PSP Comics: But Wait, There’s More!

"Soon with audio!"

The PSP Comic Reader is now in full force. Its unique Autoflow system allows for a much more dynamic reading of comics, with camera shakes and pans, which can grant the comic’s creators the ability to place emphasis on the right areas of a panel. It looks as though there is more in store for comic lovers…

IDW Publishing, one of the major publishers of comics for the PSP Comic Reader, tweeted the following:

“Editing more audio tracks from @Templesmith for Wormwood on the PSP.”

So it appears we can expect to see audio tracks featured in comics in the near future. This brings digital comics into a new realm, perhaps making them even more engrossing in the process. How do you feel about this possibility? Let us know in the comments.

    Essentially we’re getting motion comics. Similar to (but not exactly like) what you saw in Infamous and other such games which use a comic style story telling. It’s pretty cool, but it all depends on method, not theory.

    That being said I’m waiting patiently for an infamous comic. When are we getting it?

    This could get me to buy them…I’m not much of a comic reader but loved the Uncharted motion comics.

    The free US Transformer digital comic I must say is awesome. Not just because it’s free but because it just looks so darn good with there every now and then movements to enhance the experience. If they had like some sound effects for such events would be darn near a cartoon. The only difference between this format and the motion comics that you’ll have to read boys and girls and the scenes don’t fade and transitions in that fashion. But I’ll be check back for New titles and hoping for old first editions to be added. There’s now mention of that being an option but a first edition Spiderman thrown in there for alittle extra will be on my must buy list.

    Maybe audio books next??? Bible, Quran etc. Or even school textbooks for small media. Then the kids could save their backs. Aww but Sony has the eReader for electronic books.

    But yeah audio for comics would make them more like the Uncharted Eye of Indra motion comics. Competition is good for the consumer?

    Choices Choices Choices…
