Good reader, in-app purchase highlight Iconology comic-reading app

The smell of fanboys is in the air in San Diego, and that can only mean one thing — it’s time for Comic-Con again. On Thursday, coinciding with the first day of the annual gathering of fans of genre comics, books, movies, TV shows, and even Internet musicals, Iconology has released its new $1 Comics by Comixology app for iPhone and iPod touch. The app isn’t just a comic reader, but a complete digital comic store, including in-app purchase for comics from twenty different comic publishers (though not giants DC and Marvel) and several individual comic writers.

Macworld user reviews IN DETAIL:

For Comics Fans

Nice app. Easy to use. Able to get free comics as well as paid. Looking forward to more selections though.


Great Execution Limited Library

This is a great application, very well thought with clean layouts and easy to use interface. This is one of the first apps to use the Iphone/Ipod 3.0 upgrade that allows "in app" purchases. Having purchased many comics through the app store separately this is nice to have the option to download and review comics within the app without having 20 icons spread all over your device. The updates have been slow and the titles are very limited but there are some gems to read. It's missing the 5 star rating with a limited selection for now.
