Discourse Chronicle

Launching early April, GoComics Books will include three new titles joining the already impressive GoComics line. Slated for release in the early Spring of 2006 is an eclectic blend of features that appeal to dedicated comic book readers and new fans alike. Titles include the new “cosmic” superhero comic GØDLAND, the geek and gamer strip PvP, and the too hip, too weird, Too Much Coffee Man. Bundled into one monthly subscription package, all stories are published in an anthology format with new pages for each title added every day.

GoComics Books presents comics in a panel-by-panel format for quick viewing and a simple interface that offers a great user experience. GoComics has optimized the original comics for the mobile screen, subtly adjusting and refining layouts and improving legibility and readability. This process has paid off, giving an essential vibrancy to this new comics format.

[I notice that our culture is favoring increasingly smaller technology, such as the iPod Nano or Motorola’s new Slvr phone, but why? Is it a reflection of our obsession to overcome an obesity epidemic or do we like straining our vision seeing details in our shows that a normal television easily reveals? I said it before and I will say it again: If I don’t want to watch Smallville on a 3″ screen, then what makes you think I will read it on a 1″ screen? BK]
