To celebrate the Faith miniseries launching on ComiXology Unlimited, I spoke with writer Jody Houser via email to help introduce another wave of fans to this fantastic character. With such an overwhelmingly positive response, Valiant Comics recently gave the hero her own ongoing series. Readers loved the character so much that the first issue went back to print five times. Featuring Faith Herbert as the superhero Zephyr, Faith was a breath of fresh air in a world where female superheroes seem to be created from the same mold. In case you don”t know, Faith launched in January of 2016 and became an overnight sensation. Included in this month”s release is Conan/Red Sonja by Gail Simone, Jim Zub and Dan Panosian, Severed by Scott Snyder, Scott Tuft and Attila Futaki, Princeless an Amelia Bloomer Project honoree by Jeremy Whitley, Rosy Higgins and Ted Brandt, and breakout hit Faith by Jody Houser and artists Francis Portela and Marguerite Sauvage. To that end, HitFix Harpy is pleased to exclusively announce that today ComiXology is expanding their Unlimited library by 25 titles. As more and more people discover (or re-discover) comic books in this golden age of geekery, ComiXology Unlimited can help anyone branch out beyond Batman and the X-Men. But with literally thousands of comics in the back catalogs of the comics industry”s smaller publishers, it may be a good a thing the Big Two™ aren”t obscuring lesser known content with their long shadows. Sadly neither Marvel (who has their own competing Marvel Unlimited subscription service) nor DC Comics have opted in yet. At launch, comics from Image Comics, Dark Horse, IDW Publishing, BOOM! Studios, Dynamite Entertainment, Kodansha Comics, Oni Press, Valiant Entertainment, Archie Comics, Fantagraphics Books, Humanoids, Action Lab Entertainment, Aspen Comics, Magnetic Press, Zenescope Entertainment and more were available. Instead of purchasing individual comics, the monthly subscription service allows comic fans to read popular graphic novels like The Walking Dead and Saga or explore new content they”d never pick up otherwise. Back in June of this year, ComiXology announced they were expanding their digital comic empire with ComiXology Unlimited.
