Digital Comics Store Update (18th March 2010)

Another Thursday, another batch of Digital Comics. But before I go in to the details I want to share some new publisher news. I’m very pleased to announce that Markosia Enterprises have joined the Digital Comics family and will be releasing their content on the store very soon.

‘These are exciting times for us,’ says publisher Harry Markos, ‘there is no denying that the digital comic is here to stay and it will have a major say over the next year or two. We are delighted to be partnering with Sony in this venture and from what I have seen so far; this is very much an exciting step forward. The graphics look amazing on PSP, crystal clear and surprisingly user-friendly thanks to the AutoFlow feature.’

Markosia bring our publisher tally up to 12. We’ll be announcing more publishers over the coming weeks.

Okay, so on to this week’s highlights:

IDW and EA have teamed up to bring you the Dragon Age comic book series. Written by the acclaimed Ender’s Game novelist Orson Scott Card, the comic is in the store ahead of its release in the shops.

From IDW we also see the last of Transformers: All Hail Megatron and the final episode of Locke & Key: Head Games. Don’t worry though, Locke & Key Crown of Shadows starts next week and comes with a lot of excellent audio commentary.

Marvel release 5 more issues of vintage X-Men (1963) and from Titan we have Shaun the Sheep #4.

You may have noticed that we changed the store structure a little last week. We have introduced two new categories “Staff Picks” where we highlight some of our favourite comics (zombie themed at the moment) and “Featured Hero” where we collect various series based around a particular character. Give us a shout if you wish to see anything specific.

That’s enough rambling from me here’s the complete list:
