The Digital Age Of Comics Is Now!

It would seem that the digital revolution is almost upon us. I saw a blog post over at www.theappleblog.com about a possible alliance between Longbox, the digital downloading initiative brainchild of Rantz Hoseley, and the upcoming Apple reader tablet. I would imagine this deal would include an app for the iPhone as well and could surely put Longbox into a position to make it the download destination for comics. I think for them to really seal the deal, Longbox would need to get a company like DC Comics on board, or at least some of the smaller publishers such as Dark Horse, Image, or IDW. Probably the most frustrating (or is it telling) thing is that Longbox still hasn't launched yet. We are still right in the window for their Fall 2009 reveal, one I am eagerly awaiting. The stars seem to be aligning in Longbox's favor, and if all these things happen the way they are being reported to us, it would surely put Longbox in a position to be the digital king of comics.
