IDW Comics Debut on the iPad
Premier publisher at the forefront of digital distribution. Store front apps available today for IDW Comics, TRANSFORMERS, G.I. JOE and Star Trek!
San Diego, CA (April 3, 2010) – IDW Publishing is proud to announce that the hugely anticipated Apple
iPad will feature four IDW comics applications today at launch. Taking
full advantage of the iPad’s full –screen, full-color capabilities,
each IDW store front will offer the next level of reading experience to
fans. The free IDW iPad comic shop apps each include a selection of
comics with the initial download, and offer more comics as in-app
purchases. Fans can choose apps for their favorite brands, like Star
Trek, G.I. JOE and TRANSFORMERS, or download the IDW Comics app for
access to all the company’s iPad releases.
Each store front
app will offer readers the highest quality viewing experience, with a
full-page display that showcases the eye-catching art and vivid
stories. IDW has developed several new features to enhance the comics
and take full advantage of the iPad’s capabilities.
“The iPad
is a wonderful format for comics, as the screen size is close enough to
the print size that readers can view the full page,” said IDW Director
of ePublishing, Jeff Webber. “Our iPad apps are also compatible with
our iPhone and iPod touch
apps. So you can purchase a comic shop apps on one device, and read it
on another. The apps will automatically identify which one you are
using, and adjust to offer the best reading experience.”

was the first comics publisher to launch its own "in app purchase"
storefronts for the iPhone and iPod touch with not one, but four new
comic shop applications. For fans of G.I. JOE, TRANSFORMERS and Star
Trek, IDW has introduced new comic applications that offer full
collections all in one app. The company also introduced the IDW Comics
app, which collects the entire digital catalog. All IDW store front
apps are powered by iVerse (http://www.iversecomics.com/).
