Description
The largest comic library and store with the reader that Wired.com says “solves the problem of reading comics on the small screen.” With over 1,300 comics, including Marvel!
Comics are huge business all around the world in every continent, every language every demographic, from kids to older age folks. comiXology has developed a free app for iPad (and iPhone of course) that offers an introduction to some of the best comic titles available today. There are about more then 80 free comics that you can read on your iPad or iPhone and if you like them then buy them in print version as well. Pretty impressive huh?
Well not only buy the print online but there is a feature in the app that will allow you to lookup local comic ships where you can go and browse the comics. The most important feature of the app that we believe is ability to read comic books on screen. Navigation is easy and smooth and you can zoom in and out to read smaller text if a page is little too busy with pictures. This is certainly an app for comics lovers.
This App is designed for both iPad and iPhone.
The comic book reader with comiXology’s patent pending Guided View, where the entire comic page is left intact, and you are guided through a dynamically masked, iPhone-friendly view of the panels.
