Marvel fans can unite with the Marvel Unlimited iOS App. Fans will have access to 15,000 comic books via the app. The titles span Marvel's 75-year-old history of creating amazing graphic novels. Users have everything from the classics like Captain America to more recent titles like the new Guardians of the Galaxy.
Marvel is offering the comics to users for a one-time fee at a great rate. Marvel has chosen to do so during March as a promotion for the company's activities during South by Southwest. Kristin Vincent is Marvel's VP of digital products and she stated that the Marvel Unlimited iOS app, "allows people to jump around wherever they want and get access to these classic story lines that have become part of our pop culture and also learn more about the characters they are seeing on the big screen."
