Press Release
ComiXology – the revolutionary digital comics platform available across the iPhone, iPad, Android, Kindle Fire, Windows 8 and the Web – announced today that the Comics by comiXology iOS app charted as iTunes’ #3 Top Grossing iPad App of 2012 and is the only app repeated in the top ten in both 2011 and 2012, showing remarkable power in the fickle world of apps by moving from #10 to #3.
ComiXology also revealed today that they have served over 2 billion pages of comics since the inception of the platform just three short years ago.
“We started comiXology because we believe that – with a great digital experience – graphic novels and comic books will be much more widely enjoyed,” said comiXology co-founder and CEO David Steinberger. “Actually climbing the top ten year-over-year – and the only app to do that, no less – speaks volumes to the quality of work both the comiXology team and our amazing publishers and creators have done this year. We’re not anywhere near done yet but we’re clearly off to a good start.”
“This is a spectacular way to end what has been a spectacular year,” said comiXology co-founder John D. Roberts. “It’s clear that people want to buy where they want and read what they want, and only comiXology delivers this amount of amazing content with a consistent shopping and amazing reading experience on every major platform.”
2012 marked a year of records for comiXology, including both the 50 millionth and 100 millionth downloaded comic from comiXology, and many additions to the comiXology store, including many graphic novels and collections, from literary fiction to biographies, science and superheroes. It also marked the addition of Windows 8 to the buy once, read anywhere platform.

Congratulation comiXology on building a terrific service and having a great business model. That being said, I would like to point out that you made this list because of your content sales, not the actual sale of the Ap as others on the list did. Still, tremendous achievement. Thanks for making my comic reading so much easier.
