Assembled Extra: comiXology Launches Original Material
This seems like a relatively straight-forward explanation of what's been released, to what platforms and why. I don't have the stomach to see if "content moat" is a real thing, so let me leave that mystery to you.
The thing about digital comics reading habits I think may be worth remembering is that nothing's
really been set in stone and strategies still might come into play that haven't event been considered yet. This idea of possibility is reinforced by the relatively strong settling of various consumption habits that have come to streaming film and video services, and the role that original content has played there. There are a lot of articles out there strongly declaring realities that never came to pass in that space, which makes me think that comics is a bit more wide open than might have been thought even two years ago. I'm also fascinated to see what ends up worth doing in a medium where the very best-selling primary material may hit local newscast numbers.
Whatever happens, this seems like an an important step.
The comic in question sounds pretty good, too.
