My Shelf

My Shelf is the signed-in page that holds everything you have gathered: the work you follow, the creators you follow, what you have subscribed to, what you have bought, and the book you are halfway through. One page, no hunting.

Read time about 4 min

1What your shelf gathers

My Shelf pulls together four collections: your Library (the issues and series you follow), Creators (the studios you follow), Subscriptions (your active tiers), and Purchases (what you have bought). Everything shows its cover and links straight to the work, so you open a title in one click.

My Shelf's tabs: Library, Creators, Subscriptions, Purchases, Commissions, Backing and Tips.

My Shelf is a signed-in surface. Following something is what puts it here, and following is free.
Pro note
Follow generously. It costs nothing, and it's how your shelf and your Browse both get good.

2Pick up where you left off

Continue reading sits on the shelf, holding the book you were partway through and returning you to the page you stopped at. No bookmarks to manage, no remembering which issue you were on. Just start again.

Pro note
Read a page on your phone at lunch, and Continue reading picks up from the same page at home.

3The creators you follow

Creators is the list of studios you have followed. Following a studio does two things: their new work turns up in your Browse feed, and they appear here so you can get back to them in a click. It is a simple way to keep up with someone's whole output.

Following a studio does not auto-join you to its community room. Those are separate choices.
Pro note
Following is for keeping up. Joining a room is for hanging out. You can do either, or both.

4Subscriptions, purchases, and tips

Subscriptions lists your active tiers, each with an Unsubscribe control right there, no hunting through settings. Purchases holds everything you have bought outright. Your tips are gathered here too, a record of the creators you have backed directly.

Pro note
Unsubscribe is right on the shelf on purpose. Nobody should have to dig to leave.

Quick questions

By following it (issues, series, or studios), subscribing to a tier, or buying it. Purchases and subscriptions land automatically; following is a single click and costs nothing.

Right on My Shelf. Each active tier under Subscriptions has an Unsubscribe control beside it.

No. Following keeps you up to date with their work; joining a community room is a separate, deliberate choice.
