DC Entertainment has announced a partnership with GlobalComix , a digital platform that has raised millions in funding to optimize traditional comics to be read by scrolling vertically on a smartphone.

Starting October 17 , fans will be able to read 400 DC , Vertigo , and Wildstorm books, including story arcs from Batman , The Joker , and Doom Patrol .

Vertically-scrolling comics allow readers to follow the story top-to-bottom, like reading a feed on their smartphone.

GlobalComix has been working on its vertical comics initiative for the past 18 months .

DC Go! will be importing DC ’s content over from DCUI , which means it’ll be ready for tablets and smartphones.

The publisher has partnered with Webtoon on several series, including Wayne Family Adventures .
