Hello r/comicbooks!

My name is u/furiouskj a longtime contributor to Reddit and stan of r/comicbooks (and one-time employee of said company). For the longest time I've wanted a digital comic store like Steam, and I think we're on our way with Sweet Shop. To celebrate our big launch here's the Comics are Sweet sale BECAUSE Steam-like means big-ol' sales. FYI, we have taken NO outside capital to get to this point and are not venture-backed, so spend more so we don't have to do that (respectfully).

To start us off our incredible publishers have put together a ton of bundles and sales with part of our bundle proceeds going to BINC to support comic stores: https://bincfoundation.org
