PSP Comic Service Launching With a Quarter-Ton of Titles

12/04/2009 Written by Paulmichael Contreras

...plus at least 496 more!

The PSP Comic reader is already available for downloading thanks to the latest firmware update. The service is not live yet, but it looks like when it does go live later this month comic fans will have plenty to choose from.

A recent post on the European PS.Blog site states that “We should have more than 500 comics on the store when we launch in mid December in UK, Ireland, US, South Africa, New Zealand & Australia.” Some of the publishers include:

2000AD – Featuring Judge Dredd, Durham Red…
Disney – Follow the adventures of Mickey Mouse, Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck….
IDW – Astro Boy, Transformers, Star Trek, Wormwood…
Insomnia – Burke & Hare, Cages, Cancer Town…
iVerse – Who bring us content from Ape Entertainment, Archie Comics, Dabel Brothers, Image & Red 5.
Marvel – Astonishing X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Amazing Spider-Man
Titan – Wallace & Gromit

For those wondering, by a quarter-ton we mean a US ton of 2,000. They will also be priced by the publisher, so if a favorite of yours is priced too high for your taste then take it up with them and not Sony!

I’m a Marvel fan for sure, but I see some things here that I never heard of that sound very interesting by their titles.

Wow, talk about underwhelming. I guess gamers like to read crappy comics if they think were going to buy these. I guess everyone that owns a PSP must be under the age of 12.

Everywhere….except Canada….again. Sony should just pull up stakes and leave Canada.
Even the PS Blog is filled with complaints from Canada for everything (contests, videos, comics, content, free games) but those complaints fall on deaf ears.
