Amazon’s deal puts 12000 Marvel comics in the Kindle store (updated) – Engadget

Amazon has a virtual monopoly on Marvel digital comics, but it’s just opened up another way to get them. Kindle owners can now buy single issues through Amazon’s store without needing the ComiXology app as before. You can still get the Marvel comics through ComiXology, but of course Amazon acquired it last year, so the money goes to Jeff Bezos either way. All told, you’ll be able to Purchase up to 12,000 back issues of titles like Guardians of the Galaxy , Daredevil and The Amazing Spider-Man at The Kindle Store. Moreover, all titles will be available the same day they arrive in regular stores.

The only other place to find the e-comics is via Marvel’s own $ 10 monthly subscription service, but it only stocks issues more than six months old. Given the popularity of Marvel titles and Amazon’s lockdown on distribution, you small Do not be shocked to hear That ComiXology is the top-grossing book app on iOS. On Google Play, meanwhile, it’s Merely the top-grossing comic app. Hopefully Amazon will Remember That with great power, comes … eh, probably not.

Update: The folks at Scribd That Reminded us over 10,000 comics are included in its $ 9 / month plan, Including plenty of titles from Marvel. So, that’s one more place to get them.
