So what’s the deal? I’m kicking off this re-launch of reviews on the site with SPIN Play not because it’s a new release (the app came out back in the spring), but because it’s a magazine I’ve really enjoyed on iPad since its launch, and I feel like it needs to be covered here. SPIN [...]

I tweeted it when it was released, but now I have the print edition in my hands, and so it’s a good time to remind everyone that Michael Bojkowski‘s third edition of his excellent self-published magazine Lineread came out recently, the “Decadism” issue. Michael is the designer behind the recently re-launched Grafik, but here is [...]

Nevermind the conflicting news on whether or not Hearst has gotten a special deal from Apple in terms of how to deal with subscriptions — I don’t think it did, as is reflected in this article’s update — but what bothers me is the following bit: The Hearst deal covers corresponding apps for Esquire, Popular [...]

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 [...]

This kind of thing — DC Comics announcing a simultaneous release in print and digital at the same price — annoys the hell out of me. Sure, the excuse publishers keep coming up with is that they don’t want to anger the loyal comic store owners that form the backbone of their business, but really, [...]

You may remember that when I took a look at the latest issue of Wired on iPad, I mentioned how I noticed that I no longer had access to the June issue. I regularly delete the issues after I’m done reading them because of all the space they take up, and I still had access [...]

The site for C A R S O N magazine is now up — read my previous post — and includes more details on the magazine, as well as contact info for potential contributors and interns. You can also now buy a subscription directly from the site, although I’m a bit shocked by the difference [...]

Waking up this morning and finding out about the release of Pretentious Press‘ Sad Comics app for iPad absolutely made my day. This is a beautiful thing, and a true sign that indie comics can really make a splash on the device, by way of their own apps. Now, in general, I’m not particularly supportive [...]

I’m starting to get really confused with all of the conflicting reports we’re getting about Rupert Murdoch’s much hyped The Daily. Initially word was that the publisher was teaming up with Apple to produce the innovative daily — one of the innovations is that it would be pushed to your device — but this latest [...]

Wired.com’s Underwire blog takes a look at the upcoming digital comics service from Dark Horse Comics, which will include an iPad/iPhone app. The important thing to note here is that unlike the other big comic publishers that often have their own apps but based on the Comixology platform, Dark Horse is producing its own app. [...]
