Apple's iPhone and iPod are emerging as the preferred delivery device for online comic books. They're portable, hand-held and feature vivid screens capable of delivering any necessary colors. You can use the touch screen to flip the pages back and forth.
An online comics website,
Comixology, is a central point for scores of online comics available via iTunes' App Store, including several titles based on popular genre shows of the recent and not-so-recent past.
You'll find that 80's anime after school favorite,

X-Men flourishes in multiple versions.
The Middleman, a now-canceled creative comic-book inspired children's live action show, continues in iPhone form. In fact,

It's true. You really can't kill Wolverine.
Hugh Jackman is already hitting the gym for a sequel to the just-released
X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and Nicktoons just
ordered 26 more episodes of
Wolverine and the X-Men.
The animated show was a big hit on Nicktoons, helping give the network its highest-ratings ever in key demos. The new eps will kick off May 22.
