Barnes & Noble's New Comic Apps For Nook Color

Comic BookTech by LiamK

Users of Barnes & Noble's Nook Color have some new graphic novel options available to them due to an update that set up access to an app store, according to Bleeding Cool.  

The update included the addition of an app store, so that you can now purchase and run apps in addition to reading e-books.And what are some of those apps? Why they just happen to be some of the most popular graphic novels provided exclusively through Graphicly!

Starting today, Nook Color owners can purchase and downloads apps for reading the following amazing graphic novels:

  • Mouse Guard: Fall 1152 – Archaia
  • Wanted – Top Cow/Image
  • Irredeemable – BOOM! Studios

We’ve worked with Barnes & Noble to specially craft these apps to be optimized for reading on the Nook Color, and I’ve got to say, they’re pretty sweet. The Nook Color is a great device (running on the Android platform from Google) and is super affordable at only $249.  So if you’re looking for a new way to read digital comics, you might want to give the Nook Color a try, especially now that it’s got Graphicly on it.

These three titles make an interesting lineup. No Marvel or DC titles mentioned so far. The only one of the three I haven't read is Irredeemable.  I have only begun to dabble in downloading a few comics to my phone. I am sure the experience is much better on a device like the Nook, but I can't shake the feeling that carrying such a thing around on a DC subway--which is really the only place I would be regularly presented with the downtime to devote to such a device unless I gave up on print books at home--would be like waving around a "Mug me" sign.
