Marvel comics make iPhone debut
Marvel Comics has made a selection of its titles available on the iPhone for the first time.

Comixology, iVerse and Panefly have become the first applications to make Marvel comics available to iPhone and iPod Touch owners, along with general publishing site ScrollMotion.

The comics on offer range from recent releases to classic runs such as the first 25 issues of Stan Lee and Steve Ditko's Amazing Spider-Man.

The entire run of Joss Whedon and John Cassaday's Astonishing X-Men - which recently debuted as a motion comic - has been made available alongside issues of Captain America and Robert Kirman's Marvel Zombies miniseries.

"We've got those four [platforms] signed, and we're in active discussions with several others," Marvel's executive vice president of digital media, Ira Rubenstein told Comic Book Resources.

"We want to give the consumers the choice to decide what's best for them. Each software has a world of difference, and each company has a different approach. By going with multiple companies, we're letting the consumer decide."
