The Vertical Cut
Upload a traditional US comic page and we re-cut it into stacked, one-beat-at-a-time episodes built for scrolling — the micro-drama format readers already know from webtoons, drawn from your own pages.
Scroll the panel above — this is the reader on a phone.
Every episode above is for sale in the shop.
