Provided by AppStoreHQ.com http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/08/18/review-comics-by-comixology-iphone-app/ Short Version: Comic lovers looking for a quick fix while on-the-go will want to check out ComiXology’s recently released Comics app for the iPhone and iPod Touch. Comics range from $0.99 to $1.99 and free comics are released on a weekly basis to satiate the cheapskates. Despite the lack of content from major publishers, like DC and Marvel, you can still get the best superhero comic available, Invincible. Extended Version As the first real Comic book reader for the iPhone OS, ComiXology’s app does a good enough job, but it’s hard to look past the lack of content from major publishers. Even with support from Robert Kirkman and Image Comics, Comics falls a bit flat on the content side. From a functional standpoint, it works beautifully. Navigating through the app is surprisingly simple. You can search for comics by title, creator, publisher, genre or rating. Searching via the “Featured” tab cuts Tue, 18 Aug 2009 16:25:21 GMT http://www.mobilecrunch.com/2009/08/18/review-comics-by-comixology-iphone-app/ MobileCrunch (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAppleBlog/~3/ZzJ0a_TK2NA/ As we wave goodbye to the week that was, it’s time to take a look at the latest iPhone recommendations from the App Store. This week I’ve been looking at Comics, Coat Hangr, Coins and Album Shuffle. Comics ($0.99) It was released back in June and yet, due to the deluge of apps I deal with on a daily basis, I never quite got to spend time getting into Comixology’s Comics app. Having been hit with a sudden hankering to read some good comics, coinciding with a friend’s recommendation of The Walking Dead series, I decided to spend some quality time with Comics. The app is 99 cents and includes a growing stack of free comics – usually first issues – plus, and here’s the really special thing, you can purchase and download new issues from within the app. The content is utterly fantastic and the interface incredibly accomplished. In fact, Sat, 22 Aug 2009 16:00:13 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheAppleBlog/~3/ZzJ0a_TK2NA/ TheAppleBlog (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/appleiphoneapps/~3/OJkHCPP0HqQ/ The App Store currently contains tons of separate comics and comic book readers, but few can really compare to Comics by comiXology.  The app has hundreds of comics available for download and 50 more have just been added to the list for you to check out. Comics features an easy to navigate interface that allows you to search for a specific comic or browse by genre, creator, publisher, or rating.  The app is able to store as many comics as your device can handle, which means you won’t have to go searching around through multiple pages to find the comic you desire.  The app also features comiXology’s patent pending “Guided View,” which is able to view comics panel by panel, dynamically masking the rest of the page.  You can also choose to view entire pages just as the writer intended.  Other features include a local comic book shop finder and a Mon, 24 Aug 2009 22:36:18 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/appleiphoneapps/~3/OJkHCPP0HqQ/ Apple iPhone Apps (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IntoMobile/~3/UdLHdnxGc-0/comics-iphone-app-updated-with-50-new-issues.html Remember the Comics iPhone app we covered few weeks ago? Well, it’s been updated with 50 new issues bringing the total number of available comics to 160, which is kinda impressive! Again, we have some free and some paid comics in the new bundle, meaning that a buck ($0.99) you’ll pay for the app itself is well worth it. Or at least, that’s in case you love comics, like I do. Hopefully, we’ll see more comics (especially free issues) being added in the near future. In the meantime, if you still haven’t download the application, you can do that by clicking on this link.

The app is clean, polished and easy to use. It’s definitely a winner. You start off with an empty library of comics, so downloading is the first step. In order to download comics, you’ll need to create an account with ComiXology.com. The sign up process is fast, simple and will allow you to download comics in no time at all. The store includes three main sections: featured, free and top twenty-five. There is also a section to search for a specific title, rating, genre, creator or publisher. When in the featured section, you can view comics by new, popular or rating. Each listing includes a graphic and price tag. When you tap on a comic, you’ll get even more information about it, including a summary, recommended Sun, 20 Sep 2009 22:20:39 GMT http://www.appvee.com/t/comics AppVee (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://justanotheriphoneblog.com/wordpress/iphone-software/comics-for-iphone-updated-to-1-2-adds-push-notifications-for-new-comics-and-twitter-support/ There will be a few more new comics from Boom! comics coming to the Comics app soon, but that’s not the biggest news of the 1.2 update. Push notifications will now be sent to Comics users whenever new issues of your favourite titles become available, and you can have the app auto-tweet about your in-app activities (I turned this one off  – feels a bit too spammy for my tastes). They also added the ability to see which comics you’ve bought, although it took me a little while to find this feature. I thought I’d see some sort of badge or notification before buying a comic I already owned, or see some indication of ownership while browsing the catalogue. It turns out it’s much simpler than that. You just go to the “My Comics” tab and scroll down to the “Browse My Comics by…” section.

