PR: The Digital Revolution Starts Now at Fantom

This came out on August 30th - note the beta testing for ComiXolgy, which may be interesting to try out (although I don't have an ipad or tablet).


Fantom Comics - Where there is a comic book for everyone
Dear Fantom Fandom,
 
It's interesting times for Fantom Comics!
 
Firstly, www.fantomcomics.com and its sister site, www.subcultureforthecultured.com are in the final stages of being entirely redesigned, and will be re-launched in late September. These are just some of the new features:
  • Professional, sleek design
  • Digital comics section
  • Vastly improved online store
  • Timely reviews of new releases
 
Secondly, on the subject of digital comics, Fantom is one of a small number of retailers beta testing comiXolgy's new digital comics store! We're so excited about it that we couldn't wait for the site redesign and we've devoted our entire home page ( www.fantomcomics.com) to the digital comics experience. Not sure if digital comics are for you? Try downloading some of the free comics on offer, then make up your mind.
 
Important: your purchase of digital comics via the dedicated Fantom Comics web link ( https://comics.comixology.com/ret/231/Fantom_Comics_Digital_Store/#) will help support your local comic book store. Fantom Comics receives a percentage of each sale, as long as it's through our digital store URL, so please make sure you see the Fantom Comics logo when you first connect to the digital store (it will flash when the page is loading) and also when you are checking out.
 
Digital comics offer fans a great option for reading their books on their iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Android devices, and right on your computer! They also offers lapsed comic book readers - and folks who have never even read a comic - a convenient way to join the party. Which, you have to admit, is awesome.
 
So no matter who you are, and what your past connection with comics, you owe it to yourself to give digital comics a try. At an initial investment as low as $1.99, how can you go wrong? And if you're a newbie, feel free to send us an email at FantomHQ@fantomcomics.com with some indication of your favorite movies and TV shows, and we'll be sure to respond with some choice comic book recommendations. Or connect to us on Facebook or Twitter, where the comic book conversation is always ongoing.
 
Happy comic book reading!
