Following the news that Marvel comics will be available for Sony’s PSP, Marvel comics recently announced their comic library would be available for the Apple iPhone.
Marvel has announced there are now four different apps available that deliver individual issues to iPhone users.
Consumers in many locales have a choice of comic shops in which to buy their comics so we wanted to offer fans the same variety of digital storefronts to be able to purchase and consume Marvel comics,” explained Ira Rubenstein, Executive Vice President, Marvel Digital Media. “It’s all about giving the consumer the best experience possible and the widest possible choice.”
Marvel is pushing new technology as a delivery method for their publications not only with the iPhone and PSP, but also their Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited service.
“As technology grows, the ways fans can consume our comics must expand as well,” Rubenstein said. “We’re very cognizant of that and will continue to explore avenues to offer the widest variety of fun ways for fans to read Marvel comics. Stay tuned for announcements coming soon regarding not only more iPhones apps, but ways to enjoy Marvel digital comics on other devices!”
Now, we just need an Apple tablet to be able to read the comics at full size.