Here’s what’s new: And that’s about it. The application costs $0.99 and there’s also the free version packing only the free titles.

Rolando 2: Quest for the Golden Orchid is now available in the App Store free of charge, or at least the first chapter is.  After downloading the game, you can purchase chapters 2-4 via in-app purchases for $.99 a piece.  Chapters 5 and 6 are combined as a single in-app purchase for $1.99.  That puts the total price of the full game at the same $4.99 price that it was at previously.  You can also just purchase all chapters at once via a single in-app purchase for $4.99 if you already know you want the full game. is another popular app that has been Fri, 16 Oct 2009 14:55:33 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/appleiphoneapps/~3/Zgv6fHEpmyU/ Apple iPhone Apps (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/iphonealley/sitewide/~3/YK7176EBRzg/marvel-comics-now-available-for-purchase-in-several-iphone-apps Marvel Comics has announced that three comics apps in the app store will be getting the ability to sell several series from the Marvel inventory as in-app purchases.

(In-app purchases allow apps to offer a free version and then make money by requiring consumers to pay for additional features or content). Today, Distimo put out a report (download it here) which breaks down the top 40 grossing in-app purchasing titles by category (see chart below). Games, social networking, and book apps are doing the best job upselling consumers from free apps to paid enhancements. Music, news, and finance apps, not so much.

The video embedded below shows off what it will be like viewing a comic in Comics on the iPad in landscape mode. As you can see, comics will be able to be viewed two pages at a time in landscape mode with the option to view each panel in full-screen mode.  What isn’t shown, however, is that when you flip the device you can view comics as a single page.  This is just a taste of what to expect, as there will be many more viewing options available when the app is released.

Aus diesem Gespräch lässt sich David Carr folgendermaßen zitieren: One thing you have to understand about this gadget is that the gadget disappears pretty quickly. You’re looking into pure software. Genau wie John Gruber halte ich diese Aussage für eine der wichtigsten Statements, die das iPad betrifft. Beziehungsweise nicht betrifft. Zwar wird unsere Perspektive von der Hardware, bei einer konstant breiten Gerüchtelage um zukünftig verbaute Kameras oder gesuchte iPad Media-Entwickler, nie so ganz abrücken, sie wird jedoch mit der Veröffentlichung angepasster App Store-Software in den Hintergrund treten. Das iPhone ist das beste Beispiel: Zu jeder neuen Geräte-Generation gibt es eine – relativ gesehen – kurze Phase in der sich alles um neue Kameramodule-, GPS-Empfänger oder Kompass-Funktionen dreht.

The iPad as a reading device works best with visual media such as graphic novels and standard comic books. One of the best early apps on the iPad, for instance, is the Marvel Comics reader, which was developed by ComiXology, which also offers a general comics reader app for both the iPad and the iPhone with 1,700 titles across different publishers. Now ComiXology is bringing that reading experience to the Web with a browser-based reader in Tue, 01 Jun 2010 22:26:26 GMT http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/gdjaFutTxA0/ TechCrunch (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://www.tuaw.com/2010/06/23/official-dc-comics-app-is-live/ ComiXology has done it again. First the Marvel Comics app was released, powered by the company's familiar engine, and then one recently for BOOM! Studios. Now DC Comics has finally released its own app, running on ComiXology's familiar interface. So far the DC store's offerings are rather slim, especially when you take into account all of the titles the publisher handles. Most of the titles available are the more recent ones, such as Green Lantern: Rebirth and Frank Miller's Batman. One very awesome offering of note in the store: Neil Gaiman's Sandman; it's only one issue so far, but that's a much better start than zero. ComiXology also has their own comics app and, just as the DC, Marvel and BOOM! apps are, it is free. Some of the same titles offered in the individual comics apps are available within the ComiXology app, though you can only get DC titles within Wed, 23 Jun 2010 21:00:00 GMT http://www.tuaw.com/2010/06/23/official-dc-comics-app-is-live/ TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://www.tuaw.com/2010/07/29/20-great-free-ipad-comics/ CNET's Crave blog compiled a great list last week of twenty great, free comic books to read on your iPad. For me, more than anything else, the iPad seems perfect for a visual, interactive medium like comics. Movies are better on my big screen, and books can be read on a Kindle (or just on paper -- weird, I know), but for the iPad, having the ability to zoom in on a great piece of comic art or download new comics straight to the device to be read on that big, colorful screen seems perfect. Enter this list, which has some great free samples from both the DC and Marvel comics apps, or a few other free Comics reader apps available on the store.

