Viz Media's manga app is now available in the UK, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand after announcing last year that it would expand its offering. This app was previously only available in Canada and the United States. The company also expanded its library on Tuesday by adding Marvel comics to the platform.

ANN reached out to Viz Media, who confirmed the simulpub content as well as all the content available in the North American version of the app is also available in other regions. The service has over 10,000 chapters of both Shogakukan and Shueisha titles.

Viz's manga app is adding Deadpool: Samurai, Wolverine: Snikt!, Spider-Man: Fake Red, Marvel's Secret Reverse, Spider-Man: Octo-Girl and X-Men: The Manga: Remastered.

The two companies collaborated in 2022 to recreate Marvel superheroes in a manga style with contributions from famous artists such as Kazuki Takahashi.

The app launches on May 9 and the subscription fee is $1.99 per month. Viz continues to offer a separate Shonen Jump service.
