The Marvel Comics app will be shutting down on June 2, 2023. Starting May 2, the ability to purchase comics will be removed from the Marvel Comics app ahead of its June shut down date.

  • No Marvel Unlimited subscription purchase will be required to access your previous Marvel Comics app digital comic library.
  • iOS users will need to create and link their Marvel Comics app to a Marvel account to be able to access their Marvel Comics library in Marvel Unlimited.
  • Marvel Comics app users with a linked Marvel account will then be able to access their library of existing purchases and redemptions in the Marvel Unlimited app.
  • Instructions on how to create and link a Marvel account are available here. (Android users will not need to do the linking because they already have a Marvel account).
  • Digital redemption codes from Marvel print comics purchased in comic shops will also be able to be redeemed in Marvel Unlimited via Marvel.com/redeem starting May 2, no subscription required.
