The 10 Best Ways to Read Comics Online for Free

Comic books aren't cheap! You can save a lot of money by using these sites to read comics online for free.

Where can you go to read comic books online for free, and legally? There are numerous options available to you.

Marvel and DC have gained a lot of new fans with their increased cinematic presence, meaning a boost to the comic book industry. Unfortunately, visiting your local comic book store can prove expensive. Single issues typically cost $3.99. Milestone issues and variants cost even more. And some people don't even live near a comic shop.

Thankfully, you can save some money by using these sites to read comics online for free and completely legally. No matter what kind of comics you're into, you should find them on the best sites for free comics.

1. Marvel Unlimited

Where do you go to read Marvel Comics online for free? Marvel Unlimited is the obvious answer, but most know it solely as a paid-for service. With a monthly or annual subscription, you get access to over 30,000 comics. Its corresponding mobile app is one of the best Marvel apps for comic book fans .

However, Unlimited offers a series of tasters, also giving you the chance to try out its smart panel interface. There's a good mix of big-name characters and lesser-known heroes, so you can explore plenty that the Marvel Universe has to offer.

Of course, you'll see a lot of debut series, but keep checking because it further features entire miniseries for you to enjoy, including comics related to current and previous shows and films, like Marvel's Hero Project on Disney+ and digital-exclusive "Infinity Comics" related to the Loki TV series. If you enjoy the app, you can join Marvel Unlimited with monthly or annual subscriptions. This includes downloads for offline reading, creator and character spotlights, and plenty more fantastic Marvel Unlimited features .

2. DC Universe Infinite

Where can you go to read DC Comics online? DC Kids used to be a good option, and while it still features animations (for which the company is greatly celebrated, giving youngsters a good entry-point into comics), its comic selection has dwindled to nothing. Instead, then, there's DC Universe Infinity, the major publisher's alternative to Marvel Unlimited.

But this is region-locked, so isn't available to everyone. At the time of writing, readers in the UK, for instance, are exempt, as the main app that supports the free issues isn't ready yet.

If you're in America, Canada, or other select locations, however, you can enjoy a small but fair sample of freebies, notably issues released as part of Free Comic Book Day, an annual event in May that purports to help draw fans into independent comic book stores.

You'll find the big names here, i.e. Superman, Batman, and the Suicide Squad, so it's a decent way of introducing yourself or others to the worlds of DC.

If you want to read comics online, Libby is an ideal choice. It's brought to you by your local library service, you get a whole host of free stuff to borrow for 21 days. Plus, if you're not sure you'd like a particular title, you can read a sample before borrowing properly.

There are sections for kids and teenagers, or you can just browse a wide archive of graphic novels, magazines, and even audiobooks.

You need a library card, but because this app is sponsored by local libraries all across the world, you can actually request a card from your nearest library. You can borrow up to 10 titles at one time and download them for free too, so if you're going on vacation and can't guarantee internet access, this is a top choice.

4. Dark Horse's Free Books

Dark Horse is a great heavy-hitter with the license for numerous much-loved franchises. The company's Free Books page is a reflection of that, which also acts as a great way of getting newcomers into comics.

Let's say you have a friend who loves Stranger Things. Get them hooked by introducing them to the free comics! Maybe you love playing Overwatch. Why not take some time away from the PlayStation by sampling Dark Horse's miniseries expanding on that world?

Other popular brands you'll find here include Minecraft, The Umbrella Academy, Hellboy, Avatar, and Mass Effect.

5. DriveThru Comics

You won't find the big two here: Marvel and DC are absent from the list of publishers on DriveThru. However, there's a large collection of books with a variety of comics that span genres and styles. And you will find Marvel and DC's bigger competitors, like Valiant Comics, Top Cow, and Aspen Comics.

Most first issues are free, and if you like the series, you can buy subsequent issues from the store. Many of those that aren't free are available on a pay-what-you-want basis.

DriveThru's filters can be used to browse genres, formats, publishers, and prices. Use them to narrow down the selection of comics and start exploring. It's hard to know what you'll find here, but DriveThru is always a good place to read free comics online.

