PSP Comics have released their latest list of comics in the PSP store:

PSP-owning LARP fans can now get their fix of Dungeons & Dragons with a new series based on the hugely-popular role playing game. Written by Transformers screenwriter John Rogers and novelist Alex Irvine, issue #0 is a special edition featuring two stories to introduce you to the upcoming D&D worlds. Acclaimed Marvel alumni Andrea Di Vito (Annihilation 2006) and Peter Bergting provide the outstanding art.

Yet more bloodthirsty vampire action hits the Digital Comicsstore this week with Zuda’s Blood Hunter. In a dark future, vampires rule the world, the life of the last human on earth – a baby girl – rests in the hands of a vampire sworn to kill her kind. Issue #1 is a free download.

Marvel’s 1952-vintage Journey Into Mystery – the series that introduced the Mighty Thor to a cowering world – continues its run with issues #87-#90, lovingly created by the Lee/Kirby dream team.

Following on from last month’s release of Silent Hill: Dying Inside, Among the Damned is another tale of bone-chilling horror guaranteed to thrill fans of the video game. Written by best-selling author Scott Ciencin and featuring art by Shaun Thomas, Silent Hill: Among the Damned is a special one-shot edition that will have you sleeping with the lights on. Be afraid.

Hot on the heels of the hit Dreamworks movie Shrek Forever After comes Ape Entertainment’s Shrek. Take a sneak peek at the nefarious new villain Rumpelstiltskin as he tries time and time again to get the best of Shrek and the gang.

The popular Raising Amy, Kill Shakespeare and The Murder of King Tut return with new issues this week, along with more Superman/Batman, Jurassic Park and Transformers for that sprinkling of box-office gold dust.

    The Image Comics app has been available for about a week now, with titles such as Fell, BattlePope and Invincible available. Here is the official blurb from Image:

    ON TOP OF THE WORLD

    Top Cow and Shadowline join forces with Image Comics to offer the best in digital comics

    The Image Comics app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch offers comics fans unprecedented access to the best comics on the market, and Top Cow and Shadowline have joined forces with Image Comics to make sure the Image digital catalog is unsurpassed.

    Included in the Image Comics digital catalog, you’ll find the biggest titles from Top Cow and Shadowline. Whether you’re looking for WITCHBLADE, THE DARKNESS, MAGDALENA, ARTIFACTS, BOMB QUEEN, MORNING GLORIES, or Shadowline’s titles for children, you’ll be able to get most Top Cow and Shadowline titles from comiXology. A few first issues are free, and regular issues are typically priced for $1.99.

    “comiXology has quickly proven to be the leader in the digital comic space,” says Top Cow President Matt Hawkins. “It makes sense for Top Cow to be part of the Image app, so when Eric Stephenson suggested it, we agreed and folded our own efforts under the overall banner.”

    Shadowline Publisher Jim Valentino adds, “comiXology is leading the way in finding a new audience for comics with digital presentation, and I’m proud to have Shadowline’s catalog hosted by them.”

    The Image Comics app is now available for free download from the iTunes App Store and features titles from Top Cow, Shadowline, Todd McFarlane Productions, Skybound, and Image Comics. In addition to individual issues for ongoing series, which are priced for $1.99, the app also provides issues of several popular Image titles, sneak peeks of upcoming titles, and other exclusive content for free.

    Its great to see another publisher getting on board – the more content the better!

    iPad: Thomas Wogan is Dead

    British Comics blog DownTheTubes have announced that UK based publisher Tabella Publishing have released their first iPad comic – Thomas Wogan is Dead.

    Thomas Wogan is not really the sort of character you’d expect anything odd to happen to, but this strange waiting room proves to be like something out of The Twilight Zone, with the various talking creatures revealing their life stories before demanding to know Wogan’s, which isn’t exactly anything that exciting, even when he describes the best day of his life, when he skived off work and went to Morecambe. Wogan’s humdrum existence working at Perriman Plastics, cooking processed snacks, television and admiring Delia Smith with a near pathological, e-stalker intensity (he spends some of his spare time ‘updating’ her Wikipedia with all manner of strange additions, for example) hardly seems to be the stuff of legend.

    This is where digital publishing can come into the front for the smaller publisher, wanting to get their name out there and not being drowned out by the larger publishers and bigger names in the local comic shops around the world. The start ups are minimal, with hardly any distribution costs.

    • Buy Thomas Wogan is Dead for the iPad

    • Thomas Wogan is Dead is still available in print from Tabella Publishing for £5.99: more details here.
