iVerse iPhone comics
A new application in development looks to bring the world of comics to the iPhone. iVerse has been working on a comic-reading app, which should let users browse though a list of titles and purchase editions for immediate reading. All of the comics will be specifically-formatted for the iPhone screen, allowing users to enjoy comics without zooming or scrolling; the only necessary action will be flicking, which will move from one panel to the next.
iVerse looks to have the app out later this year, but has not yet released any definite timeframe. Comics will be sold through the App Store and generally cost as little as $0.99, though some may be released for free. iVerse is currently working with various industry professionals and studios to build a library of debut titles.