6. Amazon Best Sellers

You might not think of Amazon as a good place to find free comic books. But there's a surprising amount of free content available if you know where to look.

Start on the Comics and Graphic Novels Best Sellers list, then click Top 100 Free to see the most popular free titles available for download. That's DC, Marvel, Dark Horse, Image, and lots more.

You can also filter the list by genre on the left of the screen, helping you find the comics you're interested in. The list is updated hourly, so check back regularly for new titles. In a way, it's essentially an aggregate of free content, so if you're not sure where to start off, this is the best place to explore.

7. Digital Comic Museum

If you'd like to see the genesis of the comic book medium, check out the Digital Comic Museum. You can spend days reading free comic books from the Golden Age (i.e. 1930s to 1950s).

The titles and characters may not be familiar—though Captain Marvel, now widely known as Shazam, does show up—but you can see how the Golden Age books had a strong influence on today's works.

You won't find modern comic books here. Nonetheless, it's fun to browse through the classic titles from 70+ years ago and see how the artwork and storytelling have changed. Today's publishers stand on the shoulders of giants.

8. Comic Book Plus

Established in 2006, Comic Book Plus takes a similar stance to the Digital Comic Museum, showcasing Golden and Silver Age comics in the public domain.

Except this site goes above and beyond the call of duty. It's an archive celebrating the whole genre, meaning it includes a number of features you won't find elsewhere. There are sections devoted to fanzines, pulp fiction, non-English comics, newspapers and magazines, adverts, booklets, public information posters, and even coloring books.

Comic Book Plus is a great resource for comic book fans, graphic designers, and historians. Once you start exploring, it's incredibly difficult to stop.

9. GoComics

Not all comics feature superheroes. Comics are a part of everyday life—that's evident from the number of humor strips you can find in newspapers. Comics are enjoying a resurgence, and you can take full advantage of this if you know the best comic book websites to visit . And GoComics is your top resource for syndicated strips.

There are two subscription options: free and paid. Fortunately, the former is all you really need (although we encourage readers to support the service). GoComics offers a massive catalog including lesser-known cartoons and popular names like Peanuts, Dilbert, and Calvin and Hobbes.

Plus there are two categories for our favorite Monday-hating cat: Garfield and Garfield Classics!

10. ElfQuest

Elfquest is an award-winning independent comic that has been running since the late 1970s. Every issue released before 2014 is available for free on its website.

If you like sprawling fantasy worlds, this is for you. There are several series available that detail the adventures of different characters and story arcs.

The series has now concluded with the Final Quest story arc, available from Dark Horse. The publisher has also released the complete ElfQuest series in collected editions. But you can get a good head-start on the series by reading the rest of the comics online for free.

Start Reading Comics Online for Free Now

These sites let you read comics online for free and, most importantly, legally.

You can revisit your favorites, explore the works of different publishers and creative teams, and get a glimpse into the past to see what the Golden Age of comics was like. All free of charge.

How Much is the Search Traffic for the Top 8 Comic News Sites Worth?

comic news sites header graphic

Image credit: Sam Howzit

$670,000. That’s the estimated value of all the desktop and mobile traffic that visited Comicbook.com in September. Simply put – you’d have to spend just shy of 700 grand (over a 30-day period) to generate the online exposure that ComicBook.com receives organically. Sweet Christmas!

Over the past two decades, comic news sites have transformed from hobby sites to full blown media properties that are now part of lucrative digital portfolios.

Some of the top sites are newer properties owned by media networks while others have been slogging it out since the early 2000’s harkening back to an era before comic book movies swallowed the universe.

best comic book news websites

Three events in 2016 caused me to want to look under the hood of 8 of the largest sites.

First: the sale of the web’s largest (and one of the oldest) comic news sites, Comic Book Resources (now CBR.com) to ValNet Inc – an online media publisher.

Valnet Brands

Second: June 2016 was the biggest sales month for comics in 20 years.

