Graphicly Premieres Facebook Comics App

Digital Comics publisher Graphicly has launched a Facebook application that allows comics publishers to embed their stable of comics onto their own pages, while getting increased exposure from Facebook page owners who opt to implement the feature.

From the beginning, Graphicly has distinguished themselves from the other digital comics publishers like Comixology by focusing on the idea of integrating social networking with the reading experience, and this is a major step in that direction.

The Graphicly on Facebook platform is very much in its infancy, but it has the potential to help publishers of all sizes spread their work virally across Facebook, while allowing fan page owners to showcase dynamic comics content. I'm testing the app right now; I'm currently featuring Graphicly on the Comics Cavern and Robot Mutant Facebook pages. please feel free to check them out and let me know what you think.

Graphic.ly - New Platform, New Comics

Digital comics publisher Graphic.ly - one company out of many leading the digital comics revolution, has made some bold moves in this, SDCC season, the time one wants to make such moves.

First off, they finally have an iPad app!  It is, in my opinion, pretty damn sweet.  But you know, you don't have to take my word for it, it's free and all so you can just grab it here and if you don't like it - nothing ventured, nothing lost.

Not sure I got that phrasing 100% right,but you get the idea.

They've got a whole bunch of new books added to their library, as well.  Here are the latest titles added to Graphic.ly's virtual inventory:

Archie

Betty #138, #139

Betty and Veronica #221

Bloodfire Studios

Intergalatic #1-3

Kindergoth #1-4

BOOM! Studios

Challenger Deep #1

Cover Girl #1-5

Fall of Cthulhu #1, 2

Galveston #1-4

Hawks of Outremer #1

Hunter's Moon #3-5

Irredeemable #14

Poe #1-2

Unthinkable #5

Kill Audio #1-6

Cold Space #2

Incorruptible #7

Swordsmith Assassin #1, 2

Lead Pipe

Contropussy #1

Japanese School Girls in Love

Marvel (iPhone/iPad only)

Avengers #56-72

The Amazing Spider-Man #2-25 (minus #17)

Captain America #1-10

Invincible Iron Man #1-2

Iron Man V4 #2-6

Paper Street Comics:

Pencilneck #1

Careful #1

Don't know why Amazing Spider-Man No. 17 was excluded, but I'm guessing it's either:

a) Fear of audience Osborn burnout

b) Steve Ditko's having a crazypants Ayn Rand objectivist fit; or

c) Something to do with weird Human Torch licensing drama. That, after all, is how we ended up with that Fantastic Four cartoon with that metallic abomination H.E.R.B.I.E. taking Johnny's place in the group way back in the mesozoic era of Marvel animation.

I honestly have no idea, but I'm going with b), just 'cause Ditko is known for two things: his creative genius and his crazy-pants freakouts.  In any case, kudos to Graphic.ly, and Viva La Digital Comics Revolución!
