Action Lab Continues Digital Debuts Expansion

Action Lab Entertainment is not one for resting on their laurels. In fact, the publisher debuted two new titles and installments at NYCC just a few weeks ago via ComiXology. And now, the publisher is poised to debut even more titles released exclusively in digital formats.

“We are proud that Action Lab is on the cutting edge of digital comic book technology,” says Action Lab president Kevin Freeman. “These titles all lend themselves perfectly to the digital format, and the Guided View books are nothing short of spectacular. Our readers are going to absolutely love these books.”

Currently on tap for release is Molly Danger, Vamplets, Bo Plushy Gangsta, Itty Bitty Bunnies in Rainbow Pixie Candy Land, Zombie Tramp, Crimson Society and Scum of the Earth. All of these new titles will be in addition to their complete library of titles being offered via all major digital providers, including ComiXology, Comics Plus, Diamond Digital and ActionLabComics.com. And of course in addition to print titles in comic book retail outlets and bookstores via Diamond Distribution.

Danger Zone Publisher Jason Martin adds, “While Action Lab remains firmly committed to print comics, offering material digitally, and in new formats, gives us the opportunity to push the envelope even more with our content and offer even more exciting titles from rising global talent! I can tell you, as a creator also myself, Guided View is exactly the evolution of comics from printed page to digital screens that completely works and takes the medium to the next level, without being gimmicky or insulting to the language of the art form. We’re absolutely ecstatic to utilize these new digital formats to better showcase some of the eye-popping comics coming your way from our line!”

Released in conjunction with ComiXology at NYCC, the publisher debuted two new titles, and new installments, in the digital provider’s revolutionary new guided view technology. Guided view gives readers the ability to experience comic books in a seamless new format on screens and devices in a more immersive cinematic style.  And now, Action Lab follows that up with more new titles debuting exclusively in digital formats, from multiple applications, each week this October!

Here’s the line-up and schedule for our exciting new DIGITAL DEBUTS:
