For longtime comic book readers, the pandemic changed a lot of our buying habits. Many of us switched to buying our monthly titles digitally and haven’t gone back. Now, fans of DC Comics will have a new way to read their monthly comics digitally, as GlobalComix has announced that some of DC’s iconic storylines will be available on the GlobalComix app and website. Starting on October 15, several of DC’s biggest franchises will be available to read on GlobalComix, anywhere in the world. Here are just a few of the marquee DC Comics titles available at launch:
Batman Volumes 1-7, written by award-winning writer Tom King
Catwoman Volumes 1-6: “Copycats” written and drawn by Eisner Award nominee Joëlle Jones
Doom Patrol Volumes 1-6, featuring writer Grant Morrison’s acclaimed run
The Joker Volumes 1-3, from former Detective Comics writer James Tynion IV
Sweet Tooth Volumes 1-6, written and drawn by award-winning creator Jeff Lemire.
In a statement, here’s what Christopher Carter, CEO of GlobalComix, had to say on the new DC Comics partnership:
DC is responsible for some of the most respected and revered pop culture icons, and we are thrilled to offer hundreds of their iconic stories to our readers across the globe. With 400 books totaling approximately 75,000 pages, DC and DC Vertigo fans will have a wealth of content at their fingertips.
The comics available in this first round are several iconic and influential DC titles from over the years. Grant Morrison’s Doom Patrol run heavily inspired the Max TV series, which lasted four seasons. Meanwhile, Sweet Tooth has become a huge hit on Netflix. Many other comics were the inspirations behind high-profile movies and TV series. Comic book fans will have an opportunity to engage with GlobalComix’s DC Channel at New York Comic Con (Oct 17-20) at booth 3300 on the Show Floor.
