Bloom County on the iPad.

Comments Off | Posted: January 17th, 2011 | Filed under: Thinking About Comics | Tags:

I avoided the reprint hardcovers because our apartment is currently choked with massive archival tomes, so the Bloom County app for the iPad has been a real godsend. Outside of a few issues with sizing — there’s some jaggies that are very apparent in the lettering at its default size — it’s a perfect example of content and pricing* hitting a sweet spot with $8 getting you a year of the strip, a much better value than the $2-3 that’s generally being charged for a single issue of Wolverine: Origins or whatever.

So, you know, recommended or whatever.

* Especially considering the fact that IDW’s oversized books retail at $40 a pop and collect two years of material.
