BondageComixxx Review

A line reading No war in Ukraine sits at the top of every page, above the search box and above the comic shelves. Nobody needs to state a position on an invasion in order to sell bondage comics, and the fact that somebody chose to says more about who runs this than an about page would. It has clearly been there long enough to become part of the furniture.

Underneath it the shelves publish their own totals, and the largest is a judgement rather than a subject: Must Have holds 9,851 titles, ahead of Goodies at 5,261, CGI at 4,938, Gold at 3,427 and BDSM at 3,157. Gay gets 216. Sorting a collection by whether someone thinks you ought to read it is a curatorial claim most indexes never make, and it means the busiest way in is one person's taste.

Artists form the other taxonomy, listed by name in a rail that runs deep into the Z's — Zzomp, Zordon, Zuton, Zorglube50 — which is what an archive assembled over years looks like rather than one imported in a single pass. Month-by-month archives support that, running without gaps, and the footer dates the operation to 2008.

Two paid tiers sit above the free material, labelled Premium and Gold, under a headline offering 24,000 comics plus a hidden Gold area. What separates the tiers, and what either costs, waits until the join page.
