Since IN MAPS & LEGENDS launched as a digital comic, Mike and I have tried to help get the word out about what other comics are available for digital download onto your phone, tablet, ereader, or desktop. Each month we’ve highlighted a few titles, from mainstream comics to indie to manga, and we’ve decided to expand on that! We’ll list on which devices the titles are available, the creators, the price per issue, and anything else useful you may want to know before buying. Check out last month’s recommendations too.
We hope that these new spotlight posts will help you discover a few new favorite books each month.
Bone
Creators: Jeff Smith
Platforms: iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch), Android (tablets + phones), Web
Price: $1.99/issue
Currently Available: Issues 1-13
Release Schedule: Unknown
Description: Simply put, BONE is one of the classics of the comics format. The series starts with a clear sense of fun, but over the course of 55 issues it evolves into an epic tale, still managing to retain its all-ages charm. The series recently launched a digital version through Comixology, and the first issue is free, so be sure to take a look.
War of the Woods
Creator: Matthew Petz
Platforms: iOS (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch), Android (tablets + phones), Web
Price: $.99/chapter
Currently Available: Issues 1-5
Release Schedule: New issue every few months
Description: WAR OF THE WOODS is another series that got its start as part of DC Comics’ Zuda imprint, coming out a few months after IN MAPS & LEGENDS. Matthew Petz now releases new issues exclusively through Comixology, and season 1 is about to wrap up! Another all-ages tale, WAR OF THE WOODS is a classic alien invasion story, but told from the point of view of a group of North American forest animals.
