Special thanks to GeekWeek reader Roddy Swearngin (you should really follow this madman on twitter @RoddySwearngin ) for pointing this out. Gizmodo is showing us all what comics are going to start looking like on Apple's upcoming IPad. This nerd just started looking for the extra cash to get one of these bad boys.
I'd buy an iPad just to read comic books. Think I'm nuts? I probably am, but see how you feel after this first look at what Panelfly, maker of a popular comic bookiPhone app, is building for the iPad.
Instead of simply scaling up the existing iPhone app, the folks from Panelfly put their heads together with the Sugarcube dev team and brainstormed. With all the talk of the iPad and how it could restore comic books to their former glory, they realized that they needed to revamp the app and make a version specifically for the iPad. This way they could take full advantage of the device's screen size and provide a new way of purchasing and interacting with the content.
