Sony Computer Entertainment Europe (SCEE) today announced the availability of DC Comics on PlayStation Network Digital Comics service for PSP™ (PlayStation®Portable). An initial selection of over 80 DC titles can be downloaded from PlayStation®Store immediately priced from $1.90 to $7.90 per issue that include Batman: Hush, Green Lantern: Rebirth, Fables: Legends in Exiles and Planetary: All Over the World and Other Stories, as well as comics that are exclusive to PlayStation Network such as Free Realms, God of War, Resistance, and Superman/Batman.
Lastly, DC Comics is offering users a free 10-page preview of the 700th issue of Superman available on PlayStation Network Digital Comics.
DC Comics is the largest English-language comic book publisher in the world. In 1938, they introduced Superman to the world, followed afterwards by Batman, Wonder Woman, Green Lantern, The Flash and many others. Today, they publish nearly 1000 issues a year – and will now be going digital with PlayStation.
“Outside of my work as a comic book creator and Co-Publisher, I’m an avid gamer,” said Jim Lee, DC Comics Co-Publisher. “Making our comics available through PlayStation Network Digital Comics offers a perfect opportunity for us to reach a new, different kind of reader.”
“Digital Comics has been incredibly popular since its release last year, and we’re excited to have some of the comic book world’s most iconic characters from DC Comics joining the stables”, says Isabelle Tomatis, European Marketing Manager, Hardware and Platforms, SCEE. “With over 80 comics in just the first delivery, DC Comics will add to the huge range of great comics available for PSP, so fans can take their favourite characters and adventures from the DC world with them wherever they go.”
Launched in December 2009, the hugely successful Digital Comics brings the brightness and excitement of your favourite comics to the screen of every PSP model, including
