- 1.Decent Selection of Western Style Porn Comics
2.Good Mobile Site
3.Content is not Updated Regularly
4.Not a lot of Content for the High Membership Price
5.Previews Lack Important Information
6.No Arrow Key Navigation on Desktop
Comics and animations are available in a variety of styles and formats. There are parody comics, hentai, SFM, 3D, and many other enjoyable options. However, at times, one may desire classic, western-style adult comics for personal enjoyment. I have noticed that finding quality western adult comics has become increasingly difficult recently. It seems they have fallen out of favor for some time now. I understand this; the artistic style tends to evoke strong opinions, with some loving it and others disliking it. There are still some websites available, and what better way to begin than with a reputable premium site that offers regular updates of their original series?
This is precisely the type of site I am referring to in this discussion. Welcomix.com is a premium comic platform featuring original content, “animated” series, and more. All of it is presented in that western style that many of you enthusiastic individuals appreciate. Personally, I do not find this art style to be particularly appealing, but I can momentarily set aside my personal preferences to evaluate their site and offerings. Their statistics are decent, though not extraordinary, with approximately 500,000 views each month and a steady increase. However, they have only been operational since 2015, so there is ample opportunity for growth.
Expensive Premium Subscription Can Only be Billed on a Monthly Basis
Indeed, this site operates as a premium comic platform, but fortunately, you can view sample pages from the comics prior to committing to a premium membership. I always value when websites provide this option. Sometimes the content may not resonate with you, and with other platforms, you may never discover this unless you spend some money. And who would want to do that?
That would be akin to dating someone on Tinder without ever viewing her profile picture. One can only speculate about the outcome. This is particularly concerning given that this website is relatively costly compared to other premium comic platforms. You will be required to pay approximately 20 dollars for access to Welcomix.com alone. However, perhaps the content justifies the expense. We shall see. The previews available on the free site appear quite promising. Yet, they continuously entice you with the 'see more' button, which inevitably leads to a page requesting your credit card details.
Currently, there are only 12 comic series available for selection. The landing page is sufficiently acceptable. The glaring white background can be somewhat irritating, but there are no outrageous banner advertisements, flashing videos, or similar distractions. It features a clean layout with a straightforward header at the top labeled 'Home, All Series, All Titles, and Support.' Beneath this, you will find a compilation of previews for all their comic series... totaling 12 in number. Indeed, there are precisely 12 distinct series. Each series, however, contains its own collection of comic entries.
Now, certain entries such as 'The Naughty Home' and 'Animated Tales' boast a substantial number of entries. The former has over thirty, while the latter exceeds 100. Conversely, most of the other series may only present 2-3 entries, which is rather disappointing.
Additionally, as a side note, I found no animation in 'Animated Tales' whatsoever. It consisted merely of a few still images accompanied by several pages of text as narrative. I enabled Flash, experimented with different browsers, and attempted everything possible. I could not get these 'animated cartoons' to function at all. I presume they refer to animated in the sense of being lively. I am uncertain. All I know is that it is misleading. It would be more appropriate to rename it something like 'Erotic Tales.'
Insufficient Information in the Previews
The previews leave much to be desired. They provide the series title, a brief description, and a thumbs up or thumbs down counter. This rating system appears to be new, or the site is truly inactive, as the highest rating stands at 23. For a site that allegedly attracts 500k visitors, this is quite disappointing. Moreover, there is no comic count displayed in the preview, which is quite frustrating. There is also no note indicating the 'last updated' status, and I believe I can clarify that aspect at the very least.
None of these comics have seen updates in a considerable amount of time. The latest addition to 'The Naughty Home' was in January 2018. That was a full year ago as of this writing. They do have one comic series, 'Michelle’s Diary,' that received an update in December 2018, but the majority of the other comics have not been updated since 2017 or even 2016. Therefore, do not anticipate a consistent flow of updates, despite the support page asserting that they update weekly. This is simply not the case, at least not anymore.
However, it is commendable that they maintain a support page. You can easily submit a ticket, and the site guarantees 24/7 customer support. Additionally, you have the option to submit your own content to the site, though I am uncertain how frequently that occurs. It appears they concentrate primarily on the established series they already possess.
High-Quality Comics Created by Talented Artists
The actual comics exhibit a wide range of lengths. Some consist of merely a few panels accompanied by external text, while others are complete, full-length comic book entries. The inconsistency is rather frustrating. Nevertheless, the comics are crafted quite well. It is evident that considerable effort has been invested in some of these, and the artists deserve recognition. My criticisms are directed mainly at the site, not at the talented artists who produced these impressive adult comics.
You receive quite large images of the comic panels. They are certainly sufficient for reading the text and appreciating every minute detail. However, saving them is not an option. You cannot even right-click on the images to save them. While a workaround exists, there is no straightforward method to download these. Additionally, there are large watermarks across the back of each panel. I understand the desire to prevent theft of your work, but it is quite frustrating. I am paying for this service.
Furthermore, the comic navigation is quite poor. You must scroll through and click on 'next page' each time. There are no arrow key functions available. How can a site dedicated to image/comic galleries lack arrow key navigation? This is particularly unacceptable for a site for which I am paying $20 a month.
Everything is Superior on the Mobile Version of the Site
The mobile site is actually quite impressive. You can access all of the series without any issues, and the comics load more quickly. You can even swipe through the pages. However, ensure that you log off from the desktop version first, as you cannot be logged in at two locations simultaneously. If the system detects that you are logged in on the desktop, it will make you wait two minutes before allowing you to attempt to log in again. Aside from this minor inconvenience, I prefer the mobile version. It is more user-friendly and easier to navigate.
ThePornDude’s Preferred Features
My favorite aspect of welcomix.com is likely the design of the mobile site. I realize this may seem like a cop-out since I just mentioned it, but honestly, using this site was mostly frustrating otherwise. I was not particularly fond of the content, and the site itself was rather poor. There is a decent selection of content, but if this were a free site, it would be more acceptable. Paying $20 every month for this is excessively high. A renewal fee of $9.99 would be much more reasonable.
ThePornDude’s Recommendations
See the above, ha. However, on a serious note, please update the library and incorporate new content more frequently. Consider broadening your scope by including additional comic artists. As it stands, it will be challenging to justify renewing your membership on this site. Additionally, implement the site features I previously mentioned. Comic counts and update dates should be visible in previews. Arrow key functionalities are essential. These elements are crucial for managing an image gallery-based site like this.
ThePornDude’s Concluding Remarks
Keep a watchful eye on these individuals. Should they alter their current practices, I could envision them becoming a formidable competitor in the comic industry. However, that is a significant if. We shall see. That concludes my thoughts for this occasion. ThePornDude signing off!
