It was only a matter of time before comiXology introduced a monthly subscription plan for reading digital comics, and the $5.99 price tag seems like a great entry point for those wanting to explore a large selection of comics.

You will be able to read the comiXology Unlimited on any device, and new users can sign up for a free one-month trial.
While it isn’t a read everything service, it seems like a good start, and is a way for comiXology to compete with the digital library services out there.

I was pretty excited about this because I have wanted to read a lot of these titles. I signed up for the free trial and it seems most of the “unlimited” books are only the volume 1’s, not the full series. So in other words I can pay $6 a month to hook me on a series so I can shell out more money to keep reading them.
