Vaughans of the world-this could be a good way to get new readers. If you do a lot of creator-owned work, and have a fairly large catalog-the Mike Mignolas and Brian K. Likewise, it's a good deal for certain creators. If you are interested in wide and varied types of comics, but have a limited budget, this gives you a chance to read enough of most of the titles offered to give you a pretty good idea if they are ones you want to read further, and all for the price of less than two comics each month. I think it's a good service for certain consumers. The selection is bad for consumers, the terms are bad for creators. Now, when's DC getting their all-you-can-read service out there? For that reason, I still like that Marvel has their own dedicated service. I'm betting Comixology Unlimited is going to be A LOT like Netflix with all of its labyrinthine licensing issues where things pop in and out of the service too frequently. Knowing that Marvel's content is on a six-month lag makes it very tempting. So this may be a bargain, but what happens when you run out of the comics offered? The gamechanger would be if you knew, like with Marvel Unlimited, that eventually subsequent series content will be added to the service. Maybe they couldn't develop a strong enough reason for the publishers to get fully on-board. And major books like Hellboy, Archie, Buffy, and Saga, only have the first volume available. Most series, even older ones, only have the first 1 to 3 volumes available. It looks like the "delay" you find with Marvel Unlimited is even more pronounced here on Comixology Unlimted. At first glance at their offerings, it appears they mostly just have "teaser" content.
