BuildingBuy, collect, and battle your favourite comics in one place.
Honest Framing
What it is
An online comic book store and collector platform for buying single issues, signed editions, and rare key issues. It also includes "Battleground", a no-login browser game where you pick a hero, the game picks an opponent, and dice-driven rounds play out narrated like a comic.
What it's not
Not a marketplace or auction site, and not a digital comic reader. It sells physical back issues and adds a bit of play on top - it isn't trying to be a full trading or grading platform.
Audience
Who it's for
- Comic collectors hunting back issues and key appearances
- Readers after single issues and signed editions
- Casual fans who want to play with the characters, not just buy
Who it's not for
- People looking for digital/online comic reading
- Buyers wanting a large general marketplace
- Anyone after pull-list subscriptions or full collection-management software
Current State
Last updated: June 14, 2026Online back-issue catalogue is live with browsing, single issues, signed editions and key issues. Battleground - a turn-based hero fighting game built into the store - is in active development, currently a single one-on-one mode with 24 characters.
