The big news this week is obviously Sony's offering of digital comic bundles for the PSP. We'll cover that in more detail in a separate post, but let's look at some other digital news and views from the last few days...
"A digital trend is shaking up comic book culture" - I consider mainstream news pieces like this one from the Lexington Herald -- which is basically a reprint of the original LA Times article --to be more significant by the very fact that they exist than in regards to their content. There has been a rash of these articles on mainstream news sites since SDCC.
"Heresay Evidence RE: Digital Comics" - Emily Brown gives an overview of what she's heard are the best device and platform for digital comics.
Digital Comics Reviews: Transformers #7-8 - Brandon Thomas continues his series "Digital Comics...Reviewed!" over at Fiction House.
Comic Con Recaps On Digital Comics Panels - I looked very much forward to the blog The Uncertain Future Of The Printed Word's coverage of the SDCC digital panels, and I was not disappointed. Part 1 focuses on the Digital Comics and You panel, which was hosted by Ben Templesmith. Important to note: Templesmith claimed that his prequel motion comic to the game Dead Space had over one million downloads.
CrossGen: Digital Comics Pioneer - Comic Nexus's A Skitch In Time looks back at CrossGen in light of the news that Marvel will be probably handling the defunct company's comics in somde capacity. Important to note: CrossGen was apparently an early pioneer in the digital comics arena:
"CrossGen quickly grew to be a power in the industry, even going so far as to pioneer new formats, such as Comics on the Web and their “Digital Comics” which worked via DVD players, presenting comic stories with voiceovers and animations."
Studio Foglio To Bring "Girl Genius" To iPad - And finally, Studio Foglio has inked an impressive deal to bring their popular "Girl Genius" comic to prose novels, audiobooks, and an eventual iPad offering. link
Been busy the last few days, but am hoping to get some more content up on the blog through the weekend! Thanks for reading!
