Home screen for new Neon Ichiban digital comics platform, announced June 19, 2025. DSTLRY/Neon Ichiban Neon Ichiban, a new digital comics marketplace with an elite pedigree from publisher DSTLRY, will launch with new and backlist material from Marvel Entertainment, DC Comics, Dark Horse Comics, Kodansha, Oni Press, Vault Comics and DSTLRY’s own titles, according to the company’s announcement today. Neon Ichiban will offer individual issues for sale to read and download, plus unique features that allow the signatures and remarques of digital issues and resale of limited-edition items on the site’s marketplace. The website and mobile reader app are slated to launch later this summer, with Android and IoS apps in development and expected to follow shortly, according to the company. “We’re trying to bring the fun of comic collecting to digital,” says DSTLRY cofounder/CEO David Steinberger in an exclusive interview. “Whether that’s being able to download your favorite comic as a PDF, getting it signed or sketched on, or being able to sell it to another collector. We’re building a hub for both readers and collectors.” Though DSTLRY has only been around since 2023, Steinberger and cofounder/CCO Chip Mosher are no strangers to the world of digital comics. Steinberger (with John Roberts) cofounded the market-leading app comiXology in 2008; comics industry veteran Mosher joined in 2011, serving as head of marketing and communications before transitioning into a publishing role. When comiXology was acquired by Amazon in 2014, Steinberger was tapped to head up Amazon’s entire global comics business, including operations in Japan and Europe as well as North America. Steinberger and Mosher left Amazon in 2022 as the company began folding ComiXology’s brand and technology into the larger Kindle digital bookstore.
