Marvel Unlimited

Does anyone have a subscription to this? I imagine MsMarvelDuckie (Victoria) may well have a sub.

Basically, you pay a flat monthly rate or an annual fee and it grants you access to thousands of Marvel comics, sort of like a Netflix of comics. I have had one since late 2012 (at that time I paid £26 for an entire year, thanks to a special Xmas discount), but the browser reading was so poor that I didn't really start using it properly until this summer, when I got my tablet.

I have to say MU is excellent. I have read almost all of the Daredevil runs of Bendis and Brubaker twice, and have so far reread about 75 issues of Ultimate Spiderman vol 1 (I had already read most of that run). I've also read Brubaker's run on Captain America, and see plenty of other stuff to look into in future, such as Wolverine Origins, Deadpool, more of Cap, Ultimate X-Men, Punisher and rereading the Infinity Gauntlet and looking at Civil War in more depth. I'm also going to read Shadowland's tie-ins as I like The Hand (for obvious reasons). There's lots more but those are some that stand out for now. If you're into the newer comics most are added 6 months after they are first published.

The tablet interface is getting better as well. The crashes have become almost non-existent and the touch screen controls are pretty intuitive. A recent update also added a 'recently read' list (essentially allowing you to track your progress on up to twenty titles) as well as quicker streaming - you can now start reading the comic before it loads, whereas in the past you had to wait for it to load completely.

I also have Comicat and Comixology on my tablet as my reading is not confined to Marvel. But I thought I would ask if anyone else here has MU. For $69 per year or $9.99 per month (also with possible discounts) it seems a bargain.
