“For the last two years, comiXology Submit has seen the introduction of a ton of great new titles from prolific and up-and-coming creators and cartoonists,” said comiXology co-founder and Director of Submit John D.

As Submit enters its third year, we are attracting even more amazing talent and books, and I’m excited to share them with even more readers everywhere.”
ComiXology returns to SXSW this weekend sponsoring the GEEK Stage at the Gaming Expo — the same place where comiXology Submit was announced in 2013. Co-founder and Director of Submit John D.

2014 was the first full year of comiXology Submit which saw the introduction of great new indie titles from prolific creators like Gail Simone, Jim Calafiore, Joe Benitez, Spike Trotman, Erika Moen, Douglas Rushkoff, David Gallaher, Steven Ellis, Kathryn & Stuart Immonen, Pat Mills, Franco Aureliani and Art Baltazar.
It also saw the introduction of a diverse list of new comics from creators like Joe Glass (The Pride), Tim Gibson (Moth City), Elliot Blake (The Package), Quinton Miles (Template), Benjamin Rivers (Snow: Complete Edition) and Scott Reed (Saga of a Doomed Universe) to name a few.
It’s been a personal pleasure to be able to work with such an amazing and talented group of people. It’s also been rather humbling to be entrusted with such amazing works, a responsibility I don’t take lightly.
As we continue on into 2015 I look forward to what new titles the Submit program will bring and am excited to be able to share them with you.
If you haven’t had a chance to check out comiXology Submit, now is the perfect time to give it a try!
