Fans of Marvel comics now have an easier and faster way to get their hands on their favorite Marvel titles. Amazon has just added a new feature to its online store that allows Kindle owners to purchase single issues of Marvel comics directly from the site. This means that users don't have to go through the ComiXology app which Amazon has acquired in 2014.

ComiXology will still run its apps along with the Marvel Comics app for users of Android, iOS, and Fire devices. It will also continue to power the Marvel Digital Comic Shop.

The best part about the announcement is the fact that fans and readers would be able to download more than 12,000 single issues of Marvel comic book titles that are now available for purchase at the Amazon Kindle store. The same goes with the Amazon Kindle platform where the titles would also become available on a global scale.

"Marvel, comiXology and Amazon are committed to bringing Marvel's amazing stories to current and future Marvel fans across the globe," said CEO David Steinberger of comiXology. "And this historic extension of our relationship with the expansion of Marvel's single issues to Amazon's Kindle platform is an enormous opportunity to reach more fans."

Gross sales from the Marvel Comics app has made it the number 1 book app for iOS in 2015. It holds the same position in the Comics Category at the Google Play app store on the same year. The popularity of the characters from the Marvel titles must have been pushed by their movie versions which had become top-grossers for an extended period of time. Some of these well-received titles include Spider-Gwen, Rocket Raccoon, Daredevil, Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers.

All in all, a staggering record of 15 million combined downloads have been made through the Marvel apps on the iPhone, iPad and Android devices.

Users who have subscribed to Marvel e-comics monthly subscription of $10 can also get their hands on the titles although these would be issues that are over six months old.

David Naggar, VP of Amazon Kindle sees the new feature as a timely decision given the fact that more users are gaining access to a number of devices along with the rising popularity of super heroes in comics and in films alike.

It's "the perfect time to create a whole new generation of comic book readers," said Naggar.
