Digital comics
Digital comics are electronic comic books. Because the term “digital comics” is an umbrella term, it is important to note that there are two types of “digital comics.”
-
Digital versions of print titles such as titles from Marvel and DC Darkhorse and Dynamite
-
Free comics printed on the web called “webcomics.”
-
Digital comics can be read on any platform compatible device ( iPhone, android, iPad, tablet, kindle, or laptop) Normally the consumer will subscribe to the hosted provider site and receive their comics that way. Some sites like kindle allow you to download your comic book
-
Digital comics follow the same creative process as physical aside from the final produced product.
-
In 2014 most publishers (not Marvel or DC) moved to DRM ( Digital Rights Management) Free digital comics. This means that you can read comics in any digital comic book reader however, your comic will not sync to all your devices ( you have to do it manually)
