BETA YOURSELF COMIXOLOGY
Craig Grannell dons his Spandex super-suit and shows us how to get into digital comics – whatever your device, and whether you prefer Marvel, DC or first-rate indie fare
GET STARTED
■ Sign up
Assuming you want to do more than gawp at cover art on the Comixology website (or do anything at all in the mobile apps), get signed up. If you have an Amazon account, use that. If not, get one, and then sign into comixology.co.uk and the mobile app on your devices of choice. On Android, you can get away with just the app; on iOS, you can’t. Anyway, using both app and website is best.
■ Browse and buy
Once you’re signed in, you can buy comics from the website and they’ll then be accessible within the app. Android users can also buy directly in-app; iOS users cannot, although you can browse and make use of the wish list to stash interesting items for later. Keep an eye on the sales tab on the website too – Marvel and DC in particular have semi-regular firesales, where you can pick up collections for a pittance.
