Mobile Apps for Digital Comics: TMNT vs Comixology vs IDW

Shinigami · 04-13-2019, 08:22 AM

I remember when the TMNT comic mobile app came out and it had feature that zoomed in on panels as you tapped. I’m guessing it was too expensive to pay someone to do it based on the amount of revenue the app generated. If my memory serves me, there was even a while where it felt like they discouraged you from using it with advertisements for switching to Comixology or IDW, but this may have just been advertising that they no longer were running the app themselves?

Questions:

Does anyone know how much Tom, Rhonda, and Kevin get for digital sales? I can’t imagine it’s much. I know digital streaming of TV and movies barely gives anything to anyone after the initial procurement of rights to show it, but if some of these apps are ran by the actual company that publishes the material, maybe it’s better?

And also, if you answered the poll, please state why you support one over the other.
