You’re Wrong About Digital Comics
Via the-digital-reader.com

The world of comics has changed significantly in the last ten years. Digital innovations have changed the landscape, bringing more fans to the table and pushing the medium to new, greater heights.
Some comics and graphic novels build an audience for their eventual print editions by releasing pages each week online. It’s a great way to get readers invested. I discovered some of my favorite titles this way (like FreakAngels and Nimona, to name a few). Comics and graphic novels are also available through apps like comiXology, which leads the $100 million+ North American comics market.
It turns out there are some major misconceptions about digital comics. Let’s put them to rest with some cold, hard facts. If you’re still not convinced after reading this, take the quiz at the end to see how you can get more out of digital comics.

Today’s apps present comics with guided-view technology. With a tap of your finger, you’ll zoom into a large panel to inspect all the small details or zoom out to enjoy the full expanse of a two-page spread. Multiple panels that capture movement –for example, a sword slicing open a rift in spacetime– progress in place from one to the next with a few more taps.

Comixology alone has over 75,000 comic and graphic novel titles, which is about 100 times more than I’ve read in 20 years of voracious reading. By the time you’re reading this, Comixology has likely passed the 300 million download mark. To put that in perspective, the most popular printed comic book in June 2016 (the most recent figures available on comics research site Comichron) sold 381,737 units to comics shops.

Digital comics aren’t the enemy of brick and mortar shops, they’re part of the sales pipeline. Something like 100 new comics stores opened across the U.S. during 2014-15, and digital comics brought in some of the readers that drove that growth. Digital comics help readers explore the quickly expanding world of excellent work using tools they’re accustomed to.

“It’s just another format for the artform. I think you should read what makes you happy, and in the format you like the best. If people decide they want their books to be printed with edible inks and printed on pita bread? I’ll buy a cooler for my shop so you can buy all the edible comics you want!” He says that a large percentage of Isotope’s customers purchase both analog and digital comics and that some of their newest customers started out using Marvel’s Unlimited app.
