This may get me back into collecting comics. I couldn't stand having boxes of comics around that I didn't read anymore, but as space on something i carry with me that would be perfect.




No PS3 support, just PSP?

I will give it a whirl if I dont have to buy psp/use tiny screen.

This is exactly how I feel about it too.

 

Hopefully they'll include collections of old issues as well.



Currently playing: Uncharted: Drake's Fortune, NBA2k11, Metal Gear Solid, Picross 3d

I saw quite a few comics from the early 90's when they had that big spread of covers floating. I wonder how far back they will go?

If it's out now, I'm in! I like the Make.Believe slogan, too. Is that new?



Is this for the U.S also?



I downloaded a few of the free comics yesterday just to get a feel for the service. It's pretty damned awesome! My big gripe is the selection. It has a few older series like House of M and Planet Hulk, but I want more recent storylines. I'm also a bigger fan of DC comics than Marvel. Still, it's very enjoyable. I couldn't imaging a digital comic being done much better, for the price. If they were all animated (like the Batman: Black and White digital comics) I'd be even more ecstatic, but that's not really practical. Can't wait for the increased selection. Comics fans, rejoice~!!



Not out in Canada :(

The selection was limited, despite already having hundreds of comics.  Some of the ones available for download alreay go back to the 60's!  Original GI Joe and Transformers comics, as well as some mainstream stuff like Archie and Mickey Mouse were there, too (FOR FREE!!).  Downloading takes about a minute and a half, wich was really surprising.  I really hope the service is a huge success.  The better it does, the more likely other comic book companies are going to jump on board.
