IDW's "True Blood" Available In Both Print And Digital Editions


Will more True Blood fans be picking up the first issue of the new comic via print or digital download?

IDW is offering True Blood #1 as both a print comic and as a digital download through the Apple App Store and the Sony Digital Comics store.

If you want to catch the comic via digital download, it will cost you $2.99 -- one dollar less than the $3.99 price tag of the print edition.

Will a price tag that is higher than usual for digital comics, plus no free #1, negatively impact digital sales of the True Blood series? Gauging by the success of Dark Horse TV/Movie comics as paid apps, plus True Blood's current popularity, I think it has a good chance. However, I think it will do much better with the mass-market audience than hardcore comic book fans.
