I'm genuinely surprised that Marvel still puts digital copy codes in their physical comic issues. Especially after Amazon's whole messy Comixology merger thing. That would've been the perfect excuse to stop. But they just moved things to their Marvel Unlimited thing instead, which makes the most immediate sense. And I'm sure they can use that to scrape together more subscribers, or at least active users.
But I guess they still remember how much people complained when they briefly changed how digital codes worked a few years back. When they would give you two or three older preselected issues, instead of a copy of what you actually bought.
I doubt they'll ever try putting them in the paperback and hardcover collected editions again though. Understandable.
I still gotta wonder how long they'll keep it up before eventually bowing out or pulling the plug on whatever service. How long will it be before they pull a Crunchyroll and tell you that you can only subscribe or buy merch? For now though, it's been a surprisingly solid decade of them keeping it up, mostly.
