prominent character-based entertainment companies, announced it will
exclusively distribute single issue English-language digital comics worldwide
with comiXology, the largest digital comics platform.
This multi-year agreement reinforces Marvel’s commitment
to bringing its unparalleled library of popular characters and acclaimed
stories to fans with a dedicated commitment to technology partner comiXology.
“As the industry leader, Marvel is committed to growing
the comics market through digital innovation—and bolstering our existing
partnership with comiXology continues that,” explained Peter Phillips, SVP
& General Manager, Marvel Digital Media. “This agreement is a huge win for
current and future fans of the Avengers, X-Men, Spider-Man and Marvel’s entire
library of exciting characters.”
Marvel fans will enjoy continued access to single-issue

as its partner,” said David Steinberger, CEO of comiXology. “Our expanded
relationship will foster increased innovation and accelerate plans for more points
of distribution and reading. I’m more than thrilled.”
