The three latest chapters of some of Japan's most popular manga series are free to read, published day-and-date with Japan, but for the absolute pittance of $1.99 per month, you get access to a frankly ridiculous archive of content to wade through. The Shonen Jump app may be the best deal in comics. For that, you'll need to head over to the comiXology store (opens in new tab). Unfortunately, you can't import comics bought elsewhere into your library, and iOS users can't buy comics through the native app. As an app to read comics on, comiXology remains a pioneer with its Guided View – close-up transitions allowing you to read comics one panel at a time, which proves perfect for reading on your phone, while also allowing creators new storytelling possibilities for digital-exclusive titles. Throw in regular sales, a slate of free content, original titles exclusive to the platform, and an optional subscription service called comiXology Unlimited (opens in new tab) offering an even wider array of comics for $5.99 / per month, and you'll be spoiled for choice. With by far the widest library of titles from close to every publisher – including Marvel, DC, Image, and Boom Studios – and the ability to set up a "Pull List" (automatically buying each issue of your favourite titles so you never miss an issue), it's practically a comic store in your pocket. After being acquired by Amazon in 2014, anyone who uses the online retail giant can use the comic book specialist service too. Founded in 2007, comiXology is the granddaddy of digital comics services – and one you probably have an account with even if you don't realise it.
