Archie Comics not available outside US?
Hi,
I saw that Archie Comics Publishing is present on GlobalComix, but no content is available.
Depending on how I search for them, I can see the following:
* Opening their creator page displays no content (except for their followers)
* Searching for "archie" displays a showcase of 559 comic books and a link to their creator page with a footnote that says they have 38 comics
* When opening one of the listed comic books and then clicking on "Read", an error page is displayed: "Content not available in your country"
Will Archie open up their portfolio worldwide at some point?
Also, I'd appreciate if the presentation was a bit clearer when content is geoblocked. Or maybe search results should be hidden in the first place.
Regards,
oni
Hey oni -
Thanks for touching base - Archie Comics pulled their content shortly after our announcement due to some contractual issues involving their distributor.
What you're seeing is a bug on our side that I've flagged for my team to fix, as Archie's content is not available as of the time of this message (November 15, 2024). It is not geoblocked to any specific country - it is simply not available on platform right now.
I cannot officially say whether or not we will be bringing their content back, but I am hopeful that will be the case in the near future. Please follow their page to be the first to be notified of their return.
Warmly,
Eric
Thanks a lot for the clarification and for looking into the issue!
I'll keep my eyes peeled. Hopefully they can make a comeback.
