DC Bringing Digital Comics To PSN
Catching up to friendly rival Marvel, DC announced today that it will be bringing its iconic comic properties to the PlayStation Network Digital Comic service. As of this morning, over 80 DC titles can be downloaded and viewed on any of the PSP iterations at prices between $0.99 and $2.99 per issue. Announced runs include comics from Batman: Hush, Green Lantern: Rebirth, Fables: Legends in Exiles and Planetary: All Over the World. As an extra treat, if you’ve been looking forward to the 700th issue of Superman, a 10-page preview is currently available.
“Outside of my work as a comic book creator and co-publisher, I'm an avid gamer,” weighed in iconic DC artist Jim Lee, who often takes on the role of ambassador between the comic and gaming industries. “Making our comics available through Sony's PlayStation Network digital comics offers a perfect opportunity for us to reach a new, different kind of reader.”
DC Comics publishes almost 1,000 issues a year between its various labels and properties, so we expect updating the PlayStation network with fresh content won’t be tough. You can browse the entire digital comic library here.
How many of you currently take advantage of Marvel’s downloadable service on your personal computer, PSP, or iPad? I’m all for increased access to quality comic content, and the dynamic Autoflow viewing system is impressive. That being said, I'll be the first to admit that giving up the slight euphoria of bagging and boarding my printed collection would be tough. How about you?
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
