Marvel Unlimited is shutting down after roughly 19 years of service, with Marvel announcing that the long-running digital comics subscription app will retire on December 17, 2026, according to IGN.
Marvel Retires Unlimited App and Launches Webtoon Partnership
The transition introduces a strict timeline for current subscribers. IGN reported that new subscriptions for Marvel Unlimited ended immediately upon the announcement, while existing subscribers retain free access to the legacy app until it officially shuts down.
During the overlap window between November 16 and the December shutdown dates, subscribers can migrate their existing libraries and reading progress to the new app. IGN noted that Marvel’s notification email instructed users to watch their inboxes and in-app messages for specific migration instructions.
Pricing Tiers and Subscription Changes for Readers
An Ultimate tier costs $12.49 per month or $99.99 per year, delivering new issues to readers just 30 days after print, as detailed by IGN.
To offset the disruption, Marvel announced it will issue an automated, prorated refund on November 16 for any remaining unused value on active Marvel Unlimited subscriptions. IGN highlighted a promotional Founder Member pre-registration price of $59.99 for the first year of the Ultimate annual plan, available online and at New York Comic Con 2026 before renewing at the standard $99.99 rate.
