IDW, well known in the comics world for taking full advantage of technology with their iPhone comic apps, has jumped on the iPad train as well, and announces that they will have fully functional apps for reading your favorite IDW comics (including G.I. Joe).
In fact, they’ve also uploaded a video demo of the iPad IDW app in action. Check out the embedded video below.
You know, as strange as it may sound coming from a 35 year old that’s bought and read comics all his life….that sounds awesome. I have freaking comics everywhere. I don’t read many anymore but I just can’t seem to get rid of them as you know, once bought comics lose like 90% of their value with some rare exceptions (Man I wish I had a mint Action Comics #1 lieing around). And I just can’t seem to get myself to just throw them out.
I don’t like reading comics on my comp because I like to kick back and relax when I read stuff……which I can do with an iPad.
Neat little info there. Already wanted one of these anyway, it just got a little sweeter though. Things were just too small on the iPhone, but this will be cool.
ya im 34 and will probally always prefer a paper copy but I can definately see how this would be cool. Im tempted a little to buy! LOL
still sort of has that paper feeling to it for sure.
I most likely won’t get one. I do think it is cool that I could get comics on it. Clutter does not make a happy me, and uniform white boxes don’t help.
I’ve had a G.I.Joe and Transformers comic application on my Iphone for about 6 months now. I can purchase all the books for a tidy $1.99, it way more economical than the 3.99 cover price.
When they come out with one that has a brain plug, then I’ll go for it. The comics on the go is a great idea though. Marvel have one of those? DC?
@ Andrew Hall
It’s cheaper too????
Oh man. What you guys don’t know is that I don’t have a comic store locally so I get my comics from the closest city which is two hours away, so I get them shipped up once a month if I’m lucky. This way things would be way better. I’d actually know what people are talking about when they are talking about it. Cool! lol
