GROUNDBREAKING NEW COMICS READING APP, SWEET, SET TO LAUNCH THIS SUMMER

Reading your favorite comics has never been this Sweet

Image Comics will join Sweet Shop ahead of the app’s upcoming launch set for later this Summer. The publisher and new-to-the-scene digital comics store will work in partnership to bring nearly 400 of Image’s bestselling, creator-owned titles to the shelves of the app in time for its debut.

“Image Comics publishes some of the absolute best comics in the business, with a model that is wonderful to creators,” said Kenny Meyers, owner of Sweet. “We are huge fans of the work they do, and couldn’t be more excited to release their titles for purchase day and date around the globe.”

Fantastic new titles like James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh’s Exquisite Corpses and Matthew Rosenberg and Stefano Landini’s We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us will join the catalog alongside popular ongoing series offerings such as the Transformers, Spawn, Ghost Machine comics, Invincible, and The Walking Dead.

Lorelei Bunjes, VP of Digital Strategy at Image Comics, added: “We’re always looking for great ways to get our comics into readers’ hands, and Sweet Shop is shaping up to be an exciting new option. We’re thrilled to have so many incredible creator-owned titles available at launch.”

Sweet Shop users will be able to read the library of comics on both Apple and Android devices and Manga and North American comics alike will be available on the app. Fans will be able to confidently browse and buy—either in-app or in DRM-free download format—from a variety of Image titles, available globally, with few exceptions.

This exciting new app will support vertical scrolling function—a feature that will delight webcomics readers in particular—and right-to-left and left-to-right reading versatility for relevant titles. Even more features are available for viewing on Sweet Shop’s pre-launch site. Readers can sign up for the mailing list to receive updates on launch, as well as announcements on new features and a growing list of fantastic publishers coming later in 2025.
