The Sweet Shop app aims to offer a strong alternative to traditional comic readers with features like vertical scrolling, bidirectional reading, and support for both North American comics and manga. It will also provide options for purchasing comics directly in the app or through DRM-free downloads.

Thanks to the partnership with Image Comics, the app will include iconic titles like Spawn, The Walking Dead, Invincible, and Transformers, plus new digital-only titles such as Exquisite Corpses by James Tynion IV and Michael Walsh, and We’re Taking Everyone Down With Us by Matthew Rosenberg and Stefano Landini.

Lorelei Bunjes, Image Comics’ VP of Digital Strategy, shared the importance of the new channel, saying, ‘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.’

Mark is the kind of person who gets way too excited about new software updates and can’t resist taking apart gadgets—just to see if they can put them back together. With years of experience in tech journalism and a love for all things digital, Mark writes about the stories behind the screens, from game-changing innovations to the everyday tech that keeps life running smoothly. Outside of work, they’re the go-to “tech support” for friends and family, whether it’s fixing a printer that won’t cooperate or explaining why Grandma’s laptop keeps showing pop-ups. When Mark isn’t glued to their screen, they’re probably building their dream PC, rewatching sci-fi movies for the hundredth time, or testing a gadget that promises to “change everything.” Spoiler: they’ll let you know if it actually does.
