So far we’ve seen quite a few comic publishers get their own Comixology-powered apps, but as far as I know, Templesmith Comics (for iPad and iPhone) is the first one that is creator-specific. As the name suggests, the app sells all of the creator-owned series that prolific artist Ben Templesmith has produced for IDW. Not [...]

Sure, pretty much every single magazine-related blog has posted the video above, but with good reason: It’s awesome. The short covers, in a chaotic manner, the making of the latest issue of Little White Lies (#33). Although this particularly issue is not up on Issuu yet, it should be up there eventually, joining the previous [...]

Get it from the iTunes App Store for $3.

With the new issue of Wired (19.02) out for the iPad, I figured I’d take a look at a few things I noticed. Let me start by saying that I’d be very happy if they did more theme issues like this — it’s “The Underground Issue.” Editorially speaking, everything feels tighter and there’s a better [...]

The other day I posted an aside about The Atavist and the images it was using to promote the app (I quickly got my answer), and I really am excited about the upcoming app — it launches this Wednesday — but after reading a piece in this week’s Bloomberg Businessweek, I’m even more excited.

Let me start by saying that I think the upcoming Atavist app looks like a very interesting one, and I’m liking what it wants to do (raise awareness and give a venue for long-form journalism and writing) — you can read more about it in this piece on the Fast Company site). I just find [...]
