Despite what some naysayers will tell you, comic books are not dead. Sure, they've taken a backseat to their big-screen counterparts, but there are still scores of loyal fans eagerly waiting for their copies of Spider-Man and The Avengers to arrive every month.
Marvel knows this, and that's one of the reasons the publisher created the "Marvel Ultimate" subscription service. While there are plenty of fans who need to have a physical copy of whatever comic they're reading, there are just as many who want something quick and convenient — that's where Marvel Ultimate comes in.
Basically, instead of waiting for the mailman, subscribers simply sign in and get to reading — not only that, but they have access to thousands of different issues across Marvel's entire library, not just a limited selection of books. Outside of ComiXology, it's one of the easiest ways to read digital comics today.
That's why Marvel's end-of-the-year deal is so sweet: new subscribers can sign up and receive the first full month for free!
The offer is only valid through Jan. 10, 2016, so make sure to grab it while you can. Again, all you have to do is use the code COMICS16 at checkout — enjoy your comics!
