Imagine if you will, dear comic book reader with an iPhone, an online store specifically tailored to your specific love of Transformers. You wouldn’t have to deal with anything else cluttering up the new release section, or even anything Transformers-related in your line of sight. The As to the comics themselves, the scans look like high quality PDFs. Easy to zoom in and out of, and turning pages is performed easily by swiping your finger, or dragging a bar to jump to a page further down the comic. They look very good, but there’s nothing here that would surprise or impress. I suspect reading this app on the larger iPad would be a bit more fulfilling.
Still, a bookshelf-specific app for particular niche magazines or comics seems like a great idea and it’s executed with style to spare in the Transformers Comics app. If you’re a fan of Transformers and new app technology, this seems like an easy download. Although the selection of comics at this point is limited to four specific series; All Hail Megatron, Alliance, Animated and Spotlight, there is great potential for growth.
