With the Comics by comiXology app, comic book enthusiasts can not only read their comics in a format designed to preserve the comic book experience on an iPhone or iPod touch, but also locate and connect with local retailers to purchase the printed version of the titles. Through relationships with comic book retailers, Comics by comiXology will increase both digital and print sales of comics and deliver a powerful mobile marketing tool for comic book publishers and retailers.

Comics by comiXology offers a “guided view” that keeps the entire page of a comic intact, unlike other solutions where the page is cut into individual pictures the user browses like a photo application. Comics by comiXology is a reader app that contains all a user’s comics and offers its own digital comics store that supports multiple publishers.
Among the twenty publishers that have already signed up to deliver their titles through Comics by comiXology are many well-known industry icons including:

• AdHouse Books
• Arcana Comics
• Asylum Press
• Bluewater Comics
• Com.X
• Creative Impulse Entertainment
• Digital Webbing
• eigoMANGA
• Evil Twin Comics
• First Salvo
• Image Comics (Active Images, Allred, Kirkman, Wagner, Brunswick, Revel and more)
• Markosia
• Moonstone
• Red 5
• Slave Labor Graphics
• Th3rd World Studios
• Zenescope
