Users can use search filters to find new and related titles, and checkout will be a simple process, with individual titles and bundles at a single set price and one-time payment. Content owners can set their own fixed prices and run direct sales on their digital library, and they will get the same revenue share percentage from subscriptions from their direct sales. Owners can edit and manage all settings for their library, including pricing, assigning discounts on a per-book basis, and toggling specific sales for certain titles.
“Top Cow is a name that is immediately recognizable in the comics world. Whether you’ve followed Witchblade or Cyberforce from the start, have lost yourself in the universe of Infinite Dark, or simply believe in the creative teams led by Matt Hawkins and Marc Silvestri-we’ve all been touched by the power of Top Cow’s storytelling at some point,” said Christopher Carter, CEO and Founder of GlobalComix. “As relative newcomers in the game, GlobalComix is elated to have forged this partnership with such an industry powerhouse.
