So…yeah…we screwed up. Wayne, Paul, and Tim recorded an episode of Funnybooks but, without Aron’s guidance…well, someone forgot to hit record. Either that or upgrading our Skype screwed something up. Or Gremlins did something. More than likely it was Gremlins. In chicken costumes.
Still, because we’re dedicated podcasting professionals (Well, Tim and Paul are anyway), we gave it another go, recording an instant classic of an episode! Tim and Paul rock this joint, talking about such interesting crap as…

Join Aron, Paul, Wayne, and Tim as we crank out an old school epic length podcast!

There has been a lot of talk, a lot of hype ever since the iPad was announced. How it would be a revolution, a game changer.
OK, you have your shiny new “magical” device, you’ve played with all the preloaded apps, surfed the web, watched a movie, experienced a sense of childlike wonder, blah blah. How does it do as a reader for comics?
In a word- awesome. I’ll to say up front that I have NOT been a regular reader of comics for a long time. I’ve used the existing apps for the iPhone and while they are great at what they do, I’ve never been really comfortable reading for any extended time on the small screen of a phone. The size of the iPad makes reading for extended time a wholly different matter. Read the rest of this entry »
Iverse Media. Comics. Anywhere.
I’ve tried a lot of comic readers for iPhone and have been unhappy with what I’ve seen. Largely, my dissatisfaction with those apps grows from a poorly imagined transition from print comic to PDA. Much of what I’ve seen fails to consider the differences in medium and the specifics challenges of a digital handheld device. That is until iVerse Media came along with its comic reader application.
Instead of scanning entire pages and having the reader zoom in and zoom out, iVerse Media scans each panel rendering huge on the handheld detailed action. Comics in iVerse, then, read very much like a comic strip. I love it!
Further, the greater attention to panel detail provides a much different experience than the print page. I find that with comics I have already read in the floppies, I am discerning more detail and catching things I didn’t see the first time in the iVerse application.
I first started using the iVerse app back in November of last year shortly before I met iVerse Media founder and cheerleader, Michael Murphey, at Wizard World Texas. I spoke to Michael recently about his application and the future of digital comics… Read the rest of this entry »