And third: Most of this year’s major comic book films have opened – except Marvel’s Doctor Strange – and we’re apparently hurtling towards “ peak superhero ” at the movie theaters.

peak superhero movies infographic

So what did I find? Several things…

The comic news sites at the top of the food chain are doing big numbers both regarding traffic and $$$.

  • There is 10x more monetary value in ranking for comic movie terms than there are for the books in which they are based. Makes sense as the box office receipts for an individual film (like say Captain America: Civil War) is larger than the annual revenue of the entire comic book industry – for North America at least.
  • A lot of the sites have hundreds of thousands of pages indexed due to the massive amounts user generated content in the forums. Forums have been a mainstay of comic book fandom since the advent of the internet.
  • A few of the sites are bringing in equal or greater amounts of search traffic on mobile via just 8-10% of the keyword searches through desktop.

But first a quick explanation of some of the metrics used for this analysis…

Domain Authority is a score (on a 100-point scale) developed by Moz that predicts how well a website will rank on search engines. [ source ] The next six metrics were all gathered from using SEMrush  – a digital tool that is specific to finding profitable keywords via analytics. SEMrush Rank : a complete listing of the top 100,000 domains in SEMrush’s database, ranked in order of their keywords and estimated traffic coming. Keywords : The number of keywords bringing users to the website via Google’s top 100 organic search results. Traffic : The number of users expected to visit the website in the following month on condition that average monthly organic traffic stays relatively the same. Traffic Cost : Estimated price of organic keywords in Google AdWords. Total Backlinks : The number of links pointing to the queried website. Referring Domains : The number of domains pointing to the queried URL. First Page Rankings : A random sampling of keywords that the specified site ranks for organically on the first page of Google. On average, 71.33% of searches result in a page one organic click.

All research was done on Tuesday, September 27th. So keep in mind that the data (traffic / rankings) fluctuates minute to minute online. View this as a snapshot.

Share All sharing options for: Not sure what comics to read? Leave a comment, we’ll help

The Polygon logo against a green background, with comics and a pencil around it

One of the best parts of my job at Polygon is recommending cool comics to read . Whether it’s indie sci-fi , superhero drama , manga , or just the best of the year , we’re always trying to introduce readers to new and exciting picks. Lists are a great way to share a variety of comics in a short amount of time. But sometimes it’s fun to do something more personally curated.

That’s why we have this semi-regular open thread dedicated to helping you, our dear readers, find the perfect comic to read right now. Looking for the current best superhero ongoing to get hooked on? We’ve got you. Want a new manga to deep dive on? We’ve got you there, too. Want the most anticipated indie doorstop graphic novel of the summer? Do you even have to ask?

From 3:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. EDT, I will be in the comments section down below answering your questions and fielding requests for what you should read. We previously programmed this as a weekly movie column but will be moving that version to a monthly schedule with more, non-movie recommendation threads coming your way week over week, from games to TV to today’s subject, comics!

I should add that this is also a great place to share what you’ve been reading , if you want to talk about that with your fellow Polygon readers! Participation is very welcome, even without questions.

A little bit about me, your curator for this go-round: I’m Susana Polo, Polygon’s entertainment editor — but I used to be known as our comics editor, and comics will always be the media love of my life. While I’m a truly voracious devourer of all things sequential art, superheroes are my soul and center. If you’ve always wanted to know where to start with a character, a team, or even a whole continuity, I can definitely steer you in the right direction. And probably make you fall in love with Elongated Man in the process.

Lately, on top of keeping up with my favorite cape comics every week, I hotly anticipate new issues of the monster hunter horror book Something is Killing the Children , the adventure fantasy epic Kaya , and the space marine opera The Forged . And I’ve undertaken the long project of broadening my manga horizons by reading along with the Mangasplaining podcast , which has me picking up some incredible works, like A Journal of My Father , Phoenix , and A Bride’s Story .

