If you’re a fan of comics, and let’s face most males are, you’ll be interested to know that you could soon be reading comic books on your iPod and iPhone. iVerse Media has developed a system for reading comics on the iPod platform called “iVerse Comic Reader software”.

With the software they are able to encode comics into a format that can be downloaded and read on the iPod, and they’re looking for submissions from comic fans, comic hopefuls and of course professional comic artists and publishers. Comics will be made available to download from iTunes Media, and iVerse Media is hoping that they’ll be priced as low as $0.99.

Michael Murphey is the owner of iVerse Media:

Creators and studios will be able to set the final prices on their titles, but we’re expecting most standard-length titles to be around $.99, and we’re encouraging creators to give away the first issues of their titles to allow new readers who may not be familiar with comics, but are iPhone or iPod Touch owners, to give comics on the devices a try.

With Digital Comics on the iPhone/iPod Touch we have access to a world wide audience, no printing costs or print run minimums, and it doesn’t take three months to get the title from the catalogue to on sale in a store.

When the comic titles are downloaded from iTunes, they’ll also be backed up onto the local machines once the device and the computer and synced.

Using the unique interface of the iPhone and the iPod, comics will be easy to read as they’ll be ready formatted for the size of the device.