The gameplay is simple, you must guide Kiko and his cat-like friends (all of whom are sleeping…typical cats) by sliding them around the level to little panels that match their color. It all sounds very easy, but that's what makes a great game: easy to grasp but difficult to master.    2) Frotz for iPad (free) We Thu, 16 Dec 2010 13:46:29 GMT http://feeds.ismashphone.com/~r/typepad/1209935315s4903/ismasher/~3/RpoPuIjxqVo/favorites-that-were-largely-overlooked-1.html iSmashPhone (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheIphoneBlog/~3/tQF2b3BHyaA/ By Rene Ritchie, Tuesday, Dec 28, 2010 | Have an iPad and curious which are the best, most must-have reading apps you need to check out?

Comic book readers for iOS let anyone indulge in stories of adventure and superheroes. In honor of Comic-Con, we found 10 of the best -- some are free apps that let you buy comics as in-app purchases, and others are paid library apps where you upload digital comics you already own. But at least one should suit every true believer's needs. 1 of 10 ComicsComics, more commonly referred to as Comixology after its developer, is notable for one specific reason: it's the only place where you can buy comics by DC along with publishers, which makes it a must-have for comic fans. The free, universal app may not be the best software for reading, but when you've got the weight Sat, 23 Jul 2011 23:24:15 GMT http://www.maclife.com/article/gallery/10_awesome_ios_comic_book_apps Mac|Life (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://www.tuaw.com/2012/01/27/comixology-reigns-over-comics-on-the-ipad/ While there are still quite a few good comic book reader apps on the App Store, there's really only one choice for buying digital comics directly from the publishers: Comixology's aptly title Comics app. Comixology launched early on iOS devices, beginning with a web interface and then the very popular iPhone app. Since the introduction of the iPad the company's really started to shine, bringing in huge partnerships with publishers like DC, Marvel, and Image Comics. Comixology provides both a very slick and usable reading interface and a very well-designed store that delivers digital comics through in-app purchases. Comixology's VP of Marketing, PR, and Business Development Chip Mosher kindly met up with us on the floor of Macworld | iWorld this week, and he agrees that the App Store has brought a lot of success for Comixology, both the app and the company itself (which also runs a few other standalone Fri, 27 Jan 2012 12:00:00 GMT http://www.tuaw.com/2012/01/27/comixology-reigns-over-comics-on-the-ipad/ TUAW - The Unofficial Apple Weblog (Provided by AppStoreHQ) http://www.tuaw.com/2012/02/06/the-pros-and-cons-of-making-a-digital-jump-with-comics/ Anime News Network did an in-depth comparison of reading manga on an iPad vs. a Nook Color today, after Viz Media sent them both devices so they could do a hands-on look at making the digital jump. After taking a hit from the closing of Borders, Viz decided to turn its popular Shonen Jump publication into a digital-only product. Launched in January, Weekly Shonen Jump Alpha is $25.99 for an annual subscription, with three of its flagship series -- One Piece, Bleach and Naruto -- now running almost concurrent with the Japanese release. Individual issues can be rented for 99 cents for a 4-week period. The results aren't surprising. By holding up a volume of manga next to an iPad, it shows that the iPad is right about the same size as a manga volume and the experience is just as good as reading a print book.
