I already own the main books so I don't feel too bad about obtaining scans of a few I'd never have gotten round to finding.

He was shot after the Civil War and was believed dead till now (since there was a corpose an autopsy and everything, even a state funeral). Bucky/Winter Soldier took up the mantle but now we've found that Cap is just unstuck in time like in Slaughterhouse 5 or to quote more recent sources Lost's Desmond and should be back most likely. That bit of the story is ongoing.

"Ooooh oooh, let's take a giant step with Marvel-comics and kill of one of our oldest heroes and have another unmask himself"
Yeah that's great when you later bring back the dead guy and have the reality altered for the other one so that no-one remembers his identity.

Characters won't stay dead if there's no actor to play them. Sure people may dislike Final Crisis but when it went meta and supes said the pray for a resurrection line - well that about sums up the modern age. At least Bruce Wayne's not technically dead I guess.
As for Spider-man, it's pretty much because the Editors wanted spider-man to be like when he was a teen. The marriage breaking bit sucks but it seems like they're working towards erasing the erasure.
@Derangel: I doubt if Bruce will be back by the end of Blackest Night, probably after some time-travelling or alternate reality hunting since he's at the time Anthro lived and died.

Whats with kids today and sticking electronic devices in their pockets, in my day all we had was lint and if we were lucky our hands

@Bound: "I'd sooner see them on the Sony reader or even the Kindle"
Why? What makes either of those a better platform for reading comics than the iPhone?
08/18/09
But then, those devices aren't in color.
PErsonally, I think this will live or die based on price, not on control or quality. If you have to pay just as much as a paper comic, most will go that route (what are they now, $3? $4?). If they're a buck, it will take off.

When you're looking at a battery life of weeks, its a plus. Also Not being obligated to a 720 dollar contract for 2 years of 3g data services is a plus. Kindle's 3g is covered in the initial cost of the device.
Also starring at a backlit device for hours can be a pain.

As Matthew Weflen pointed out a few comics above here, the readers can't display in color, which is absolutely essential to these comics the way they are published now. I don't think digital ink would make up for reducing a comic intended to be seen in full color to black and white.

And the type of person this would appeal the most to is the type of person who'd already choose to just use CDisplay and pirate comics anyway.
08/18/09
If it keeps the industry going, is it really a bad thing?
As for the second point...if it does appeal to people who pirate and gets them to pay for a legal version instead of downloading for free, that is, unarguably, a good thing.

I just don't understand how you could complain about this :/

I think people who love the medium will support it in whatever form it appears in. I mean we're not supporting comic books for its paper but for its content.

This would be AMAZING on my HDTV at home. I'd be all over this if it were available on the PS3. As it stands on the PSP, I honestly don't see this being very successful.

Right now: "I need to check my account balance to see if I can afford a PSP."
Hundreds of comics at my fingertips. Too much of a geek to not have to throw down for this.

The screen is too small to try to show a full page at a time. Break the pages into panels that are resized to tfit teh screen.

the trailer says there is a autoflow system, watch it. it zooms in on each frame like some fancy flash program automatically

The PC app tried to retain the magazine page feel. I don't think they can try that on the PSP given the screen size.

So no, this is not a nipple slippage. It's an idle animation (she's a whore seductively playing her hands over her body), coupled with a poorly-timed screen grab.
Ignore it and move on. Better yet, ignore it and buy this fucking game, because The Witcher was fantastic.

God help us all.
(Sidenote: I recall reading of atrocious loading times for that game, on here, but the skyglow in that last picture makes me think it might be worth it. What is that? Specular lighting? Some sort of ___glow effect?)
