I følge forlaget er Comix en serie tegneserie-romaner for yngre lesere, som finner bøkene i den populære Graffix-serien litt for kompliserte. Bøkene i Comix-serien er skrevet av populære forfattere og dekker ulike sjangere: opplevelser og spenning, science fiction, komedie og fotballhistorier. Samtlige bøker er illustrert av vel ansette tegneserie-tegnere. Denne blandingen gjør serien visuelt tiltalende og gir trolig de fleste 7-9 åringer lyst til å lese, selv om de tidligere har vegret seg for dette. Bøkene utgis første gang 30. september 2000.
