscribers get a 10 to 15 percent discount on all books from publishers involved in Comixology Unlimited.
If you don’t know where to start, but know you want to start with DC Comics...
Get a DC Universe subscription.
As a long-time fan, I’m hoping DC Universe’s selection will become a little more robust, and I think the app could use some minor but impactful quality of life improvements. However!
There’s no denying that there’s some great stuff on there — and not just comics, but a huge portion of DC television and movie adaptations. Batman: The Animated Series, Richard Donner’s Superman movies, the ’70s Wonder Woman series and more. Not to mention an ever expandingslate ofsurprisingly good streaming originals.
Like Comixology Unlimited, DC Entertainment rotates the comics available on the app, often to coincide with the release of its film adaptations — and it only launched this summer, so there’s time for it to work out the kinks. The service just announced its first expansion of its library, and it’s a big one, so things are definitely moving in the right direction.
Dc Digital Comics Codes
If you just want to read Marvel Comics, and none of this new stuff...
Dc Comics Digital Download Software
Get a Marvel Unlimited subscription.
Marvel Unlimited gives you access to a huge backlog of Marvel’s decades of comics. It’s not everything, but it’s pretty close. The database is also searchable (to reasonable accuracy) by character, creator name, series name and even story arc.
The only thing you definitely won’t find on Marvel Unlimited is new releases. New comics hit the service with an approximately three-month delay. So while the service is great for catching up (prep for Captain Marvel by reading those pivotal books), it’s bad for staying current. But if you don’t need to stay current, you’re golden.
What if I want to read manga?
Check out Crunchyroll or Shonen Jump.
Did you know that a Crunchyroll subscription doesn’t just offer you access to a huge library of anime titles, but also manga? Now you do.
There’s also a new kid on the scene when it comes to Western readers accessing a massive manga back catalog: Shonen Jump. Launched in December of 2018, America’s largest publisher of manga, Viz Media, now has an equally impressive digital storefront. The three most recent chapters of any current series, like Death Note, are available free on Shonen Jump, with new English translations of chapters available simultaneously with their release in Japan.
On top of that, over 10,000 older chapters of current and completed series are available via a pennies-a-day subscription, a rather persuasive bid to combat the scourge of illegal scans and translations.
What if I want to actually own copies of my comics?
Use Comixology.
If you’re a paranoid consumer — and you have every right to be — you may have noticed one big different between reading physical copies and reading digital comics. When you buy a physical comic, you own that object.
But when you buy digital comics you’re really just purchasing the ability to look at it in the app or browser window of the service you’re giving money to. Divorcing yourself from that service — or that service divorcing itself from you or its customers for any reason — means being divorced from your comics.
Dc Comics Digital Service
There’s really only one way around this in the wider digital comics space: Comixology’s DRM-free backup feature. A number of publishers offer their titles for download after being purchased through Comixology, including Image Comics, IDW Publishing, Valiant and Oni Press.
Notably missing from that list are Marvel and DC Comics. But if you want to truly buy copies of your digital comics, this the only option I’ve found.
Now, here’s a list of the best comics of 2018. Get reading!