Now it’s time to turn it around to you. What would you like to read this weekend (or what are you planning to read)? Leave a request in the comments and I’ll get to it between 2:30 p.m. and 4:30 p.m. EDT (your lovely comics expert has a hard out, so we’ll be shifting the usual window earlier this week). Details help — let me know what you’re looking for, some idea of your taste as a comics reader, and any other relevant info you feel like sharing (like the subscription services you have access to, whether you want something finished or ongoing, or what it was about the last comic you read you’re looking to emulate, if anything).

Here are two examples of good queries from last week’s games edit ion :

See you in the comments at 3:30 p.m. EDT! Fire away your requests in the meantime.

THE SANDMAN: New BTS Photo Gives Us A Better Look At Esmé Creed-Miles As Delirium

THE SANDMAN: New BTS Photo Gives Us A Better Look At Esmé Creed-Miles As Delirium

Following yesterday's official teaser, a new behind-the-scenes photo from the set of The Sandman gives us a better look at Esmé Creed-Miles as the youngest of The Endless, Delirium...

Netflix finally unveiled an official teaser for the second season of The Sandman yesterday, and it featured a first glimpse of Esmé Creed-Miles as Delirium, Adrian Lester as Destiny, and Barry Sloane as The Prodigal.

Though we did get to see Delirium's face, her full visage was somewhat obscured, and this new behind-the-scenes photo gives us a better look at the Hanna star in-costume as the youngers of The Endless.

In Neil Gaiman's comics, Delirium is the current manifestation of the being that started out as Delight. The character is a little... mixed up, but is loyal to her family and proves to be an invaluable ally to Dream during the events of "Brief Lives."

Check out the photo below along with yesterday's teaser.

We still don't have a return date for The Sandman, but  WhatsOnNetflix  did recently reveal the titles of the first six (of what is believed to be 12 in total) episodes.

The Song of Orpheus

More Devils Than Vast Hell Can Hold

Brief Lives

Family Blood

The Ruler of Hell

Season of Mists

If you've read the comic, these titles will make a lot more sense, but if this is indeed just the first of two volumes, it seems clear that season 2 will fully adapt both the "Brief Lives" and "Season of Mists" arcs, before possibly even moving on to "The Kindly Ones."

Gaiman shared the following message to fans when the series officially resumed filming.

"We never know where our dreams will take us. Thirty-five years ago today, the first issue of The Sandman was released and set many people and characters on paths that seemed, even at the time, so unlikely as to be impossible. Back then most comics featured superheroes. Sandman wasn’t that. It wasn’t like anything else, but magically (the magic consisting of hard work, youthful overconfidence, and some key people who believed in the vision) we were given the opportunity to tell the story I had in my head and bring Morpheus and the rest of the Endless to life.

A little over 36 years ago, in October 1987, the worst storm in at least 500 years left my house without power and my family trapped in our little village by fallen trees, and I spent my time writing an outline for the first eight issues of Sandman.

Thirteen months later, in November 1988, the first issue of Sandman hit the comics shops. Like those who walk a path in Destiny’s garden, I look back and see one clear path stretching behind me. At times on this journey the way forward seemed impossible, and I don’t think I could have conceived of the impact that these characters would have on individuals or on the world. When I look at the path ahead, though, I don’t see darkness. I see how the world of The Sandman continues to grow and evolve and take new forms.

This week we officially restart production on the next sequence of stories of The Sandman for Netflix. Genius showrunner Allan Heinberg and the countless people in front of and behind the camera are building something endlessly special, and bringing these stories to life in a way that would once have been unimaginable.

A journey is beginning that will take us from Destiny’s garden to Hell, from the Heart of the Dreaming to Ancient Greece and revolutionary France, and from there to places even I cannot quite imagine on the screen. I will be patient. Good things are coming."

35 years ago today, the first issue of The Sandman comic was released. This week, The Sandman officially restarts production. In the words of @neilhimself , "Good things are coming." pic.twitter.com/oLCU7UpFuL — The Sandman (@Netflix_Sandman) November 29, 2023

Have you watched The Sandman yet? You can check out our review here.

