ComiXology, the revolutionary digital comics platform
available across the iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows 8 and the Web,
is getting into the holiday spirit this year by giving away a new free comic
once a day on the web for the next twelve days during comiXology’s Twelve Days
of Gifting. Click www.comixology.com to see what the debut free comic is today!
And while each day comiXology gives fans a hot new comic
from a surprise publisher, that's not all. During these twelve days you can
also gift these amazing comics to friends, family, co-workers, or anyone on
your gift-giving list, also for free!
“ComiXology has had an amazing year and to celebrate we –
along with 12 amazing publisher partners – are giving back to the fans and
giving them the opportunity to freely share amazing comics,” said co-founder
and CEO David Steinberger. “By delivering the best reading and buying
experience – what we like to call 'buy once, read anywhere' – we’ve hit such
milestones as cresting 100 million downloads of comics and graphic novels!”
“Our vision is for everyone, everywhere to read comics
and with our Twelve Days of Gifting we’re continuing to make good on that
promise,” said co-founder John D. Roberts. “With comiXology being the 11th Top
Grossing iPad app in 2011, it’s been gratifying to see how often we’re the very
top grossing iPad app this year, particularly on Wednesdays. But we couldn’t
have done it without the comiXology fans. These Twelve Days of Gifting are for
you and for anyone that loves comics. Spread the love!”
Most recently in the news during this year’s New York
Comic Con, comiXology passed its 100 millionth comic and graphic novel download
this past October. In addition, during the show comiXology grew their already
expansive library of comics and graphic novels to include the Diary of a Wimpy
Kid series published by Amulet Books, an imprint of ABRAMS, Terry Moore’s
Strangers In Paradise, as well as publishers Ishimori Productions and GT Labs.
Previous to this, during Comic-Con International in San Diego, comiXology
announced the addition of ABRAMS ComicArts, Simpsons Comics and Fantagraphics
Books to their growing roster of offerings.
