PR: Dark Horse Goes Day and Date Digital

You know why I'm excited about this announcement? Because it's all Dark Horse! That's right, there is no third party app involved. No Comixology, no Graphicly and no Iverse and frankly that's kind of how the digital comic experience should be if there isn't going to be one standardized format that you can take across all platforms. I will say that the picture below is missing a Windows phone logo though, sad face for me huh? On a side note this is our 500th article! Whoo!

Dark Horse’s digital evolution continues after seeing huge success with digital sales. Dark Horse Comics will now make their comics available digitally the same day they are on sale in comic shops.

Beginning December 14, all titles from Dark Horse Comics will be on sale the same day in both print and digital format, allowing new-technology readers to access their favorite comics at the same time as their print-oriented counterparts.

Dark Horse Digital launched its standalone comic-reader app earlier this year and received incredible support from the continuously growing digital-comics fan base, a new type of comics fan eager to adapt to new technologies.

Since then, Dark Horse Digital has grown significantly in numbers and readership with the additions of several key titles to the digital roster, including Star Wars, Buffy, Angel & Faith, and Dollhouse. Dark Horse Digital also provides weekly sales and discounts to its readers, currently offers over eight hundred comics, and continues to increase the digital availability of the Dark Horse back catalog.
