Pretty frequently, Humble Bundlewill offer great deals for large bundles of DRM-free editions of comics directly through their website, so keep an eye out for those. Similarly to Kindle, Apple Books, Barnes and Noble, and Google Play Books all provide alternative storefronts from which to buy digital comics - although, as with Kindle, these retailers aren’t the most comics-conscious, and the reading experience may not be as smooth as readers would hope. The website also sells digital comics separately for reading through their mobile app.
izneo is another subscription, though it takes comics from non-US publishers (plus a few US-based) and uploads them for users around the world at $8 per month. VIZ offers a separate subscription service specifically for Shonen Jump Manga, priced at $2 a month for new weekly comics. I’ve personally used each service before and can say that they are well-worth the wait. DC Universe Infinite has a six-month wait between publication and upload of new comics, and Marvel Unlimited releases their comics only three months after release. Marvel and DC have their own apps/desktop experiences with extensive back catalogs, strong filters, and easy-to-use libraries for under $10 a month. There are also a number of publishers who offer subscription services for reading digital comics, though when using those you won’t ‘own’ the books.

I will continue to update as I find more or people let me know about them. The following publishers unfortunately only offer digital copies through Amazon, but I thought it would still be helpful to list, as it never hurts to remind readers of publishers that aren’t Marvel or DC.Īgain, this list is not complete, but I’ve added as many options as I could find. Regardless, VIZ does not offer print copies from their own website. I assume this is due to the Shonen Jump subscription service, though it’s not very clear.

Vault also offers a large number of their first issues digitally for free – browse the site and see what grabs you. There’s no explanation for this on their website, but physical copies of both are available on their storefront. Vault – This is a strange one, as links to digital single issues will send you directly to Amazon, but digital collections are available for purchase directly from the Vault site.Valiant – Digital comics through their app.Scout – Digital editions are available on their website.Rebellion – Digital comics are available through their website.Marvel – Digital comics are available to purchase and read in their app, which is built on the same framework that the original comiXology app was so it’ll look really familiar to you.Image – First issues of almost every series are available for free through their digital reader, but every other digital comic they offer is only available on comiXology.IDW – Digital editions are available on their website.Humanoids – Digital comics are available on their website.Dynamite – Digital comics can be purchased right from them.Dark Horse – Digital comics can be purchased directly from their website.Of note is DC Comics, which currently has no non-comiXology option available for purchasing their titles digitally. Many of these websites share links to comiXology to purchase comics there, but all of those links have, of course, now been broken. Below is a long list of publishers and what their options are for buying digital comics digital. Those who want to continue to build a digital collection can use a number of apps and websites set up by individual publishers to do so. Here are four alternatives to comiXology that are available right now. However, there are a number of other options that comics fans can use to avoid having to visit the new comiXology website. Unfortunately, as The Beat’s Dean Simons mentioned in his post, there is no digital comics experience that is as smooth and high definition as comiXology once was (well, almost none). We’ve looked extensively at those changes and discussed some reactions from comics pros and fans, so now we thought it would be helpful to provide some alternatives for those who wish to avoid the new comiXology website and app completely. Today is the first New Comic Book Day since Amazon’s big changes to comiXology went into effect last week.
