No, what’s different is that Valiant is making the effort to try and make their digital line appealing and not inherently using ComiXology to do it. Digital, DRM-free PDFS? That’s not ostensibly new, as Image certainly does that, though they offer more options. What’s interesting about this to me, though, is that this is both similar to and different from what we’ve seen in the past. Each issue comes digitally watermarked with our name in the corner Available in PDFs, a large portion (though not all) of Valiant’s library is now available via their website, with first issues for pretty much all of their books available for free now. Valiant will now be offering readers direct day-and-date digital DRM-free releases via a partnership with in addition to what you can get on a platform like ComiXology (which does not offer DRM-free comics in Valiant’s case, though the why is quite obvious right now). Whether it’s publishers figuring out a model of digital comics to appeal to their fanbase or digital comics giants partnering with even bigger digital marketplace giants and then figuring out how to make people happy, watching the digital comics world grow and evolve has been one of the most interesting talking points of the last five years.Īnd now, Valiant - who have had a resurgence in comics in a big way when they came back in 2012 - is staking their claim. The digital landscape of comics is something that everyone seems to be figuring their own way around, to various degrees of success.
