And, for the most part, it’s understandable that the reaction was as visceral as it was. Unfortunately for them, that achievement was a double-edged sword, as the thing comic fans agreed on was that ComiXology grievously harmed its own product.

They managed to get every comic fan to agree on something. It’s rare to do something unique like this, a feat many have tried and failed at. Something I never expected, if only because of how divisive the average news item is, even in – or maybe especially in – an entertainment sector like comic books. They did something previously considered impossible as they rolled out the new version of the ComiXology app and associated changes.

Congratulations to ComiXology and Amazon.
