I am really confused. They said that you will need to pay to read them or you can wait 6 months later for a free on the Universe page. But Ashes first part was released on the universe and on the marvel web store. Was just part one for free ¿ Or ¿ It doesn't make sense for the comic to be 4.99 on the marvel page if you are getting it free on the Universe. [sg-lux-2]
The confusion is the difference between this year (2019) and next year (2020). (and that we use 6months in several different ways)
This year: All comics are released digitally for free on League of Legend's Universe page. They are also simultaneously sold as a premier edition with bonus content - released on Comixology's and Marvel's readers. (The premier edition also takes advantage on Marvel and Comixology panel zoom functions, page structure, collection structure, etc...).
Then 6 months after the digital comics are released marvel will release a physical collection, combining all of the previous issues into one book that will be for sale at local shops, amazon, etc. (Aka a Trade Paperback.)
BUT...
Starting in 2020:
The books are sold as physical, floppy comic-books in stores, on Marvel reader, and on Comixology.
Then 6 months later, only when we are selling the Trade Paperbacks will the comics go up for free on League of Legend's Universe's website.
Make sense now?
It was quite confusing when they introduced the comics.. and i myself have a question as to why I cant preoder the second issue on comiclogy? Thats the message that i got aswell that you need to wait for 6 months to read them for free on universe which wouldve definitely been a better idea for riots business but I guess they decided to release it sooner or they meant you can get the actual book 6 months later..
But remember the free version also doesnt have the additional explaination on certain words and the it doesnt have Art drafts thats why it costs 5 Bucks on marvel, its for the extra material..
The second issue will come out on Jan. 16th so we shall see if that will also appear on universe the same day, probably yes
