That means Red Sonja will be next to Conan now and you can read titles like The Boys or Masks on your mobile device or computer using Dark Horse Digital. The deal comes somewhat unexpected, considering you can already find many of Dynamite’s titles digitally on the major digital comic distributor, Comixology. But as many in the industry know, Comixology takes a pretty hefty percent of sales, and it looks like this deal More >

Often a tactic used by publishers to sell multiple copies of the same comic to a single person or convince retailers to purchase extra copies of a comic in return for a high ratio, rare cover of the comic, Archaia Entertainment is taking the variant concept to a whole new place this week with the release of Cyborg 009: Chapter 000.
Cyborg 009 is a popular manga series by Shotaro Ishinomori that began back in 1964 and has since spawned countless More >
