As for what characters and titles comic book fans can expect to see in the collection, several iconic stories are now easily accessible through the aforementioned apps. With stories revolving around Spider-Man, the Avengers, Captain Marvel, Black Widow, and Captain America, there is something for nearly every fan of the Marvel Universe.

Notable features this month will include "Avengers Vs. X-Men," "The Amazing Spider-Man" (#794), "Captain Marvel" (#1), and others.

Outside of its comics, Marvel has continued to stay in the news over the past several months for a variety of unexpected reasons. Not only did the co-creator of "The Blair Witch Project" discuss taking the "Marvel approach" in the continuation of the horror series, but former "Friends" star Jennifer Aniston also criticized films within the MCU in an interview with Variety. Additionally, last year, over $3K worth of comic books were stolen from a storage unit and returned to their owner thanks to an unusual tactic.
