GlobalComix: Comic Book Reader Reviews

Trash makes u pay for shizzzz just give us free comics!!!!!!!!!

by Um Meow

I was just reading invincible until it just stopped at like page 400. I have the subscription and I’m confused about why it is buffering so much.

by Jamesebartlett

I was reading the comics I enjoy for free but I wanted to read the most current in a better format and I was willing to pay for that but you only have two issues of transformers and only one of void rivals. I kept thinking it was a mistake when the cobra commander search came up with nothing. I thought you were GlobalComix to read image comics on. I would have never given a dime if I knew you had none of the titles and was not completely up to date. What is this? No wonder the comic industry is dying.

Download, signed up for subscription, and waiting for a refund a few days layer.

These are improvements that need to be made…

Sorting by series and timeline is horrible. There needs to be an option to follow a series, not just a publisher. It needs to be easier to filter what you are looking for.

Adjust the viewer to accommodate iphone notch

Allow users to hide things from the main screen that you are not interested in. It is great that there is selection, but not all the selection is great. If there is a series that I don’t want to see, allow an option to mute or hide. Example, when setting up my account, i wanted robots, zombies and sci-fi. It suggested that and a long list of mature content i am not interested in. Cant mark it no, cant make it go away, AND I CANT SHOW GlobalComix TO MY KIDS BECAUSE OF IT.

If the developer wants to respond, great. Love to have a conversation.

locking popular titles is not good for business. At least be reasonable

You’re app doesn’t load up idk who wrote those reviews but they aren’t telling the truth as of right now

by Diediedie521

About this having 40,000 issues, but it’s a decent app. Should concentrate more on companies like Image and Top Cow tho, instead of stupid web comics

Id like to actually get to read a full comic with giving $10 a month to a random app

First off can I just say that if you are going to make people pay on GlobalComix just have us buy GlobalComix for money with no interruptions for purchases while reading. I thought this would be something where the money comes from ads or like only one book before a timer is set up for your next. Please at least lower the price of the subscriptions or let me read more than 10 pages. I think that these are pretty reasonable complaints that should be fixed.

Great selection. Only downside is that there isn’t a clear path to skip ahead in the omnibus’s.

I’m enjoying GlobalComix a great deal, primarily due to how easy it is to find indie comics and high quality stuff. While I love that the way that pages are layed out is annoying to browse. Instead of a standard format of simple scrolling/swiping to go between pages and then using a button to go to a different issue of the comic you scroll through about half a page to a full page of a comic then press a button to go to the next one. This makes the whole experience somewhat annoying from a user standpoint, and to my knowledge pages are what’s uploaded by the author as opposed to the more standard formats of chapters/whole issues. I can see why the system is the way it is, but I would prefer if button presses transferred between full issues and you just scrolled/swiped between pages inside a given issue.

Great app but the first

by JumpingSquiggly

The discoverability feels a bit chaotic, at least on mobile. I like that it tries to suggest comics based on what you like, but the Home Screen ends up being overloaded with lists of genres, at least on mobile.

The search function could be improved by allowing to search for multiple genres, as well as adding more specific search fields. GlobalComix does a good job of this, but it’s important for a comic aggregator to get this optimized.

Secondly, reading the comics themselves doesn’t feel very smooth. I like to tap-and-drag while viewing the whole comic page, but it pretty cramped and slightly unresponsive. Panel-by-panel is slightly better, but both of these options feel better on the Hoopla app.

With that being said, the variety of comics, monthly sub, app aesthetics and layout, and a majority of GlobalComix functionality are good or above average.

Best subscription comic app since the Shonen Jump/ Viz manga. Easy to use no lag and $9 a month is easy to justify when most of the stuff I’m reading on there is either out of print or $11 for a single trade paperback to begin with.

by ComicsRdope

I really dove into the comic medium towards the end of last year and I can say GlobalComix is one of the few that continues to improve. Their selection of titles is ever growing. Even having some of the most recent stuff on shelves. If you’re just getting into the medium or enjoy exploring new titles, I’d give it a go. I only hope it continues expand its titles and maybe a better system on what you’ve read.

Very enjoyable

by Tete1124

Been reading invincible for the past two weeks and enjoying every moment. And many more interesting comics are here too. Highly recommend.

These people are not lying with the 60,000 titles claim. For only $9.99 I’ve now read over 7000 pages of image comics on my iPad, and binge scrolled through a few dozen webcomics.

Fantastic value for the buck on a platform that seems to have hundreds of new release daily 🥰

by Gravesbill

this app is growing so fast and it already has pretty much all of my favorite comics. I love that they have vertical scroll, manga and comics all in one place. Seems like there’s new stuff every day. 100/100

GlobalComix is very cool. I can read whatever comics I want.

by Erinlinsin

Very excited about GlobalComix being here.

by Reader Man 001

I’ve had a lot of time to try out GlobalComix now on both my iPad and iPhone and it’s been a real delight.

There’s A LOT of comics to read, literally thousands of webcomics in addition to all the major publishers (Image, Boom!, Top Cow, Humanoids, Oni Press, etc) and even some manga.

The in-app purchase subscription works really well and a single purchase unlocked every paywalled comic on the whole platform.

This is by far the best value and experience I’ve had in comics apps yet!

Getting used to the tap feature as opposed to swiping but I find myself jumping to the next panel . Haven’t really explored the apps features or title library just jumped right in to Brzrker.

by Andrew M-

Don’t listen to whiners who just want everything for free. This is a great subscription service for Image, Boom, etc., as well as smaller publishers. It paid for itself in the first week, easily, and I also discovered cool titles I didn’t know about or wouldn’t take a chance on normally.

The iPad app works well. They don’t have everything, but usually when they have something, the full run is available. Lots of fan-favorites, including Saga, Black Science, Monstress, Descender, East of West, Invincible, Do a Power Bomb!, Transformers and more.

My only complaint is I wish adding things to “to read” was easier. Usually I either have to open the book (which adds it to the “continue reading” section), or have to click a bunch of times to add it to the library and then change it from the default status of “reading”. It should also mark things as finished when you finish them.
