“The ability to provide instant access to digital materials is a key differentiator for Comics Plus. Instant access establishes credibility for Comics Plus among Gen Z patrons using school libraries and who are accustomed to Amazon’s Comixology or apps like MangaFox, Webtoon, and CrunchyRoll, subscription services that provide access to manga and anime.” [Digital Public Library Ecosystem 2023]

“The most important feature of Comics Plus is that it offers unlimited, simultaneous access to its materials. Readers of all ages have faced the disappointment of discovering that the books they want to read are not available on their library’s shelves, because they are checked out, missing, damaged, or unavailable. Being able to offer a service in which a small reading group, an entire class, or an entire grade level can read the same book at the same time with no waiting period is an absolute game changer.” [FULL REVIEW]

“Comics Plus is an excellent resource to build and expand both sequential art collections and public awareness of the format’s diversity and appeal. The content is broad, deep, rich, and nuanced and offers high-interest options for dedicated and novice comics readers alike. Supporting resources, including the featured lists and category tags, provide support for library staff and an opportunity to increase community access to the format. The LibraryPass platform works almost intuitively and has been designed with clear library utility awareness.” [FULL REVIEW]

“It is important to consider that there are no waiting lists, titles can be read an unlimited number of times by multiple users simultaneously, and the ‘granular title control gives administrators the power to customize Comics Plus to suit’ readers’ preferences.… Highly recommended. General readers, lower-division undergraduates, and two-year students.” [FULL REVIEW]
