"GlobalComix is an innovator in the digital comics space, and has a clear understanding of the entire comics ecosystem, in which increasing the number of fans that read comics grows all parts of the business, including print comics and graphic novels sold through retail stores," ICv2 CEO Milton Griepp said in announcing the GlobalComix Co-Sponsorship. "We appreciate their contribution to the future of that ecosystem through this Co-Sponsorship, and welcome their participation."

"Together I feel that we will continue to create a stronger future for the medium, and industry as a whole, through sharing new ideas and creating tools that can help this very vibrant and exciting community thrive."
