Red Giant's 'SUPERNOVAS' Explodes Onto comiXology

Red Giant Entertainment Inc (OTCQB: REDG) has announced that the
first issue of its teen superhero comic book SUPERNOVAS will today
be offered as a "Digital First" free download on comiXology's
Comics app, the #3 top-grossing iPad app of last year. It will be
available on all versions of comiXology's main app for the iPhone,
iPad, Android, Kindle, Windows 8, and at comixology.com.
SUPERNOVAS, which Red Giant earlier this month announced is
being developed into a feature-length animated film, is a series
that follows four ordinary teens from a small town in upstate New
York. While observing a gamma ray burst, they and the town's nearby
Supermax prison are irradiated with massive energy that mutates
them and grants each of them extraordinary powers. Taking up the
mantle of superheroes, they must face off against the powerful
inmates who now wreak havoc on the world at large.
"We're thrilled to team with comiXology and our digital
distributor Keenspot to offer this landmark first issue for free in
their patented 'Guided View' format," said Red Giant CEO, Benny
Powell. "It is enlightening to realize just how powerful a fan base
comic fans can be. The fact that comiXology sales on the iPad
platform continue to outperform even game apps with household names
like ANGRY BIRDS and TEMPLE RUN is obvious proof of that."
Free first issues have proven to be an effective tool for
publishers. Earlier this month, when comiXology offered free
downloads of seven hundred Marvel Comics first issues for a limited
time, the response was so overwhelming that the promotion had to be
called off early. Some of the world's most powerful servers weren't
able to keep up with the demand from eager fans trying to download
the free issues.
In addition to SUPERNOVAS #1, comiXology is today also offering
a 64-page giant-size special issue of Red Giant's top-selling hit
WAYWARD SONS: LEGENDS for free. The TYTANS SPECIAL is an
illustrated guide to the "bad guys" of the WAYWARD SONS universe,
the Tytans. The Tytans' arch nemeses, the Ulympeans, received their
own 91-page giant-size handbook earlier this year.
Red Giant Entertainment titles can be found under the Keenspot
label in the Publishers section of the comiXology's Comics app or
