Neon Ichiban 2.0 Arrives Six Months After the Platform Comes Out of Beta

Posted on by
Neon Ichiban

Six months after launching the platform, Neon Ichiban is entering its next era. The digital comics platform has launched Neon Ichiban 2.0, a major platform evolution that expands how fans read, collect, and connect with comics and manga across iOS, Android, desktop, and entirely new immersive environments.

Neon Ichiban was built to be the global home for digital comics and manga: one destination to read, collect, discover, and connect with stories and creators. With 2.0, that vision accelerates.

Neon Ichiban 2.0 is a full-scale expansion of the platform, introducing new native apps, deeper reading experiences, community-driven features, and new tools for fans and creators.

Neon Ichiban was launched in June 2025 and quickly announced a flurry of publishers joining the platform. Founded by comiXology and DSTLRY co-founder David Steinberger and DSTLRY co-founder and comic vet Chip Mosher, the platform added unique aspects like digital remarques and moved out of its Beta in November 2025. It launched on iOS in January 2026 and added more intriguing features including pre-order rewards and recently announced a “review and earn” program.

WHAT’S NEW IN NEON ICHIBAN 2.0

iOS App 2.0 — Rebuilt From the Ground Up: A fully native iOS experience designed for speed, flexibility, and immersion. More reading modes, more customization, and a smoother, faster library.

Android Beta — Native and Built for Android Readers: Built from the ground up for Android users, with a fast, native reading experience. Sign up here.

Apple Vision Pro App Beta — Comics at a New Scale: Step inside the stories. Make your comics story-tall on your wall. Open multiple books at once. Read like you’re inside the page. Get the beta here.

Creator Hub — Get Verified, Start Earning: Creators take control of their Neon Ichiban page, sell digital comics as a verified creator, and offer Remarques — digital signatures, sketches, and soon, custom commissions — directly to fans. Set your own prices and sign Remarques live at conventions. Online commissions are coming soon.

Community — Review Comics. Earn Rewards. Post your thoughts, share your knowledge, and connect with other fans. Rate, review, and earn rewards for reviews, lists, and discussions. We’re creating the best comics and manga community on earth, built by the people who actually read them. 

Watchlist — Never Miss a Drop. Track what you love. Get notified on price drops and releases. Build your list and stay ahead of the next must-read.

Custom Lists — Built by You. Create customized lists of your reading and shopping picks.  Get notifications on price drops, marketplace listings, as well as new items in the series.

Neon Ichiban Commits $10,000 to a New “Review & Earn” Program

Posted on by
Neon Ichiban Review & Earn Program 

Neon Ichiban, the new digital comics and manga platform, has announced a $10,000 commitment to its new Review & Earn Program, rewarding readers with platform credit for contributing qualified reviews across the catalog. Publishers on Neon Ichiban include Ablaze, Dark Horse, DC, DSTLRY, Dynamite, IDW, Kodansha, Mad Cave Studios, Marvel, Oni Press, Rebellion, Titan, Udon, and Vault Comics. Each qualified review earns $0.50 in platform credit, capped at $5 per user.

The Review & Earn Program is now open and runs until the $10,000 USD pool is fully distributed. All items on the platform are available to purchase with credit earned through the program, further cementing Neon Ichiban as the one-stop shop for digital comics and manga.

Neon Ichiban is a new digital comics and manga platform built with unique features for both readers and collectors, delivering same-day-as-print comics, manga, and graphic novels. Standard editions and sketch covers are always available, with limited-time variants for collectors. 

Fans stay in control—read online anywhere, download as PDF when enabled, and always read offline through the iOS app, with Android coming soon.

Digital issues can transform into one-of-a-kind collectibles through Neon Ichiban’s patent-pending Remarques technology, where creators sign and sketch directly on your comics. 

A built-in consumer-to-consumer marketplace completes the loop, allowing fans to buy and sell digital comics while ensuring publishers and creators share in every resale. 

The Review & Earn program’s terms and conditions apply. No purchase necessary. A qualified review meets a minimum length requirement and passes moderation. Credit can be applied to any purchase on Neon Ichiban, including same-day-as-print releases, backlist titles, and Remarques — the platform’s creator-signed digital collectibles.
