In the US Amazon is launching a subscription service which will make available thousands of digital comics. Comixology Unlimited will cost $5.99, and actually be very limited, featuring selections, not complete runs, from the catalogues of major independent comicbook publishers such as Dark Horse Comics and Fantagraphics Books. There will be nothing from the two big comics publishers, DC and Marvel, who both have their own digital distribution. Despite these limitations Amazon intend Comixology to be the equivilient of a Netflix for comicbooks.
