'We’ll probably add publishers,' Steinberger said. Announced participants include Image, Dark Horse, IDW, BOOM!, Dynamite, Kodansha, Oni, Valiant, Archie, Fantagraphics, Humanoids, Action Lab, Aspen, and Zenescope. There’s so much content on there you have a starting point for a tremendous amount of series… Do we think people are going to start buying because they’re going to find at least one series that they’re going to want more? I believe they will, because I believe in comics.'Īlthough absent the Big Two, the publisher roster includes the next five publishers in size, two manga publishers, and other important companies. So if you’re not committed to the whole thing you can go on sampling for eternity. ' Vikings Season 1 and 2 is on there, and Season 3 is for purchase. 'It’s just like you look at Prime,' comiXology CEO David Steinberger told ICv2. Similar to the way video releases cycle through streaming services, releases on comiXology Unlimited may be windowed, depending on the publisher and title, so that subscribers can be exposed to new series but will then be incented to buy some DTO content from that series as well. The service will be targeted both at core comic customers, for whom comiXology Unlimited will allow unlimited trial of new books, and neophytes, who will have the opportunity to be exposed to lots of popular content, including media tie-ins, with the hope that they’ll become regular comics purchasers. Like Amazon Prime, the subscription-based service of comiXology’s parent company, comiXology Unlimited will exist alongside comiXology’s longstanding DTO (download-to-own) service. ComiXology has launched a subscription-based comics service, providing a robust all-you-can-read option for a $5.99 monthly subscription fee.
