Suddenly… there were over 1000 comics. Yes that’s right there are now over 1000 comics available via the PlayStation Network Digital Comics store! I was going to say gotta catch ‘em all, but I understand someone else got there first.
On to this week’s highlights:
Marvel introduces us to the first ever appearance of Iron Man in Tales of Suspense (1963). Plus they have more Wolverine and X-Men.
IDW releases the second Army of Two comic and we see the first of a new series “Weekly World News”. Written by Chris Ryall with art by Alan Robinson, Weekly World News is a 4 part mini series inspired by the famous American tabloid. It also comes with some great audio commentary, read an interview with Chris here.
Star Trek fans are in for a treat with the beautiful Star Trek: Nero which is set in the 25 years between the movie’s opening sequence and the rise of James T. Kirk.
Locke & Key continues to be the first comic I download and read each week, I highly recommend it. Also, I hear it on good authority that the next series will come with audio commentary which I’m really looking forward to.
Finally some good news for Red 5 fans, we have received another shipment of comics so look out for them soon on the store.

- Army Of Two #2 – IDW 17+

Thanks. It looks like Cancertown #3 should be out on 25th March. Don’t know about the Beano – I wonder who owns the rights…

The store launched with 500 comics was it? So its doubled in size in three months? That’s very impressive
Congratulations to all the team and thanks to all the publishers involved.
Seems strange not seeing Wormwood on the list this week, but I’ll be picking up Weekly World News so I will still be downloading something starting with a W from IDW!
And of course I’ll be grabbing Locke & Key and my 2000AD Prog, though I still have those to read from last week as my free time seems to have vanished some what this week

you wont be happy till you’ve bankrupted me will you?
great line up this week, as always.
also, i want to reiterate how much the community wants a ps3 reader and some dc titles, give you something to show the guys in charge that both are wanted by the community
hopefully you can get some dc by the time the mmo comes out, and with jimlee being promoted at dc and also involved in the dc mmo, maybe they’ll be more receptive to this service, a girl can hope eh

Any news on if/when the service will be available in Greece?

Posted on 4 March, 2010 at 7:05 pm by HazelAM
alyndri. there are ten years of sonic comics, over 125 issues of the main series alone.
it could get expensive if they start releasing those

Great, Locke and Key with commentary, when does the head games mini-series end?
No Wormwood this week?

Posted on 4 March, 2010 at 8:49 pm by Shadowdragoon
Oh, please focus more on ways to get other than the few countries that currently have the comics access, or at least a back-door way like a way of gifting purchases from one account to another.

We want this service too! Any idea when it will become available in Belgium/Netherlands??
Don’t bother with the translations, we can read and comprehend English just fine, thanks! (although it would be a nice bonus)
