Start your free trial
Start the Marvel Unlimited free trial on the official site. It’s a Standard 7-day trial on the Unlimited plan, and a credit card is required. After the week ends, the plan continues at $9.99/month unless you cancel.
What’s included in the Marvel Unlimited free trial
This trial opens the door to a large digital library focused entirely on Marvel comics. You get access to 30,000+ issues to browse and read during the 7-day window. The catalog spans classic sagas, modern runs, and fan-favorite characters across the Marvel Universe.
- Library size: 30,000+ issues in a dedicated Marvel comics digital library.
- Reading experience: Online reading plus offline support for up to 12 downloaded comics at once.
- Release timing: New issues typically arrive about three months after their print release.
- Plan: Unlimited — the included plan for the trial period.
- Price after: $9.99/month after the trial ends.
Sample what’s inside with popular selections like Avengers: Endgame Prelude, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, X-Men ’92, Moon Knight, and Black Panther (the Ta-Nehisi Coates run). These examples show how the library blends modern highlights with nostalgia and back-catalog depth.
If you’re curious, the Marvel Unlimited free trial is best for readers who want to explore deep back catalogs and recent comics without buying single issues. Because of the roughly three-month delay on new releases, it’s particularly good for catching up on arcs you missed rather than day-and-date reading.
Who will love it, and how to get the most from the trial
The Marvel Unlimited free trial favors fans who like to binge storylines, revisit eras, or sample characters before committing to full runs. If you gravitate toward ongoing series or want to compare eras of a character, the library makes it easy to hop between time periods and events.
- Backlog explorers: Dig into years of continuity without buying individual issues.
- Character samplers: Try multiple takes on the same hero, from classic to modern.
- Run chasers: Read acclaimed arcs like Black Panther by Ta-Nehisi Coates straight through.
Practical tip for the week: use offline reading to keep your commute covered. You can download up to 12 comics at a time. Rotate downloads as you finish issues, and focus your queue on story arcs you can realistically complete within seven days.
Note: The service is separate from Disney+. Marvel movies and TV shows are not included here; this is strictly a digital comics subscription.

You can manage or cancel any time during the Marvel Unlimited free trial. If you decide not to continue, cancel before the 7-day mark to avoid the $9.99/month charge. Management and cancellation are handled directly with Marvel via the link above.
