The heading for DC Comics's "SDCC Sampler" (available as a free download on the DC Comics App) reads:
Missing out on the big convention this week? DC Comics doesn't want to leave you out of the fun, so for one week only, we're letting you download some of our hottest giveaways!
The result is a whopping 241-page monster of a free download, consisting of the following "What's Next?" 1st-Issue editions:
- Batman & Robin #1
- Flash Rebirth #1
- Action Comics #858
- Human Target #1
- Scalped #1
- Jack of Fables #1
- Hellblazer #1
- The Authority #1
- Astro City #1
On the good side, this is a pretty sweet collection to read on your iPad. On the bad side, the pages are not done in Guided View or one of the other panel-by-panel technologies, so reading it on the iPhone or iPod Touch is going to be a little bit unwieldy -- though of course you can tap parts of the page to enlarge the image.
It's interesting to note that out of the 9 titles offered here, only three feature the "DC Universe" proper. Was this strategically done to attract more of a mass audience on the iPhone/iPad?
