Great subscription option for non-Marvel/DC comics

Don’t listen to whiners who just want everything for free. This is a great subscription service for Image, Boom, etc., as well as smaller publishers. It paid for itself in the first week, easily, and I also discovered cool titles I didn’t know about or wouldn’t take a chance on normally.

The iPad app works well. They don’t have everything, but usually when they have something, the full run is available. Lots of fan-favorites, including Saga, Black Science, Monstress, Descender, East of West, Invincible, Do a Power Bomb!, Transformers and more.

My only complaint is I wish adding things to “to read” was easier. Usually I either have to open the book (which adds it to the “continue reading” section), or have to click a bunch of times to add it to the library and then change it from the default status of “reading”. It should also mark things as finished when you finish them.

Hi Andrew, thank you for the kind words. It's awesome to hear that you're finding both stories you love and those that are new to you. It's important to us that all creators have an opportunity to share their stories, and we're happy to hear that you're enjoying access to those titles.

We'll note down that feedback about "to read" - don't hesitate to email contact@globalcomix.com if you have additional feedback or need help.

The best subscription app for western comics, but

The discoverability feels a bit chaotic, at least on mobile. I like that it tries to suggest comics based on what you like, but the Home Screen ends up being overloaded with lists of genres, at least on mobile.

The search function could be improved by allowing to search for multiple genres, as well as adding more specific search fields. The app does a good job of this, but it’s important for a comic aggregator to get this optimized.

Secondly, reading the comics themselves doesn’t feel very smooth. I like to tap-and-drag while viewing the whole comic page, but it pretty cramped and slightly unresponsive. Panel-by-panel is slightly better, but both of these options feel better on the Hoopla app.

With that being said, the variety of comics, monthly sub, app aesthetics and layout, and a majority of the app functionality are good or above average.

Great app, minor issue

I’m enjoying this app a great deal, primarily due to how easy it is to find indie comics and high quality stuff. While I love that the way that pages are layed out is annoying to browse. Instead of a standard format of simple scrolling/swiping to go between pages and then using a button to go to a different issue of the comic you scroll through about half a page to a full page of a comic then press a button to go to the next one. This makes the whole experience somewhat annoying from a user standpoint, and to my knowledge pages are what’s uploaded by the author as opposed to the more standard formats of chapters/whole issues. I can see why the system is the way it is, but I would prefer if button presses transferred between full issues and you just scrolled/swiped between pages inside a given issue.
