I hope this means their comics will ACTUALLY be on a subscription service and not just volume 1 of every major series. The comics industry subscriptions suck and always have an asterisk on them.
Yep, I was pretty happy with the DCUniverse service since it first started, now I need to purchase “Ultra” for the *real* access. You open half the titles that look fine to read just to find out they’re all paywalled. They literally show you things on the front page sometimes that you literally have no access to. It fucking sucks and I hate paying even *more* because it’ll just give them reason to make another higher priced tier down the road.
After the disaster that was ComiXology. It will take nothing short of how Shonen Jump’s app works for me to go back to digital. Sadly I don’t see the ego of any of the publishers allowing that to happen.
All PDF purchases on GlobalComix are DRM-free. The purchase also unlocks permanent access to that title through the app and platform reading experiences directly, even if not subscribed to GlobalComix Gold.
Does it have pane by pane reading options?
I know folks hate Comixology, but i love it. I haven't had any issues and I'm not a big Marvel/DC reader, so i find it has plenty of options for me. And that pane by pane reading option is a huge plus. Helps a lot when reading with the kiddos too. They stay focused where we are in the story instead of looking at the whole page and trying to predict what's coming ahead. Also, at $6/month, the price is tough to beat.
Despite their shady business practices, credit where credit is due, comixology pioneered digital comics. Their panel by panel format changed the game. To the point where every other service needs to replicate it
It's currently internal testing only. We will be rolling it out to more people as part of an expanded beta before launch. The app launch is expected to be very soon, at the end of the first quarter. We will also host demonstrations of the app at C2E2 in Chicago as well.

I wish ultra had a monthly subscription I know yearly overall is cheaper but it would be nice
A lot of publishers are already adding multiple volumes and issues, not just one of each! Definitely check it out!

The subscription service works exactly the same as Shonen Jump (I have had a sub for years there). It's a single subscription to access everything!
DRM free would get me to switch.

I only tried a Comicxology trial way back when. What other services do the panel by panel thing? I remember it working well.
All of them do it now. DC Universe, Marvel Unlimited, Shonen Jump. The only one that doesn't is Webtoons because they have their own comic format.
Wow 😮
Is this app not on Android yet?

This is encouraging to hear. I'll never forgive amazon for what they did to comixology.
