I'm a big purveyor of Digital Comics, I live in SEA and while physical markets do exists, they can't really beat the ease and convenience of just having a digital library (Also the nearest one is like 2 hours away.... 30 minutes without traffic I guess.). In fact, confession... I actually kind of like Guided View for some goddamned reason.

I've had my fair share of alternative apps and services not limited to Comixology that I've tried over the years. Please do realize a lot of these are not even half as big as Comixology was and have a much more limited scope of what they can offer. If you are interested in seeing a creator or publisher try out one of these platforms, it might be better to *politely* nudge them in this direction.

If you are familiar with other platforms that do already offer Western Publishers (I mean I guess *Webtoons* sorta, but I am not aware of any publisher outside of DC really putting out anything for it)

I mainly focused on DRM-Free Options because as everyone here who've used Comixology has seen, non-DRM Free Options are just that much more vulnerable to what is once a usable service just deciding to become 20% less better than it used to be because god what even fucking knows with the people in charge.

Get DRM-Free Copies of Comic Bundles when available. It's not unlikely for there to be at least 1 bundle for comics here. Also has the occasional mangas, though due to its nature, it's very possible to get repeats here.

A way to read for free older releases of these Indie Publishers. I've used it for a while to try it out and it's not half-bad... sadly this might be going the way of the Dodo, the Top 50 / New / Popular Lists isn't working and the Twitter Handle for this service hasn't tweeted anything in 2 years.
