ComiXology is a cloud-based digital platform that lets you read comics from various big and small publishers on your computer or mobile device. The service offers thousands of free and low-cost issues, graphic novels, collections, and more, as well as a bevy of cool reading and membership features. 

Owned by Amazon, you can sign up for a free account or pay a small monthly subscription fee of $5.99 to get access to an even bigger library and special pricing deals via ComiXology Unlimited. 

While there are many reasons to stay a ComiXology member regardless of the tier, the time may come when you want to cancel either account version. Whether you’ve decided to switch to another digital comic reader like DC Universe Infinite, or if you’ve decided to go old school purchase physical copies from your local comic shop, ComiXology makes it easy to cancel your membership.

Once you cancel a paid membership, you’ll have until the billing cycle ends to access the benefits of Unlimited. Once you cancel your free account, you’ll need to sign-up again. 

Here’s how to cancel a free or Unlimited ComiXology account. 

How to cancel ComiXology Unlimited 

1. Sign into ComiXology.com in a web browser.

How to cancel a free ComiXology account  

Unlike the Unlimited membership, there is no "switch" for canceling your free ComiXology account. So if you want to delete it completely, you'll have to reach out to the company directly. After signing in to ComiXology, scroll to the bottom of the home page and click the Contact Us link. 

A new window will appear, allowing you to send a message to the comics platform. Provide your first and last name, the email attached to your ComiXology account, and write a message stating you want to cancel your account. Then click "Send," and an agent will be in touch.
