If you still have yet to try reading some comics using the Comixology service — which lets you read on the web, but also through iPhone/iPad apps — let me point you to the two digital trade releases of The Unknown, which are currently free downloads, in remembrance of the recent passing of the book’s [...]

Let me point you to this terrific post by Dustin Harbin on the problem with digital comics, which pretty much echoes everything I’ve been thinking and saying here over the past year. It comes down to these two points: 7) A big part of the reason that the digital iteration is so expensive is that [...]

Starting April 23, Starbucks (in the US) will be offering at all its locations free access to the full library of Marvel Digital Comics Unlimited, which contains a rotating collection of 8000 comics.

I posted yesterday about my absolute love of the new Sad Comics app — and indie comic series by Roman Muradov — and now we get a peek at the actual design process of the app thanks to this lengthy and visual breakdown by the app’s designer, Alex Komarov. It’s really quite fascinating to see [...]
