Meh. Panelfly is beautiful but S-L-O-W. Also, the zoom isn’t as intelligent as Comixology Comics. For my tastes, even the selection is pretty slim. No “Jersey Gods” on Panelfly. Comixology wins this round, but the Marvel deal is good for everyone.

I love Comixology’s Comics interface. Plus your subscriptions/purchases are synched on any device your account is active. Does Panelfly do this? I’ll check it out, but it’s going to be hard to beat the Comics interface.

The good thing is now with the in-app purchases enabled for free apps, it’s very easy to freak out and find the app you like the most.

Meh, Panelfly still seems to be the most attractive, and that’s normally what really matters to me. If you can’t implement what you like an an attractive UI, it’s not worth it.

My apologies. I saw press release and got excited about Marvel on the iPhone. Should have checked with the other options. Updated the writeup.

These guys aren’t the only ones with Marvel. I know ComiXology has them as well. Panelfly sounds ok, but doesn’t seem to have anything that ComiXology doesn’t have. I agree that the screen size of the iPhone is a bit of an issue, but it’s not a killer
