Marvel Comics Reviews

by Mcb650

This is not a review of Marvel in any way. I love Marvel and always have. MarvelComics, however, is hot garbage. For probably a year now at least when I buy comics they frequently will not load. The comic sits there on the screen alternating between a pause button and a download button. Is it working? It is paused? Who knows? All I know is that I just bought something and can’t read it. Go buy a book through Apple Books or Kindle and watch how quickly it’s available to read. FIX YOUR APP. There’s no excuse for it in this day and age and it’s been happening forever.

MarvelComics is the worst app in this existence. I bought a comic and downloaded MarvelComics so I could read it on my tablet and it straight up will not let me read it or open the comic book in MarvelComics . It is trash because I paid for the comic and cannot read it at all when I really need to read it. MarvelComics is garbage and this entire situation is garbage. I do not recommend getting MarvelComics or using the marvel digital comics because it will not let you actually read the comic you purchased. It is incredibly frustrating.

I’ve had MarvelComics for years. My paper collection was building and taking up a lot of space so I thought it would be a good idea to go digital. BAD IDEA! Regrettably, I have well over 800 comics on MarvelComics. MarvelComics crashes and I’ve repeatedly lost access to my library. On multiple occasions my library size has suddenly shrunk to a fraction of what what it truly is which leaves me to jump through a series of hoops to regain access. The new update has you going through a series of interactive security checks to ensure that you aren’t a “robot.” This is ridiculous to have to go through for a member. This isn’t Fort Knox! I am a huge Marvel fan across all spectrums. However, if I had it to do over again I would have stuck with paper comics.

Really enjoy MarvelComics and having my marvel comic collection digitally enables me to read just about anywhere. MarvelComics has lots of nice options for viewing the comics. I really like how it can zoom into the section of the page to enable easy reading. Having the digital store also allows me to read some past/present comics I would not normally buy in a paper copy. I also find it useful for tracking what I have or have not read. It is also great for jumping to another issue to get a quick refresher on a back story.

My collection is easily approaching 500 comics digitally and I am noticing greater lag time to view your collection. Also, there is no redeem feature built into MarvelComics for redeeming your digital copy of your physical comic. Lastly, a few of the older comics are not as crisp or clean digital transfers with some art and text a little fuzzy or difficult to read. Overall, highly recommend for comic fans young and old.

I used to have MarvelComics. The comics I Reese were awesome. Later on I needed some space in my storage for other apps, so I deleted it. A year or two later I reinstalled it. That was when the trouble started. I was looking for some comics to download when I saw the fbcd avengers #1. I clicked purchase and a few minutes later, it shows in my books section with a pause symbol on it. I clicked it and two symbols came. The download symbol and the delete symbol. I clicked the download symbol and the pause symbol appeared again. I did then deleted the comic and downloaded it again, but it would still be the same. There is no line that is rotating the pause symbol that means it is downloading. Can you help me, Marvel Comics developers?

I have had MarvelComics for a while, maybe for about a few years, and there is still always something wrong with MarvelComics . It’s nothing major, just little occurrences that are really annoying. For example, each time I click “see all” for the new comics on sale for the week, MarvelComics always crashes. MarvelComics has crashed a few times just trying to sign into my account. Other than that, it’s not a bad app. On another note, I wish that MarvelComics would allow you to see what new comics are coming out next week, not just the week that you are in.

When MarvelComics is working it is great. The organization is nice and has helped me keep track of my comics very well.

The two main issues I have is there is no way to redeem digital codes through MarvelComics so you have to constantly go back and forth to the website and also that it constantly logs you out. This wouldn’t be a very big problem if it weren’t for the fact that you have to jump through a ton of hoops to get logged back in. Why do I have to solve 5 captchas to sign in?

I’m reading on an iPad with plenty of spare storage space and I’ve set MarvelComics to use as much storage as it needs but for half of the comics I buy it will not let me download them or let me read them at all. I’ve tried closing out of MarvelComics and even waiting a couple days but that didn’t accomplish anything. One time deleting and reinstalling MarvelComics worked for me but even that doesn’t always work. It’s alright other than that but this is a significant problem for me.

