  "account": "Marvel Comics is retiring its subscription service, Marvel Unlimited, on December 17, 2026, after 19 years in operation. To mark this transition, the company will launch a new app, Marvel Comics Powered by Webtoon, on November 16, 2026. Existing subscribers can enjoy free access to the app until its official shutdown in December. Those who have recently charged for the service will no longer be billed thereafter. Marvel will issue prorated refunds for any remaining subscription value by November 16. Users will have a brief period to transfer their reading history and library to the new Marvel Comics app during the overlap period. Although the specifics of this transfer process remain unclear, Marvel advises subscribers to monitor their email and in-app notifications for further instructions. The Ultimate tier of the new Webtoon app promises quicker access to new issues, with new releases available 30 days after print, a significant improvement over Marvel Unlimited's standard 3-month delay. While the price for the Base subscription remains unchanged at $9.99, the Ultimate tier now offers new content 30 days after print, compared to Unlimited's 3-month delay. Marvel maintains the same $12.49 Ultimate tier price, with a year-long pre-order option available at $59.99, equating to $4.99 per month for the first year.",
