The Digital Comics Reader on the PlayStation Portable is set to launch mid-December, bringing everything from the latest Spiderman comic to everyone’s favorite graphic novels to the handheld. To celebrate the upcoming release of the service, PlayStation LifeStyle travelled to to the Sony London Studio’s headquarters and interviewed Pete Stott, designer of Sony Digital Comics, to talk about the Reader, its features and its future plans for the PS3.

    great interview! this would be a great service for PS3 as well, I hope they do go that route.

    All I want to know is if I can get Fables on my PSP.

  3. agreed Ryan, that would be awesome

  4. @DGR8Mc187: Unfortunately, I doubt that Fables will reach the service, at least not any time soon. That’s because it’s published by DC who are totally against digital distribution, and so are not with the service

    Great interview. I really enjoying the free comics sure there not the best comics but this feature is awesome. Very curious to see what the pricing will be like.

  6. I can’t believe how much this has made me want to start reading comics again. I haven’t purchased a comic book since Marvel Secret Wars. Just reading the 4 on my PSP has me worried I’m going to start emptying my pocket book for digital comics. DC will jump on the bandwagon soon enough. This is going to be big. The only people that may cry about it are collectors, since it will be tough to get rare books.

    does anyone know how to delete the comics? These comics take memory & l can’t seem to find a delete button for the comic

  8. @wtGp: As the service is still getting ready, this is one of its minor drawbacks, according to Stott’s twitter: “We will be updating the app with in-app deletion.” So hopefully soon you can free up some space
