Kenny, I hope you’re right, although I think it’ll take someone being brave enough to go Android and having a big success to open that gate.

As far as Android, it’s *much* easier to develop for Android than for the iPhone. Android development is just everyday Java vs the iPhone’s Objective C. I think you’re going to see a flood of comics for the Android platform once people even start trying.

As to how these comics will compete or stand out, I don’t think they will, but they don’t have to – they simply have to get the word out to the small subset of people who want to read comics this way. Of the iPod/iPhone platform, there are something like 16 million devices. If you managed to get even a small percentage of people looking to read on these devices, you will be doing much better than hoping they wander into the Android’s Dungeon and buy the random graphic novel. The impulse purchasability of an iPod comic is much greater than a regular comic.

[...] “How nice for you. I don’t have an iPhone, so I don’t really care. I know lots of people do, though, and that’s why there are now something like 100,000 apps out there for that platform. If you couldn’t compete in the direct market, what makes you think you’re going to stand out in the larger field? Just for the novelty? Are you giving your comic away for free, then? If so, what’s your business model?” – Johanna Draper Carlson [...]

I love the releases from people announcing their new 22 page graphic novel, too.

What I remember most about V for Vendetta was that when the first issue was printed, David Lloyd went crazy about the printing because a yellow tone was either too yellow or not yellow enough. (I don’t recall which.) He phoned Jenette Kahn and demanded that we recall all the copies and reprint it. I don’t recall if it was Paul or Jenette who told him that would not happen, but that is why he went to Montreal on his own dime for the press okay of the TPB.

I’m pretty sure that when Paul was questioning why all those corrections had been made on the film, I pointed out that we didn’t want to deal with another David Lloyd meltdown.

And just for the record, the film library was not in Brooklyn at the time. It was in Flushing, Queens, at the end of the line of the #7 train.
