April 8, 2009 2:19 am I have an almost complete run of Savage Dragon, and as much as I enjoyed Erik's Kirby-inspired journeys into different dimensions and what not, the book finally feels "right" again, and I can't recommend it enough.  The book has been great over the last few issues, and I cannot wait to see just who the new Overlord turns out to be.

 I want to address what you're saying about iVerse "leaving out 80% of iPods".  iVerse isn't leaving ANY iPods out by choice.  Apple only allows us to create applications for the iPhone and iPod touch.  We CAN'T make apps for the other iPods.  Apple is only interested in games on their older iPods, and there's not a huge selection of those. 

 Today, we announced that we're soon launching a Desktop Application for Windows and Macs, and we're also creating applications for Google's Android platform.  So we're expanding to as many outlets as we can. We're going to do everything we can to help creators find an audience for their comics - and we hope every single one of them is printed as a trade or a single issue. We love print comics, and we believe digital can help grow this industry. 

 Right now we're seeing between 3,000 and 5,000 comics downloaded every day on the iPhone and iPod touch. So we're very pleased with how things are going thus far. We're introducing comics to new readers every single day.

 When our desktop apps come out, we hope you'll give them a try - and if making comics on older iPods ever becomes an option we'll look into it.

The biggest problem with the Kindle (and the reason our iVerse books aren't on it right now) is that Amazon isn't offering a fair deal to creators.  They're only offering 35% of the retail price of the books - and that's not going to work for anyone. 

 If they offer up something a little closer to what Apple and Google are doing I think you'll see plenty of comics on the Kindle.
