When I first reported the information that former Comixology founder David Steinberger and former Comixology PR head Chip Mosher have been as much as one thing at Thought Bubble, I ran the hearsay they have been beginning up a Comixology Killer. Well, a) it turned out to be the print comics writer Dstlry, and b) Amazon then went and killed the Comixology App off themselves this week.

But additionally this week, Dstlry launched their Comixology Killer, a beta v0.1 digital comics reader at dstlry.co, with the digital debut of The Devil’s Cut, the corporate’s premier launch. So I used to be proper in spite of everything. I adore it when that occurs. “The Dstlry Digital Reader beta v0.1—which we affectionately named White Dog—embodies the raw potential of whiskey’s initial un-aged distillate, a.k.a. White Dog—pure and powerful, hinting at a journey that will lead to a unique experience marked by new notes, delicious innovation, and path-finding mistakes,” mentioned Steinberger and Mosher in a joint assertion. “We hope customers enjoy the beta, and we look forward to improving it and adding a robust mobile and marketplace experience in 2024.”

It’s the form of factor they’d do. “While we’re still crafting the perfect mix of features and innovation, our Founding Creators and friends are already brewing exceptional top-shelf stories that we can’t deny digital readers any longer,” Steinberger and Mosher continued. “We look forward to refining the experience and gathering feedback from digital comic fans in the run-up to the launch of a robust mobile and digital marketplace experience in early 2024. Oh, and of course, there are surprise benefits to ownership.”

They additionally advocate for now that readers use the desktop model because the cell model is just not absolutely secure on this beta v0.1 launch. Dstlry says, “The v0.1 beta of DSTLRY’s digital reader will allow fans to enjoy their comics library in full page view, fit to width, with basic +/- zooming controls on their desktops. While also available via mobile web browsers, the best experience for v0.1 is on desktop.”

The Devil’s Cut can be adopted in its digital launch by the digital launch of Jock‘s Gone #1 on Wednesday, the thirteenth of December, and by Tula Lotay & Becky Cloonan‘s Somna #1 on Wednesday, the twentieth of December, every of which can even solely be out there for digital buy for one week. However, they promise that homeowners of those digital points will acquire entry to numerous bodily and digital advantages all through the month of December. All sounds fairly NFT, does it not? But it isn’t.

Oh, and you can too select a canopy in your digital comedian. I went with the Jamie McKelvie model. David Steinberger goes into extra depth on the beta launch and present & upcoming options within the intro video.
