Comix.one Announces A New POD Collaboration
Comix.one has announced a POD collaboration with HP's PSP network, launching in late August for creators in the USA, Canada, the UK, the EU, and Australia.
Comix.one today collaborates with HP’s Graphics Solutions Business and its global PSPs ‘Print Service Providers’ network to deliver print-on-demand service that empowers independent comic book creators from around the world to reach and engage fans of print comics. To be launched in late August, the fans of independent comics in multiple countries will be able to order a printed copy of a digital comic they like from the platform. The books will be printed, packaged and shipped exclusively for each reader.
HP brings a great deal of experience, reliability and scale with seamless connection to its network of Print Service Providers (PSPs) and the intuitiveness of the HP Brand Center software and HP Site Flow APIs. Through deeper integration with the platform, Comix.one is bringing the full print process flow into the platform. From pre-press proofing to sending the book orders directly to the partner PSPs, Comix.one intends to build the whole workflow directly into the dashboard.
As a part of this re-release of POD, there will be a phased rollout into multiple countries. The fans of comic books in the USA, Canada, UK, EU and Australia will soon be able to order books on demand from Comix.one. The global availability of POD will also allow the creators to reach fans in these new geographies with ease.
Comix.one provides a platform to hundreds of independent comic book creators from all over the world to sell and distribute their creator-owned work digitally to readers globally. They have recently launched a brand new crowdfunding platform, tailored entirely towards independent comic book creators and fans with built-in digital fulfillment and intend to launch a social platform to complement these features.
“As a lifelong fan of comic books and now independent ones, we love the feeling of holding a physical book in our hands.” says Saurabh. “Thanks to this collaboration with HP, we intend to bring stability, scalability, reliability and great customer experience to our creators and readers.”
For the fans of independent comics, Comix.one offers a diverse set of comics and creators spanning across genres and cultures and a convenient way to purchase and access them on the go. They want the fans to be able to find and read these comics if they missed them during the original crowdfunding run.
Time Bomb Comics Celebrates 20th Anniversary With New Titles
With their big anniversary, Time Bomb Comics has announced two new titles to look forward to – Amnesia Agents and The Patrolman.
September 2027 will mark the 20 th anniversary of publishing for UK indie publisher Time Bomb Comics. A huge occasion for any indie publisher, celebrations will begin in September 2026 and will include the publications of books, which will include ‘definitive editions’ of past titles, alongside new books.
The first of these, Amnesia Agents – The Collected Edition, is a full colour graphic novel by writer Jason Cobley and artist James Gray. It collects the original 2018 graphic novella along with the strips from Time Bomb’s popular Brawler anthology, as well as some brand-new material that frames and completes the story.
Amnesia Agents – The Collected Edition will be officially launched at the High Vis Comic Con taking place in King’s Heath, Birmingham on 19 September 2026, with the creators in attendance.
Blurb for Amnesia Agents:
Imagine if you could go back and change your memory of an event, or even a person. Imagine if you could open a cupboard and find everything you had ever forgotten: how to do algebra; that cute girl’s phone number; where you’d left the nuclear codes. With the help of the Amnesia Agents, it is possible.
There is a physical place that your memories go when they are forgotten - they are destined for a distant and ephemeral land called Echo. Sometimes, they are stolen by evil forces and it is the job of the Amnesia Agents to track them down.Persephone Mills and Theseus Brown, recruited from traumatic lives that they wanted to forget, are the Amnesia Agents. Remember those names – if you can.
The celebrations continue with the launch of The Patrolman Book One, from writer Nick Twyord and artist Will Chetwynd, and the first in a 5 book crime series set in an alternate London.
The Patrolman Book One will be officially launched at the Thought Bubble Comic Convention taking place at Harrogate in November 2026, with the creators in attendance.
Blurb for The Patrolman:
In a London fallen to gang control, sealed off from the rest of the world, retired super criminal Theo Deviant is bored.
Corrupt corporations run the city, trading with the rest of the world, offending his anarchist instincts. He realises the only person able to restore London and bring down the Lord Mayor, the enigmatic figure controlling the gangs, is the Patrolman, his deceased vigilante nemesis.It’s up to him to train a new Patrolman to take the city back.
Both titles will be available for pre-order to comics readers worldwide with upcoming Kickstarter campaigns.
