Big news out of the San Diego Comic Con for Graphic.ly, who claimed that they will be the first to bring digital comics to every platform with a comics app for smartphones, desktops, PCs, and tablets. They also announced a slate of upcoming digital comics from Archaia, including Mouse Guard and Fraggle Rock, and exclusive content in their store from notable comic creators.
Graphic.ly said they are going to launch the most advanced app available on the iPad, giving readers the option to view full-screen or leverage iPad zoom features. They will also be making their app available to consumers using Windows Phone 7 devices.
"The Graphic.ly app is now available for iPhone, iPod Touch, Mac and Windows, including Windows 7, laptops, desktops and portables, and soon on the iPad. The company plans to extend the footprint of compatible devices and operating systems throughout the rest of the year."
On the content front, Graphic.ly will be offering:
- All of Archaia's titles through an exclusive partnership.
- A line of comics about fashion models turned into superheroes, in partnership with the fashion and beauty site Modelinia.
- Exclusive bonus content from their store from creators such as BOOM! Studios' Mark Waid and Heroes' Milo Ventimiglia. Graphic.ly likens the bonus content to the extras on a DVD.
Making headway into the digital realm outside of Apple products, Graphic.ly seems to have significantly upped the ante. But will other digital comics providers have similar announcements at SDCC?
