Comics (for iPad) Specs
| Type: | Personal |
It's easy for a company to rest on its laurels when it becomes the face of its industry, but Comixology, the premier digital comic book delivery service, keeps evolving. A recent update to Comics, the company's iOS app, added useful Smart Lists, long-desired recommendations, and, finally, Dark Horse Comics's excellent catalog. All in all, Comics continues its reign as the best iPad digital comic book app, despite one shortcoming brought about by Comixology's unflinching desire to keep all of its sweet nerd profits away from Apple.
What's New to Comics
The new Smart Lists aren't revolutionary, but they give you handy, at-a-glance information about your digital comics collection. They let you quickly track what you've been reading with the In Progress and Unread lists, show what you've bought with the Recently Purchased list, and offer a new way to maintain your Wish List by long-pressing a book to either remove it or check out book details.
