Marvel Unlimited has introduced an exciting new series of Infinity Comics, featuring beloved characters like Spider-Man, the X-Men, and the Avengers. This fresh addition was unveiled during the recent New York Comic Con, with the Astonishing Infinity Comics imprint launching just yesterday. Fans can enjoy the first two issues of the new Spider-Man series at no cost.
Astonishing Spider-Man, creatively penned by Scott Aukerman of Comedy Bang Bang fame and illustrated by Salva Espin, who recently worked on the X-Men '97 comic, offers a unique narrative experience. In a discussion with Marvel, Aukerman highlighted that this series showcases stories that seamlessly fit into Peter Parker's timeline, occurring between his various adventures in the well-known Amazing Spider-Man comic. He also teased readers with tales rich in humor, emotional depth, and local escapades that set it apart from typical superhero narratives.
In addition to Spider-Man, the Astonishing Infinity Comics line will also welcome X-Men and Avengers stories beginning in January 2025. The X-Men saga will be brought to life by writer Steve Orlando and illustrator Francesco Archidiacono, while the Avengers series will feature a collaborative effort from writers Alex Paknadel and Tim Seeley alongside artist Phillip Sevy. Infinity Comics represents a weekly series of webcomics made available through the Marvel Unlimited platform, with many stories also accessible for free on the Marvel website. The comics boast a vertical format optimized for viewing on smartphones and tablets.
Earlier this year, Marvel unveiled its Start Scrolling initiative, allowing fans to dive into selected tales for free and eliminating the requirement for login. Currently, readers can access Astonishing Spider-Man #1 and #2 for free on the Marvel site. Additionally, explore our recommendations for the finest Spider-Man comics throughout history.
