I'm under the impression that, rather than an app that allows you to read and manage a library of downloadable comics, each comic is going to be it's own "app" that works only on the iPhone or iPod Touch.
Not having an iPhone or iPod Touch, I'm not sure that this is what people are looking for...
... and from:Lying In The Gutters
KILLER APP
“2000AD” artist PJ Holden demonstrates how his and writer Al Ewing's "Murderdrome" comic works on an iPhone or iTouch.
Designed by PJ and coded by Phil Orr, the comic was written and drawn to fit iPod dimensions and definitions. No more zooming in to read text! It also has a feature allowing the reader to turn off the text, remove colours, even see the original pencils.
The comic was intended to be distributed through the Apple App Store, providing the creators with 70% of the revenue. Holden and Orr have even set up a company to facilitate other creators' works, for a 10% fee, Infurious Comics.
A remarkable plan.
Slightly scuppered by Apple telling the creators that "Murderdrome cannot be posted to the App Store because it contains content that does not comply with Community Standards" and "Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple's reasonable judgement may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users."
What do you reckon? Especially since you need to have a credit card to download content. And, say, viewers are able to download the "300" movie.
Maybe it would be better to get the comics application available to download separately - then provide product in the same vein as, say, movies are provided, with age restrictions? Looks like Iverse Comics are stepping up.
Looks like Brian Kirsten is getting similar problems with Wowio.
