The right volume"Civil War #1" finds the 2006 one. "ASM #532" finds Amazing Spider-Man (1999).

Questions

Is Prowl made by Marvel?

No. Prowl is an independent project for people who already subscribe to Marvel Unlimited. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Marvel Entertainment or The Walt Disney Company.

Do I need Marvel Unlimited?

Yes. Prowl reads comics through your own subscription. It doesn't sell or include any comics.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. Prowl is free.

Why does Windows say it protected my PC?

Prowl is new, so Windows SmartScreen doesn't know it yet. Click More info, then Run anyway. You only do this once; updates install on their own.

Why does my Mac ask before opening it?

Prowl isn't in the Mac App Store yet, so macOS asks you to confirm the first time: System Settings, Privacy & Security, Open Anyway. After that it opens normally and updates itself. The install video above shows every click.

Is my Disney password safe?

You sign in on Disney's own login page. Prowl never sees or stores your password.

Can I share my reading orders?

Yes. Every list gets one link that opens in any browser, so you can drop it in a thread. People with Prowl add it in a tap, remix it or read along with you.
