Worth paying attention to.
Its rare that I write a review. Even for apps that I love, I rarely write reviews. That makes this all the more important to me that Im doing this.
I saw this app show up when I searched for comixology. At first I thought it was a cheap gimmick but I figured Id give it a shot. Being a huge fan of MLPi went to those right away (a bit more on that later) and was surprised to see they had 30 issues already done. I got the first issue for free and started reading.
It had me sold by the second page!
If this is a gimmick to make me buy their version of the books than not only is it a pretty dang good gimmick but it worked!
The level of quality in the animations was fantastic and how they divided the cells into layers and had things moving in them was appealing and I really liked how the speech bubbles show up independently of the actual art and in the order of how theyre spoken. It really does add something to the experience.
One last thing Ill touch before I get to my only complaint has to do with the animation again. I want to mention this in particular because it had me going back over it in awe. There are additional bit of animation within the artwork. What I mean by this that a character was transforming in the cell but of course in the original comic, it was a single static image. Here it actually had the leg coved in an aura and the leg changed colour slowly over the course of a few seconds. No computer wouldve done that so someone deliberately looked at this scene and animated that onto it. That attention to detail is praise worthy and I love it.
Now for my only semi complaint.
There arent that many comic series that I want to read. MLP aside and one other Batman series, there arent too many series that I saw that really stuck out to me. Right now it seems to be primarily IDW but its neat to see someone me DC as well. I cant call this an actual complaint because these animated books must take a while to make and with marvel having its own app. We may never see them on here. I hope Im wrong on that but until then, thats a real shame.
Regardless, download this app and just take a look. Maybe something will interest you and these books are absolutely worth your time to read!
