ComiXology Originals are precisely what they sound like
Exclusive 'Adventure Time!' and 'A Christmas Carol’ comics will be out next year.
Taking a, ahem, page from Netflix and parent company Amazon, ComiXology is working on its own line of original, exclusive comics, aptly named comiXology Originals. And they don't seem priced too far out of line against offerings from Marvel and DC. When Adventure Time Marshall Lee Spectacular and the four-part Valiant High arrive they'll run $3.99/£2.49 each. Marley's Ghost (a graphic novel take on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol) will set you back $9.99/£6.99, according to The New York Times.
"We want to make sure there is a comic for everyone," co-founder and CEO of the service tells NYT. "If it's super successful and becomes its own thing, hallelujah. But we'll continue to experiment to attract new readers and hit the core [user]."
TechCrunch writes that you can pre-order these right now, with Adventure Time and Valiant High coming out next January and Marley's Ghost next October 15th. Presumably, they'll be available via the all-you-can-read Unlimited subscription.
