GlobalComix: Comic Book Reader

Thank you for the mobile app. Please add the ability not only to read but also to buy numbers in the app itself.

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.

Been reading invincible for the past two weeks and enjoying every moment. And many more interesting comics are here too. Highly recommend.

Great selection. Only downside is that there isn’t a clear path to skip ahead in the omnibus’s.

This app is very cool. I can read whatever comics I want.

Getting used to the tap feature as opposed to swiping but I find myself jumping to the next panel . Haven’t really explored the apps features or title library just jumped right in to Brzrker.

Best subscription comic app since the Shonen Jump/ Viz manga. Easy to use no lag and $9 a month is easy to justify when most of the stuff I’m reading on there is either out of print or $11 for a single trade paperback to begin with.

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.

GlobalComix is growing so fast and it already has pretty much all of my favorite comics. I love that they have vertical scroll, manga and comics all in one place. Seems like there’s new stuff every day. 100/100

These people are not lying with the 60,000 titles claim. For only $9.99 I’ve now read over 7000 pages of image comics on my iPad, and binge scrolled through a few dozen webcomics. Fantastic value for the buck on a platform that seems to have hundreds of new release daily 🥰
