![]() There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s dive in. But what does this all mean for comiXology and their brand new parent company Amazon? Is this the right decision, both for the company and its massive user base, or is this simply one monolith cutting off revenue stream to another? I mean, this is comics, right? Big news is going to be polarizing and I think we all know that. This news, however, came with a fair amount of criticism from users, in addition to support from creators and fans alike.

This is after a long journey for the digital giant, from Mac OS widget to multi-million dollar digital retailer. ![]() The long and short of it all is that comiXology will only be selling comics through their website, effectively cutting off Apple and Google from any sort of revenue they had previously received from in-app purchases through comiXology. If you missed the news, we touched on it right here.