"There is another world that waits for all of us when we close our eyes and sleep — a place called the Dreaming, where The Sandman, Master of Dreams (Tom Sturridge), gives shape to all of our deepest fears and fantasies. But when Dream is unexpectedly captured and held prisoner for a century, his absence sets off a series of events that will change both the dreaming and waking worlds forever. To restore order, Dream must journey across different worlds and timelines to mend the mistakes he’s made during his vast existence, revisiting old friends and foes, and meeting new entities — both cosmic and human — along the way."

The Sandman stars Tom Sturridge as Dream, Kirby Howell Baptiste as Death, Boyd Holbrook as The Corinthian, Donna Preston as Despair, Stephen Fry as Gilbert, Mason Alexander Park as Desire, Charles Dance as black magician Roderick Burgess, and Sanjeeve Bhaskar as Cain. Joely Richardson plays Ethel Cripps, while David Thewlis takes on the role of her son John Dee, aka the deranged Dr. Destiny.

How-To Geek

Digital comic subscriptions are better than paper, here's why.

Don't even think about ink.

Key Takeaways

  • Subscription services make more sense for readers than collectors due to accessibility and convenience.
  • All comics become accessible through subscription services, preserving the medium's history.
  • The high-quality scans of classic comics on modern screens enhance the artistry and viewing experience.

Comic books are awesome, but with the rise of Netflix-style comic (and manga) subscription services, things are better than ever for those of us who like to have lots of pictures in our books. In fact, I think it's making physical paper comics the worse choice for most people, and here's why.

I Want to Read, Not Collect

There are two major branches of the comic book hobby—reading and collecting. Almost everyone reads, but not everyone collects. Even for those who collect, it's usually just certain specific books in a series they think might be worth something one day, or certain series they want to own for any reason at all.

In my case, I just want to read the stories. If that sounds like you, then subscription services like Marvel Unlimited or DC Universe Infinite are the perfect choice. You can start at a sensible spot in a series, even the very first issue of a comic that would sell for a fortune on paper, and then just read them in order. To me, this is much more useful than having a dozen long-boxes in the basement for stories that I'll almost certainly only ever read once. Since I have no interest in "investing" in comic books, subscriptions just make that much more sense.

All Comics Are Accessible

These services give you access to a back catalog of comics that are simply unobtainable in physical form. They are either too expensive, were never sold in your country or region, or there just aren't any copies left. Using subscription services, you get access to the pristine archival copies kept by the people who made the comics. Of course, no collection is perfect, so some issues will likely be missing, or not included for legal reasons, but by and large, subscribing to a comic book service puts that outlet's entire history at your fingertips. Preserving those books for current and future generations, and solving the issue of dropping into comics decades after it all started.

Classic Comic Scans Look Incredible

This is going to vary from book to book, and from company to company, but at least for Marvel Unlimited, I have found the quality of even their oldest books to be astounding. Modern screens are great, and reading comics on my iPad's mini-LED screen is a mind-blowing experience. Even if you found paper copies of these books, they'd most likely be in terrible condition, and they were printed to be intentionally disposable to begin with. I'd go as far as saying that these scans of pre-digital comics are the definitive way to experience them.

You Can Appreciate the Art More Than Ever

A great modern screen, high-quality scans, and the ability to pinch and zoom mean I can appreciate the art of comic books more than ever. Whether it's classic comics from the Silver Age or the latest digital art issues, you can really see the details and artistry. Not everyone will agree, of course, but I've always found comic books to look rather dull on the page, and having a digital copy on a modern screen is the superior experience for me.

Next-Gen ePaper Might Be Even Better

While I prefer to read my digital Western comics on a regular screen, I like to read manga on my eReade r, since they are mostly black and white anyway. Color ePaper is becoming more affordable and better at its job, so perhaps at some point in the future, large color eReaders may offer the best of both worlds. They still look rather washed out compared to a screen in my opinion, but perhaps some future version of the technology will give us the vibrancy and detail of cutting-edge LCDs or OLEDs, with the positive attributes of paper.
