“We’re very excited to welcome TKO Studios to the Comics Plus family,” said Guy LeCharles Gonzalez, LibraryPass’ Chief Content Officer. “Not only do they have a compelling and growing catalog featuring notable creators who will be of great interest to our customers, but they truly support libraries’ efforts to engage readers of all kinds, regardless of where, how, or when they choose to read. Offering day & date availability to libraries via Comics Plus ensures libraries can meet demand for their titles at their peak, not just as backlist readalikes.”
