In addition to the release of classics like The Witcher and Hellboy, Stranger Things, based on the hit Netflix series, will be available as a GlobalComix Vertical Original with more on the horizon! The Stranger Things verticals include a standard edition, and a special “Stanger Things - Upside Down” scrolling experience.

We take painstaking care in translating series into the vertical scroll format to ensure that every panel retains its original intention, now in the more mobile-friendly reading format that has captured the next generation of comic readers.

We are also thrilled to welcome Dark Horse to GlobalComix. Dark Horse has an unmatched roster of incredible series, including new stories that expand the world’s most buzzed-about franchises, and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to both bring some of their biggest titles to our platform and to create with them all-new ways to experience their iconic characters and stories through exclusive vertical scroll formats.”
