Warner Bros. Offers Digital Comic Books on iPhone
Warner
Bros. Digital Distribution is offering division’s first digital comic
book “Terminator Salvation” for the iPhone and iPod touch. Published by
IDW, written by Dara Naraghi (“Lifelike”) and art by Alan Robinson, the
multi-part graphic novel details a series of events that have transpired
since Judgment Day and culminates with the story found in “Terminator
Salvation” from Warner Bros. Pictures.
The
digital graphic novel is now available on the Apple App Store (www.itunes.com
/ http://tinyurl.com/ogv8n2) for $0.99 for each of five episodes or
$3.99 for the full collection.
Created
by leading app developer Genus, the “Terminator Salvation” prequel uses
the Kamikaze: Le Edition engine. This technology allows comic book
images to be scaled down without loss of resolution or fidelity. It also
provides comic book fans with the ability to easily flip through pages
by shaking their wrist and zoom in and out by “pinching” the screen.
“We see
digital comics as an exciting new growth category,” said Thomas Gewecke,
president, Warner Bros. Digital Distribution. “Consumers want to extend
the print experience to their handheld media devices and the iPhone and
iPod touch are ideal platforms for delivering rich, immersive, visual
experiences. We expect the “Terminator Salvation” prequel to be the
first of many digital comic releases over the coming year.”
The
“Terminator Salvation” prequel, which includes a comic adaptation of the
film’s opening scene, is the first of many digital comics that will be
launched on the Apple App store from Warner Bros. Digital Distribution.
The company informs that future series will include classic cartoons as
well as well-known action titles.
Last month,
Terminator Salvation movie game was announced on
Twitter. It’s Sony Pictures Releasing International's
first-ever game created for the social networking platform, Twitter,
allowing users to have a chance to join the human resistance against the
machines.
