As easy as it is to readMarvel Comics’stories, it’s not as easy to find the ones that are only meant for mature readers. Marvel Unlimited has been a godsend for readers who want easily accessible comic content, but not so much for those who want the publisher’s adult content, and now fans are finding out why.
Marvel Says No Adult Content on Marvel Unlimited For Now
No Parental Controls Makes MAX and Red Band a No-Go
While the lion’s share ofcomics produced by Marvel Comicsare meant for all ages (or, at the very least, 13 and above), the publisher has experimented with ‘adults-only’ branding. First, there was Marvel Max, mature and largely out-of-continuity tales.Marvel Comics later introduced ‘Red Band’ titles, stories that allowed for more graphic content for in-universe and non-canon comics.
Paying Subscribers Deserve Access to a Wider Range of Content
Marvel Should Stop Waiting and Take Steps
Marvel Unlimited boasts having over 30,000 titles, but it’s a disservice to people paying money for the service to block off an entire subset of reading material. Not that Marvel shouldn’t prioritize responsibility, but even DC Universe Unlimited has notification services to aid in monitoring whatever content is seen. It’s time for Marvel Unlimited to hurry up and make changes.
It’s admirable that Marvel Unlimited wants to ensure it’s a place for comic fans of all ages. But establishing parental controls is long overdue, and it would go a long way with readers who are eager to read Marvel’s adult series (some of which are incredibly hard to find). Hopefully, changes toMarvel Unlimitedare coming sooner rather than later.
