It looks like comic books have a viable new market: The iPhone. iVerse Media announced Monday August 17 that sales of their digital comics application for the Apple iPhone have reached one million downloads. Astonishingly, iVerse achieved this massive success in just over nine months of the company going live. On top of that, neither Marvel or DC Comics are available through iVerse. The largest participating partner with iVerse is Image comics. Other comic publishers include Archie Comics, IDW Publishing and Boom Studios.

I couldn’t imaged reading a full comic on an iPhone but it is interesting to see how many new comic readers this might introduce to the industry. I know Star Clipper owner Ben, a huge iPhone advocate, might find this news particularly intriguing. It will likely bring a new generation of readers to comics and graphic novels, but how many will bypass the local comic shop?
