It’s fair to say that ComiXology customers were not impressed with the new status quo, with complaints flooding social media to the point where that became a story in itself. What does that landscape look like now that the dust has settled, five months on?Īmazon originally announced its plans to integrate ComiXology into the wider Amazon eco-system in September of last year, only to delay the move a couple of months later in response to what was described at the time as “feedback we received from our community.” The change eventually took effect in February, with the ComiXology app significantly overhauled on multiple operating systems even as the ComiXology website – the main location for buying titles on the platform for iOS users, who had been barred from in-app purchases since early 2014 – was shuttered, redirecting customers to a new landing page for digital comics on. When Amazon merged its digital comics platform ComiXology into the primary web presence earlier this year, what was intended as the solution to one problem – how to bring ComiXology in line with the larger Amazon apparatus – ended up creating another, by destabilizing the digital comics landscape as it previously existed.
