Comics & Cartoons January 1, 2014 by Nishitha

The past few years have been good for the comic book market. The rise of comic book-related movies via satellite TV and at the theaters have to to lead to yearly comic book sales of $474 million, according to The Comics Chronicles. The mobile world has kept up with the demand for comic book consumption by providing a plethora of apps designed for smartphones and tablets.

While it’s not quite the same as holding a physical copy of the book in hand, it’s great for getting your comic book fix on while you’re waiting in line or stuck in school away from the comic book store.
