News: Action Lab Comics continues expansion with digital debuts in October!
Action Lab Comics, publishers of the brilliant Molly Danger are adding to their ever-growing catalog of digital comics this Autumn. Alongside new ComiXology Guided View exclusives these also include the recently added mature readers line Danger Zone, and we’ve got a full rundown of these exciting new digital titles.
Released in conjunction with ComiXology at NYCC, the publisher debuted two new titles, and new installments, in the digital provider’s revolutionary new guided view technology. Guided view gives readers the ability to experience comic books in a seamless new format on screens and devices in a more immersive cinematic style. And now, Action Lab follows that up with more new titles debuting exclusively in digital formats, from multiple applications, each week this October!
Here’s the line-up and schedule for our exciting new digital debuts:
Molly Danger
Comics veteran Jamal Igle’s Molly Danger is already one of the hottest books to hit stores this year, and now the story continues in the digitally-exclusive Guided View format! Whether it’s read in the luscious over-sized graphic album format, or the amazing digital reconfiguration, Molly Danger is all-ages high adventure with a story and art that adult fans will enjoy and bring fun and excitement back to the superhero genre with a totally fresh take on the genre! (Be sure to read our exclusive interview with Jamal Igle to find out more!)
Vamplets
Quite possibly the cutest little undead ever, Gayle Middleton’s Vamplets has been one of the hottest new properties here at Action Lab and now this cartoon gothic tale from the designer of My Little Ponies continues in its digitally-exclusive Guided View format on ComiXology! See what all the excitement is about as a young woman finds out her new babysitting job might be more than she can handle!
Bo Plushy Gangsta
What if Teddy Ruxpin listened to NWA!? The outrageous and hysterical Bo Plushy Gangsta from Action Lab’s Mature Readers line Danger Zone and Russian video game artist Pavel Balabanov answer that question, and put the baddest man on the streets into the body of a teddy bear! Bo’s outlandish street-level exploits are available exclusively as a digital debut, in Guided View format, before it hits print this January!

Crimson Society
In a world where the children of the night and mankind live together in a fragile peace, one young werewolf wants nothing more than to be just a man… Mike Hunau’s Crimson Society joins the digital debuts beginning with a new zero issue only available from Action Lab: Danger Zone in digital first format, just in time for Halloween!

“We are proud that Action Lab is on the cutting edge of digital comic book technology,” says Action Lab president Kevin Freeman. “These titles all lend themselves perfectly to the digital format, and the Guided View books are nothing short of spectacular. Our readers are going to absolutely love these books.”
Danger Zone Publisher Jason Martin adds, “While Action Lab remains firmly committed to print comics, offering material digitally, and in new formats, gives us the opportunity to push the envelope even more with our content and offer even more exciting titles from rising global talent! I can tell you, as a creator also myself, Guided View is exactly the evolution of comics from printed page to digital screens that completely works and takes the medium to the next level, without being gimmicky or insulting to the language of the art form. We’re absolutely ecstatic to utilize these new digital formats to better showcase some of the eye-popping comics coming your way from our line!”
All of these amazing new titles will be in addition to our complete library of titles being offered via all major digital providers, including; ComiXology, Comics Plus and ActionLabComics.com.
