Comic Book Apps for Phones

[Chuck Armstrong]

I know there are some folks using their iPads and IPhones for comics but I'm using a android phone so I figured I'd post some apps I found and see if anyone has any of their own to post unless I'm the only android phone person.....

The best one I've found so far has been Vintage Comics Droid http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/comics/vintage-comic-droid_czln.html

Looks somewhat like the Comic Zeal app for the IPhone

Has a decent selection of golden age books like Terry and the Pirates, Black Terror, Blue Beetle etc. The covers and pages are all scanned in so they aren't exactly always mint looking but I've been enjoying them.

Another app I've been using is Tiny Comics

The app has 2-3 weeks worth of some of the upcoming comics and toys with pics. The app looks like it made have been made by tfaw.com to sell for their store. So far it is the only "upcoming" comics I've found that isn't just a text listing of Diamond releases. If anyone has a better please let me know.

The last app I'm using is Android Comics Viewer

If you go to their site you'll see they have several of their own comics they are putting out on the android market, some are free and some cost $0.99 each. Some have some great art and some are kinda iffy,  some have iffy writing but they do at least have several books so far so I can't fault them for not trying.

I have not seen any other comic books apps that have really encouraged me to download but I'm hopeful that CCL will be putting out an app soon to link back to my account there to help keep up with my collection. Anyways if anyone has any good ones or even you Apple users want to post some apps go for it.
