Marvel Team-Up, Marvel Spotlight, Marvel Premiere, and Scarlet Spider Join Marvel Unlimited in August

Earlier today, we were kinda wondering why Marvel hadn't yet posted on their website about the comics that would be joining Marvel Unlimited in August, as it's something they usually do a few days before the end of the previous month, ahead of a press release containing that same information. So we checked the website and noted a few new additions this week, including Marvel Two-in-One, Spider-Woman, and some Punisher graphic novels added to the service's catalog of classic comics.

Well, just a few hours later, Marvel finally sent out their press release, and it looks like we can look forward to a slew of new classic content hitting Marvel Unlimited in the coming weeks. First up, Marvel Team-Up #2-22, twenty-one issues from the 1970s series featuring team-ups between Spider-Man and the Human Torch, Morbius the Living Vampire, the X-Men, The Vision, The Thing, Thor, Iron Man, The Cat, The Inhumans, Captain America, Namor, Ghost Rider, the original Captain Marvel, Ka-Zar, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Hawkeye, in stories by creators such as Gerry Conway, Gil Kane, Ross Andru, Jim Mooney, Len Wein, Sal Buscema, and more.

Additionally, Marvel is adding Marvel Premiere #4-14, a set of Doctor Strange centered issues from the 1970s anthology try-out series, with stories by Roy Thomas, Archie Goodwin, Barry Windsor Smith, Jim Starlin, and others, with a well-remembered run by Steve Englehart and Frank Brunner starting in issue #9 that led to a bit of religious controversy for Marvel. A similar anthology series from the 70s, Marvel Spotlight, also sees thirteen issues added with Marvel Spotlight #12-24, these issues all featuring Daimon Hellstrom, Son of Satan, who, like Doctor Strange, moved onto his own ongoing series after that (though that one lasted just seven issues). As you can imagine, this one also kicked up a bit of controversy for Marvel back then, due to the whole Satanism thing. In any case, it's good to see these issues hit the binge-reading service ahead of the debut of the Hulu TV show, with work by Gary Friedrich, Herb Trimpe, Steve Gerber, Jim Mooney, Gene Colan, Sal Buscema, Chris Claremont, and more.

Finally, Marvel will also add Amazing Scarlet Spider #1-2, a series whose sole purpose was to tie into the epic(ly long and convoluted) Clone Saga, and which really only fit as part of that larger 1990s narrative, though they do feature work by Tom DeFalco, Mark Bagley, and others.

In addition to those classic books, Marvel may add more without notice throughout the month, and of course there is the regular listing of recent titles added, which you can see below:
