It’s features such as these that continue to make Droid Comic Viewer the best and most popular comic and manga reader for Android.
Some of the changes included in version 1.3.7 are:
Introducing a new way to read comics on Android…with ACV 2 formatted comics!
Robot 13 #1 by Thomas Hall and Daniel Bradford is now available on the Android Market, and marks the very first Android comic with ACV 2 formatting which offers additional transition effects and frame-by-frame animation. Robot Comics is proud to bring this new comic reading experience to Android, designed to work on all Android devices: from Motorola Droid and Google Nexus One to HTC Dream and HTC Tattoo, including tablets like Archos 5 IT.
Robot 13 was a natural choice to debut this new kind of Android comic: with its dynamic page layouts, atmospheric story, brisk-pace, and action-packed sequences. Readers will experience a wide range of animation and vibration effects when reading Robot 13, and enjoy the most immersive mobile comics reading experience ever offered on Android.
Robot 13#1 debuted on the market to a unanimous 5-star rating and raves from readers. Issue #1 is free, issue #2 will be released for Android on May 12th and cost $0.99 US.
In 1939, something was pulled up from the ocean depths off the coast of Spain; what it was and where it originated from were a mystery to the fishermen who found it, but all the surviving members of that crew agree on one thing: whatever it was, it saved their lives. Robot 13 tells the odyssey of the hero who awoke from the ocean floor that day as it looks for answers to who he really is… A comic by Thomas Hall with art by Daniel Bradford.
Robot 13 is also available for iPhone and iPod touch. The app is free and includes issue #1. Further issues are priced at $0.99 US.
With the announcement of the iPad came iBooks, an eReader and eBook store application for the iPad. The iBooks app uses the ePub format and will have categories ranging from “Comics & Graphic Novels” to “Cookbooks”, and possibly adult content, now forbidden in the App Store.
Yet nothing has been said about iBooks’ availability on the iPhone & iPod Touch. A sign that iBooks won’t be available for these devices, or that Apple is waiting for the right time? What do you think?

Last month, Robot Comics published the final part of the four-issue mobile comic, BEAR BEATER BUNYAN by writer Josh Hechinger (The Grave Doug Freshley) and artist Jorge F. Muñoz.
Definitely one of the freshest, most inner-child-wild mobile comics we’ve yet published, Robot Comics decided to celebrate the series’ big wrap-up by interviewing the creators on the making of the series, it’s move to mobile, the sudden shift in title, and more.
ROBOT COMICS: So let’s start with revealing where the inspiration for Bear Beater Bunyan came from. Was this a collaborative creation in concept between the both of you, or originally just your brainchild alone, Josh? Did the concept change once Jorge came aboard?
