December 17, 2012 - New York, NY – ComiXology
– the revolutionary digital comics platform available across the iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle
Fire, Windows
8 and the
Web – announced today that the Comics by comiXology iOS app charted as
iTunes’ #3 Top Grossing iPad App of 2012 and is the only app repeated in the
top ten in both 2011 and 2012, showing remarkable power in the fickle world of
apps by moving from #10 to #3.
ComiXology
also revealed today that they have served over 2 billion pages of comics since
the inception of the platform just three short years ago.
“We
started comiXology because we believe that – with a great digital experience –
graphic novels and comic books will be much more widely enjoyed,” said
comiXology co-founder and CEO David Steinberger. “Actually climbing the top ten
year-over-year – and the only app to do that, no less – speaks volumes to the
quality of work both the comiXology team and our amazing publishers and
creators have done this year. We’re not anywhere near done yet but we’re
clearly off to a good start.”
“This
is a spectacular way to end what has been a spectacular year,” said comiXology
co-founder John D. Roberts. “It’s clear that people want to buy where they want
and read what they want, and only comiXology delivers this amount of amazing
content with a consistent shopping and amazing reading experience on every
major platform.”
