Some interesting news for the comic world – as I’m sure a lot of you guys are aware, DC is wiping out a bunch of titles and relaunching them at issue #1 for what they have dubbed “The New 52″.  That’s right, 52 new issue #1 titles from DC, with more to be relaunched after the fact.  This is all part of a new strategy that also includes more focus on digital comics.  This means that, for around the same price as what you’d pay in the store, you’ll be able to get the digital copy downloaded to your digital device on ship date.  That’s pretty cool.  DC just launched their very own comiXology Android app to assure that all digital users get their comics.

Being a new Android user myself, I am always eager to try out all sorts of new apps, and an app that lets me read comics is awesome.  What’s even more awesome is that I don’t need a tablet to do it, I can read these comics all on my phone!  If you’re concerned about reading an entire comic page on a tiny phone screen, fear not, it goes panel by panel, and lets you rotate your phone accordingly so as to accommodate from the different panel sizes.  And for the really big panels, it will zoom to important areas first before letting you see the whole image.  It’s actually quite cinematic.  It also lets you zoom in on all the parts, in case you want to see things in greater detail!

If you have an Android product, I recommend this app highly.  There’s also a ton of free comics to pick from as well.  Don’t be shy!

Anyone using a Mac or Playstation product and wants to read DC comics will be in luck! No longer will you have to own real, PAPER copies, and risk paper cuts! NO! Now you can do everything digitally! This is definitely something good for the iPad. Here’s the full article if you’re curious.

DC Comics, publisher of Superman, Batman, Green Lantern and Fables, is partnering with comiXology and PlayStation®Network for two separate digital comics distribution deals launching today, Wednesday, June 23. In addition, a DC Comics App for the iPhone®, iPad® and iPod® Touch is available allowing consumers an easy way to access DC Comics’ content. The announcement was made jointly today by DC Entertainment and Warner Bros. Digital Distribution.

Could this be the beginning of web-exclusive-comics action figures from the Big Two? That would be kind of neat, actually.