Edit: The problem might come from signing into my Marvel account. I would have to do more testing but it seems to work fine before I’m signed in but not work after I sign in. Still weird and I feel like that should be fixed.

Love MarvelComics!
But there are times where you start a series on app but can’t finish as the rest of the comics are not on app
Recently looked up Nightstalkers and was disappointed to see only issue #1 is all you can get out of the series of 18
It’s not only title where you run into this problem
Why just put 1 out of 18

Marvel is by far my favorite comic book company but I cant figure out how to get out of a comic book while I'm in the middle of reading it. If I want to check something else around the site it forces me to finish the comic book first. Then I usually just scroll through it and do what I wanted to do then I have to re open the comic and find my place. I'm probably doing something wrong but how do I get out a comic book and come back to it later ?

I love MarvelComics! Always happy to kill time by reading some of my favorite stories. Lately though MarvelComics has been kinda wonky. When I see some new releases or I’m interested in buying a volume, I’ll purchase the book but it won’t download. I hit retry, retry, retry but still the book will not download. So as I’m writing this review I’m re-installing MarvelComics again to get it to work properly. Hopefully Marvel fixes this issue.

MarvelComics is fantastic, but recently, on my iPhone 8 Plus, running the latest version of iOS 12, I have noticed that I am unable to download or read the books I purchase, please look in to this.

I wish comics you could just read comics you brought instead of having to download the entire comic arch. Also when you buy a arch you can’t just read one issue of the arch you have to read the entire arch and have to buy the issues separately. Other than that I enjoy the marvel comics app.

When i first got MarvelComics it was awesome I was always reading comics! But then when I decided to put in my own it just broke now I can’t read any new ones I get on there and I can’t read the digital version of ones i own. Also it’s not my internet so please just fix that problem and I’ll bring my rating back up to five stars

I just started reading comics a few weeks ago and I made my way to Cataclysm. I digitally collected the series but it wasn’t until about 9 issues in when I realized the comics are not presented in reading order. There’s no current way to change this, I just have to scroll through the whole collection to find the right comic.

MarvelComics makes it easy to take my comics anywhere and read them. Pull up all my old comics and purchase all the new ones without going to the store. It used to crash on me but the updates fixed all the kinks. All in all I love it.

I like getting the digital copies of the comics I buy in print and reading them a second time on MarvelComics . My only recommendation for improvement would be to make a feature to redeem digital copies IN MarvelComics instead of having to go to the website to redeem the digital copies.

This application is one of the main reasons I still read Marvel Comics. The interface is great and I always have something to read while I'm on the go. The ability to redeem codes that you get in other comics that you purchase is invaluable. Are use MarvelComics very often and I highly recommend it for anybody who is a fan of comics.

Loving MarvelComics ! The only suggestion I’d have is creating a comic book playlist. What I envision is a stream of books you create the order for. Especially if people purchased single issues of comics events and want to sequentially read tie-ins and main stories, or if you want read other comics that are help you understand a current comic and you create a playlist for that so it enhances the reader experience by allowing people to readily and rapidly read stories as intended or with enough background information.

I don't live close enough to any comic book shops, but I love Marvel. MarvelComics & Marvel Unlimited are how I get all of my comics. I don't know how Marvel counts digital sales. I want my favorite characters & story lines to do well. This is the easiest way for me to support my comics. I buy story lines I care about & rent every thing else (via Marvel Unlimited). While I'm here someone tell Marvel they need to bring Emma Frost back as a main character.

Been reading comics for years. Always had a great joy going to a comic book shop to pick up the latest comics that came out each week. But, as I’ve gotten older, married, and running a business, I haven’t had the time to collect and pick up comics the way I use to. This Marvel Comics app is the best thing that has happened for me. I was skeptical about it at first thinking it would not be the same experience. But in no time, i fell in love with MarvelComics. As someone who not only reads for the great stories, with MarvelComics you can zoom in closely on detailed artwork that you may not alway be able to see when reading physical comics. And best of all for me personally, the easy access to all my comics on my iPhone or iPad. Whether I’m at work and need a quick break or traveling. It’s simple and easy to access my comics.
