DC Comics Goes Digital


DC Comics is partnering with comiXology and PlayStation Network for two separate digital comics distribution deals launching today. In addition, a DC Comics App for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch is available allowing consumers an easy way to access DC Comics' content.

Both the comiXology and the PlayStation Network Digital Comics launch offerings will include classic titles from DC Comics, Vertigo and WildStorm. Both programs will share a tiered pricing format, with digital comics priced from $.99 to $2.99 per issue. Several comics will be available for free at launch, including the first installment of the ZUDA series Bayou and select stories from Batman: Black & White.

To further promote today's announcement, DC Comics is offering a free 10-page preview of the 700th issue of Superman available through both platforms.
