Comic book fans have had various ways to read their favorite titles on Android for quite a while, most notably official stores like Comixology and Dark Horse. Now they can skip the middleman (well, at least one of the middlemen) for DC Comics. The nearly 80-year-old company has finally started publishing its comics, graphic novels, and trade paperbacks directly to the Books section of the Google Play Store.
At the moment the selection of DC titles is somewhat limited, at least when compared to the tens of thousands of issues published over the years. That said, some of the biggest runs from the major superhero characters are already up, in addition to some of the bigger one-off titles like Watchmen and V For Vendetta. Graphic novels under the Vertigo label have also been published.
For those of you whose tastes skew towards Marvel, there are already a few trade paperbacks on Google Play Books, but the best option remains the Comixology app or the official Marvel Comics app. There's also the all-you-can-eat Marvel Unlimited service, but the app has been getting extremely negative reviews ever since it was released. Then again, you could always go to your local comic book shop or bookstore... if you can find one.
