NYC 2123
NYC2123 - PSP Comic / Graphic Novel - Home
Based on Sam Costello's say-so (he of Dark, But Shining fame), I took a look at NYC2123, which is a vaguely cyberpunk (remember them?) comic work, published online and downloadable for your PSP.
I'm more interested in it for the format rather than the content at this point. The story is okay, though it's hard to get a feel for who the characters really are (or they're beyond standard character types) in 59 panels, which might be equivalent to about 20 pages of comic, assuming 3 panels a page (I know, you all can do math). There are some places where the format works, but I can't say I'm jumping up and down excited about it.
However, it's far more likely a format/presentation than the iPod, that's for damn sure.
I'm sure this will be a viable format, once they figure out how to control downloading and prevent piracy (or make it so cheap that piracy isn't really worthwhile, which would have to be pretty damn cheap). The question is, how long will this process/transition take?
Must investigate...
