If you’re a comic book junkie and an iPhone or iPad owner, you’ll be happy to know that Marvel has announced that they will be bringing more than 80 of its graphic novels to Apple’s iBookstore. This means that you finally get to read comic book issues on iOS devices such as the iPhone 4S and the iPad 2.
The partnership between the comic giant and the Cupertino firm will bring longer versions of Marvel’s graphic novels, which offers much better reading compared to the reading experience offered by the Marvel iPad app.
The iBookstore will soon offer popular Marvel titles, which include the X-Men, Captain America, the Avengers, and of course the Amazing Spider-Man. Marvel also promises that they will add more titles to Apple’s iBookstore every week. As a teaser, Marvel will be releasing the first full issue of New Avengers Vol 1: Breakout. The rest will soon follow.
Is this a surprising move by Marvel? Not really. Since all forms of media are going digital, it makes sense for Marvel to do the same. Sadly, the number of people who go out and buy physical copies of our favorite superheroes is dwindling. It’s either Marvel goes digital, or Marvel comic books cease to exist.
