That’s right little ones, soon you will be able to get your comics on the go, as Marvel is apparently toying with the possibility of making their line of digital comics available for delivery to your cell phone.
According to a recent post on Gizmodo, this is the new mad-cool app for your phone.
Marvel Comics wants to port their comics to mobile phones. Seems like a perfect thing to read while you’re supposed to be paying attention to what’s going on around you, but sure how you’re going to get through full page spreads while maintaining text readability on 3-inch screens.
Interestingly enough, the fellow that posted this doesn’t feel that “$5-$10 a month” to subscribe to Marvel’s online digital comics “isn’t something to complain about.” only, there seems to be some dissension on that particular point. Briefly:
why can’t I take smaller bites at the apple? Your monthly subscription model looks fine, it’s one I’ve tried and liked on various music services, but you know what? Sometimes I just want a song, and sometimes I just want a comic. Think about it: Do you think everyone wants to take a $10 bite right out of the gate? Or that everyone wants a full-blown subscription plan, paying yet another monthly fee for yet another service? … Let me access the single issues I want for a quarter or 50 cents. Let Joe High Schooler check out that comic his friend told him about without having to sign up for a full blown plan. Let people get comfortable with paying for digital comics in small, easily-digestible doses.
There’s more, but you can use the link and see for yourself. Personally, while there are way-cool sghts for digital comics on the Web, me personally, I’m still patched into the dead tree versions.
