What the advent of the iPad a lot of magazine and newspaper publishers are pretty excited, they
feel that they’ll be able to generate some additional revenue people who will pay for the content
will cannot do the same thing with the comic book industry. What does the couple of this must
just do that, the first one is form Marbel and Marbel is one of the biggest comic book companies
in the world you probably familiar with titles like Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk and the X-
Men. It’s a free app to download and then after that they do have a free set of comic show you
can check out and then you can download additional one. So we’re going to go down and browse
the ones that I’ve downloaded already and you can do the cover scroll here and I’m going to
check out Spiderman and this is kind of cool because it displays the full comic right on the
screen with that nice large screen on the iPad it just like reading a comic book but in the brilliant
beautiful colors and just like a comic book I can simply scroll through here. And kind of a cool
feature is you can go panel by panel as well so by double clicking I can then just view the comic
kind of like that so brings up all those little individual panels kind of up into a larger size so it’s
make a little more entertaining to read but again if I want to go back to the full page layout I can
just basically double click.
So again they do such you off with a few free comics I guess to get you going in excited and then
you can download additional ones for a bit of money. Another comic book app that are came
across if you heard to got a digital comic book collection is comic zeal there is a few different
ones out in the market but kind of like this one separately inexpensive as well as I think it’s
around $8 for the app. To my collection here and this one allows you read a number of different
format including PDF and even the comic book format which I think is a dot CVR. And you can
see it brings up the comic right on the screen here and this one doesn’t have the same feature
where you can double click on the little panel I have to come up but you know if you want to you
do have the pension zoom feature so you can enlarge it with your fingers in a manual right here.
So when you’re ready to go to the next page you simply scroll and you’re good to go. Then two
apps Marbel comics, very sleek beautiful and you can download pay comics and also comic zeal
if you got in existing digital comic collection.
