Is there a way we can look at the entire comic, vs just the preview graphics, on the PC? I don’t have any of those specific portable devices (I have a blackberry storm), but I’d still love to check out the comics.

Dear Sean,

Thank you for your feeback. We’re about to launch a new comic viewer for iPhone that should solve this issue. In the meantine, we suggest using bottom corner taps for navigation if swiping is giving you trouble.

We won’t be in SDCC this year.

Downloaded all of these for my iPhone, and I’m working my way through them…

I am a little annoyed with the reader software; I figured out that I navigate pages by “swiping”, but that fails the majority of the time; I consistently need to “swipe” right-to-left two or three times before I manage to turn the page. There’s no user feedback to indicate why this is failing (waiting for content to download?). I’d also like to see the ability to just “tap” the side of the screen to paginate, like in Stanza or the Kindle app. Still, pretty good for v1.

Will you have a presence at San Diego Comic Con?
