This is super valuable and continues our mission to expand comics readership.” For $6 a month, fans can take their time and read new series, and see what catches their imagination. Steinberger said that the launch of the subscription service was not just about spurring the sales of digital comics, “it’s about how to expand our core readers and help new customers discover new series.” Steinberger said there is “so much amazing new comics content out there, people miss a lot of it. Asked specifically about adding Marvel and DC, as well as manga publisher Viz Media, Steinberger said, “We want to offer a robust selection for our customers, so yes, it would be great to be able to add those publishers.”Īlthough Kindle Unlimited, the Amazon subscription service, includes some comics content, Steinberger said the two services were separate, do not overlap, and there are “no plans” to do so. But he said the service will continue to expand and add more more titles as well as more publishers.
