Sounds cool. I’ll certainly check this out.
I am curious how much these digital comics will cost, but I will be getting this app and see how it works.
I’d like to see these programs take the content I have already bought and add those into these apps. For IDW I already own several comic apps from them, and I would love it if I could import those titles into this app to free up screenspace.
