Droid Comic Viewer, the leading Android comic and manga reader by Robot Comic, broke the 250,000 Android Market downloads mark this week.

Unlike other landmark apps of the Android Market, Droid Comic Viewer has not been featured by Google yet. Its growing success comes from the strong support of its community, who actively contributes to make it the best comic reader for Android.

Droid Comic Viewer is the de facto comics and platform for Android devices worldwide. It has been localized to 7 languages and uses the ACV open format, which allows creators to adapt their comics for mobiles.

With an upcoming version that includes major feature, performance and usability upgrades, as well as more localizations, Droid Comic Viewer is on its way to become an essential app not only for comic fans, but also for all Android users. Join us as we introduce to a brand new audience the joy of reading comics!

In Maps & Legends won the Zuda Comics competition in November 2009, but its online serialization was interrupted with the close of the Zuda website.   Now creators Michael Jasper and Niki Smith have teamed with Robot Comics to release an exclusive Android edition.

In Maps & Legends is available now both as a free 8-page preview and $0.99 full-length Issue #1

Synopsis

Kaitlin Grayson considers herself just an artist until she gets recruited by a strange man named Bartamus, who shows up at her place in the middle of the night and demands she use her skills to save his dying world. Soon Kait gets caught between two realities, and if Bartamus’ world falls, Earth is next — along with untold others.

In Maps & Legends is a world-shattering fantasy with hints of sci-fi and steampunk, written by novelist Michael Jasper and illustrated by Niki Smith.
