And that’s just for starters. Each week, more graphic novels will be added to the expanding Marvel IBookstore library, bringing to your iPad, IPhone, or iPod Touch a truly unique digital comic book reading experience that customers will never forget.
But don’t take our word for it. For a limited time, customers can read the first full issue of New Avengers Vol. 1: Breakout at the iBookstore…free of charge. For experienced comic book readers or casual fans alike, there’s something for everyone: action (X-Men: Messiah Complex), suspense (Secret Invasion), mysteries (Castle: Richard Castle’s Deadly Storm), literary adaptations (Pride & Prejudice), children’s tales (Wonderful Wizard of Oz) and more!
Skitch Commentary: A lot of these collections are already available through Comixology’s various apps (I just read Second Coming this weekend), but it is always cool to see more and more options to get people checking out digital comics.
Apple is really dominating the market when it comes to Tablets and Smart phones. I hope that Apple can bring some new readers to the industry!
My biggest concern is that I hope that we don’t start seeing some exclusive trades only available on certain platforms. DC limiting their trades to being only available on Kindle Fire was a huge mistake to me. Marvel using Comixology and now Apple seems like a better way to reach a larger audience.
