There’s no search function, since chances are everyone would search for Harry Potter, which Epic doesn’t have (yet?). You can isolate age groups, and scroll through Netflix-like categories such as Mysteries, Sports, Nonfiction, Fantasy, Picture Books, and so on.

The badges are adorable, a great way of gamifying reading for the kids. “These four issues offer enough to enjoy in a single sitting but suggest a vast universe of diabolical happenings that deserves a half dozen trade paperbacks or more.Drilling down into a child’s profile, the parent can also see exactly which books the kid has read, how much time they spent with each one, and badges they’ve earned. “It’s a wonderful thing to read a book and feel in your bones what it would be like to stand in the room depicted on the page-the atmosphere is palpable.” –Multiversity Comics “Crook is a masterful storyteller who has already laid the groundwork for a new and fascinating mythology with this first issue.” –Biff Bam Pop Tyler Crook has created a mesmerizing new world, a compelling mythology, and brought it all to life with his jaw-dropping painted art. “ The Lonesome Hunters is everything I love about comics.
