The ComiXologist Podcast Heads to SXSW!

March 12, 2015 – New York, NY – ComiXology, the revolutionary cloud-based digital comics platform, is proud to announce that The comiXologist podcast is heading to this year’s SXSW in Austin, Texas with co-hosts Matt and Kara providing coverage, commentary, along with special comic, graphic novel, and manga recommendations – and, as always, giveaways – to listeners worldwide.
In addition to a series of special podcasts released over the weekend, fans who are attending the free and open to the public SXSW Gaming Expo this weekend should be sure to go to the Sunday afternoon panel “ComiXology Recommends Comics For You,” where Matt and Kara will be joined by comiXology co-founders David Steinberger and John D. Roberts in making live comic recommendations and giving each panel attendee an exclusive SXSW poster and t-shirt while supplies last.

The comiXologist podcast hosts will also be at the comiXology booth (#121) right next to the GEEK Stage during the Gaming Expo where they’ll be meeting and greeting fans as well as giving away 30,000 promo codes for free from DC Entertainment to anyone that stops by! The DC Comics and Vertigo titles being given away for free at the comiXology booth (#121) are sure to excite gaming fans as the giveaway includes tie-in comics to today’s hottest games: Batman: Arkham Knight #1-2, Mortal Kombat X #1-2, and Fables: The Wolf Among Us #1-2.

 

Since its recent re-launch during this past year’s Comic-Con International in San Diego, The comiXologist weekly podcast has been devoted to helping people discover new comic books, graphic novels, and manga to read. The comiXologist most recently covered the Angoulême International Comics Festival in France, bringing on-the-ground coverage of the world-famous comics festival to an English-speaking audience with special episodes and creator interviews.
Whether you’re a long time comics fan or aren’t quite sure where to start, co-hosts Matt and Kara of The comiXologist will be your guides! Tune in every week for answers to your recommendation questions, what’s new on comixology.com, free comics to try out, and what Kara & Matt read and like that week.
