It’s easy to exist with flaws in a vacuum, but some healthy competition can push you to improve the product in a way that benefits all comic book readers.

We’ve seen some strong steps in this direction in 2016 with Comixology Unlimited, and now for the first time I’ve started exploring Comic Blitz. [Read more…] about Comic Blitz Review! Digital Comics Subscription Service Provides Necessary Competition
