SDCC 2026 Day One: David Steinberger and Chip Mosher on Neon Ichiban 2.5 — Comic Book Couples Counseling Podcast

The digital comics market has evolved massively in the last few years. It’s time we had a proper conversation about our relationship with it, and we’re eager to have it with Comixology veterans and Neon Ichiban founders David Steinberger and Chip Mosher. With San Diego Comic-Con International in full swing, we brought them onto the show to discuss their evolution with digital comics and what they’re delivering to readers AND collectors stumbling around the con floor.

They recently launched Neon Ichiban 2.5. This next chapter in their development promises huge growth to their community. Steinberger and Mosher are bringing the convention environment to their platform. Meet your favorite creator. Get a signature. Walk artist alley and discover something new. Hang out with the like-minded and get nerdy together.

Neon Ichiban 2.5 offers digital signatures, commissionable remarques, community profiles, reviews, reading lists, collections, and a whole lot more. We get into it all with David Steinberger and Chip Mosher. And we talk about why San Diego Comic-Con is still an essential place to present digital comics.

Today’s podcast is Part Two in our San Diego Comic-Con coverage. Make sure you listen to Part One with Christopher Cantwell, all about IDW Publishing’s upcoming Star Trek relaunch (speaking of fandom and community). Visit Neon Ichiban, browse around, and follow them on their socials (Instagram and Bluesky).
