Today we're talking digital comics, innovation, and disruption — past, present, and future. I'm joined by two key figures who changed the game once… and are looking to do it again. David Steinberger and Chip Mosher, the co-founders of Comixology, are here to talk about their bold new venture: Neon Ichiban — a next-gen digital comics marketplace built to empower creators, preserve ownership, and rebuild trust in the digital reading experience.In this conversation, we dig into their Comixology origin story, the Amazon acquisition and aftermath, and why they believe now is the time to reboot what digital comics should be. From creator-first economics to indie publishing opportunities, this is a candid, no-BS look at the challenges and potential of reinventing comics distribution from the ground up — again.
It not often we get a chance to read comics from the ground up, but we lucked out with DSTLRY and their new brand imprint. Still the brainchild of David Steinberger and Chip Mosher, in May 2023. This is the house that has given artist and writers a fresh perspective, setting themselves up as the house that writers built: "focus on ethics, creator empowerment, and equity. Along with up-front participation by the founding creators, DSTLRY sets aside an additional 3% of company equity to be distributed among the creators who have projects released within the first three years. This equity will be distributed based of performance of titles" So what sells gets paid more. Seems simple right? Well in DSTLRY(episode) we said yes. We've since come back to the cutting edge studio to see the 2nd round of titles that have released to the marketplace. We also check some Issue 2's to see if those titles went Boom, Bah or Whoosh from where we last left off. So buckle up as Coke n Dank give you the rundown of all the new books under this studio house, from paid, to laid, to shade, everything gets a look!

It not often we get a chance to read comics from the starting position and move from ground up, but we lucked out with DSTLRY. Established by David Steinberger and Chip Mosher, in the olden days of May 2023... I know right? Ages ago. But it's that new look and early inception that has given artist and writers a fresh perspective, setting themselves up as the house that writers built "focus on ethics, creator empowerment, and equity. Along with up-front participation by the founding creators, DSTLRY sets aside an additional 3% of company equity to be distributed among the creators who have projects released within the first three years.
