The Dark Horse Digital service is being shut down, and as part of that, the Dark Horse Comics iOS app will no longer be supported, according to an announcement. Dark Horse Comics says people should download comics they’ve purchased by March 30th, as it will end support for its iOS app and the standalone Plants vs. Zombies comics app the following day.They say their products will still be available on digital sources other than their own, but this suggests their comics weren't selling well enough even digitally to matter. If any of their products are woke, that can be telling something. Not to mention that, if the prices are expensive even for digital comics, even that's discouraging. So, sorry if their own service didn't work out, but, if they're selling PC products, it can't be surprising when nobody's interested.
You can still visit the Dark Horse Digital website if you make an account before the deadline to read the comics you’ve bought — but only through “at least” summer 2025, the company says in a FAQ. You can also sync your website account with the app to download issues, according to the announcement.
Because if we're going to try and stop the misuse of our favorite comics and their protagonists by the companies that write and publish them, we've got to see what both the printed and online comics news is doing wrong. This blog focuses on both the good and the bad, the newspaper media and the online websites. Unabashedly. Unapologetically. Scanning the media for what's being done right and what's being done wrong.
