Toonsutra launches beta version of ‘Cinematic Mode’ for comics

Toonsutra, a digital comics app with over one million monthly active users, has launched the beta version of Cinematic Mode, an immersive comic-reading feature that combines animation, music and narration with traditional panels.

The new mode allows readers to experience comics in a hands-free, auto-scroll format where stories play out with synchronised sound and visuals. The company said the feature is designed to offer a “lean-back” storytelling experience that sits between comics and short-form video.
