Comics and iPad digital expansion
These iPad-optimized versions of Panelfly, IDW and ComiXology should all be available in the iTunes App Store right when first Wi-Fi iPad hits in late March. Look for a huge expansion in digital comics withiPad. We saw a similar expansion with the iPhone comic apps so I would expect even more titles and sales with the iPad apps.
Print comic fans shouldn’t dry doom and gloom for the print medium as IDW digital sales in 2009 were exponential and flowed onto their print volume expanding to the best level ever.
The power of the comic book marches on!
