iPhone News: iVerse Comic Book Reader for iPhone and iPod Touch

August 25th, 2008 • Related • Filed Under

iPhone comic fans have another app to watch out for: iVerse Comic Book Reader for iPhone and iPod Touch.

Take a look at the video demo below. None of the features look anything NEARLY as cool as the iPhone ComicReader app (now called Infurious) featured in the previous post, but maybe it’s too early to tell.

Looks like the competition is heating up! Let’s watch Clickwheel, ComicReader (Infurious Comics) and iVerse go head to head in the battle for best iPhone comic book reader! This is the best scenario for iPhone users because it will force these developers to aim for the best or they’ll die on the vine.

More info available at http://www.iversecomics.com/

Thanks to dean at http://www.touchtip.com/ for the tip!

      There’s a new app called ComicZeal that looks nice. For a second I thought it would be a cbr/cbz reader, but alas, not so much. Looks like it’s just for downloading free Golden Age comics from their website. Anybody tried it?

        Hey Maddux…thanks for the tip! I just downloaded ComicZeal and it is a winner! The comic files download fast, and they are a very good resolution. The images open quickly and they pinch and zoom very fasy, with a very smooth response. I have emailed the developer to find out how to create iPhone comics to work with their application.
