Robot Comics and The Eternal City are featured in a roundup of the mobile comics industry by CNN’s Cherise Fong. An excerpt:

Are comics made to be read on cell phones, Kindles and iPods the new pulp of pop culture?

While mobile manga has become increasingly popular and lucrative in Japan, in recent months start-ups have been mushrooming around the world to bring comics and graphic novels to both loyal fans and new audiences — all in the palm of your hand.

“I wanted to break all the barriers between comics and their potential readers,” said Hermes Pique, director of Robot Comics, a company that produces and publishes comics for mobile devices.

“In a world where 60.6 percent of the population has a mobile, and where mobiles have evolved from phones to all-purpose gadgets, mobile comics seemed the best way to start.”

Apple’s App Store, a hotbed for mobile innovation, has seen an increase in applications dedicated to reading comics, many of which are also available for other mobile platforms.
