Marvel has stated on their website that it is still possible for customers to use either ComiXology as well as the Marvel Comics app to read the issues that have already been purchased. Customers can also purchase future issues. This is available on both android and IOS.


Unfortunately, they cannot offer a web browser experience for users who wish to read on their desktop however it is possible to sync your marvel app account on the ComiXology website.
