DC Comics Joins Marvel on iPad
Posted in: e-books, ipad, tablets, Today's Chili
DC comics are now available from Comixology, the commercial comic book reader for iOS devices and the web. The second of the big two publishers joins Marvel, Vertigo, Dark Horse and a slew of smaller publishers and imprints to make Comixology the easiest place to find e-comics.
Most of you will know Comixology as the “Comics” app for the iPhone and iPad, but any Flash-capable browser can be pointed at the Comixology site and used to read anything in your collection in a rather excellent online reader. Try this on a big monitor and you’ll forget about paper forever.
Comixology doesn’t offer every comic you might want, nor even every new release, but the addition of DC at least means there is one place to go on, say, you iPad no matter what you are looking for. Now you can buy (and in some cases download free) series like Batman (including the superb Batman Year One), Frank Quitely’s All Star Superman, Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, Green Lantern and others.
Best of all, Comixology is free in the App Store and online. And if you don’t care to download DRM’ed content of any kind, check out out list of the best Comic Apps for the iPad which can be loaded with your own scans.
