Hey, just FYI: The version of #26 on Comixology is coming out as a bit low-res and noisy for me. Seems to be whether I use the reader or grab the PDF. Realise I'm in the minority of people who zoom in and think about bits they're going to screengrab, but I'm currently in the DPI kinda headspace from laying out a magazine, so just thought I'd flag.
@comixology has been informed about this, and they’re looking into it. Hopefully it’ll update soon to fix any problems.
Hello! So sorry about this, we are working on updating WicDiv #26 with hi-res files. If you’ve already purchased the issue, when you open the app and tap the book it will prompt you to re-download the updated version once it’s ready. Thank you for your patience, we’ll update this post once we get it sorted out!
Good news! WicDiv #26 is updated!
