Starting with the June issue, fans will be able to purchase PREVIEWS digital codes from their local comic book shop for a discounted price.

PREVIEWS digital will also feature hyperlinks to PREVIEWSworld.com for each item offered, so fans can get complete up-to-date information, as well as preview pages of the upcoming comic books and graphic novels as they become available.

"By transitioning to digital, we can reach a larger audience with a single issue that is available both in print and online," said Diamond Marketing Director Dan Manser. "We know there are many people who want all the news and information that PREVIEWS has to offer, but would prefer to receive it digitally. Now they can read the entire issue online at their leisure!"

In addition to PREVIEWS, customers will also have free access to PREVIEWS companion publications such as Marvel PREVIEWS, the new DC PREVIEWS catalog, as well as Image Plus. Each can be found for free at www.PREVIEWSworld.com/digital or in the PREVIEWS Publications app.
