In 2018, Comixology began offering original creator-owned titles on the service via its Comixology Originals imprint. It launched its own subscription service, Comixology Unlimited, in 2016, which offered a selection of multiple publishers’ comics to read.

Post-acquisition, Comixology continued to operate as it had before, through both Amazon and its own website. As far as a single digital storefront for most if not all of the comics on American store shelves, Comixology was just about the only game in town. By the time Amazon purchased it, Comixology was already far and away the leading distributor of digital comics, with frequent flash sales and freebies that made it an attractive option for readers on a budget.įurther, many of Comixology’s competitors, such as Marvel’s digital library Unlimited, are subscription services and/or limited to a single company’s comics.
