The digital comics revolution is looking stronger than ever in 2010, with Marvel and other major publishers publishing books for iPhone apps like Panelfly and Comixology’s Comics. Comics are moving onto gaming systems too - the new PSP comic store is really impressive, and it’s likely that the XBox 360 will integrate the digital comics service Longbox by year’s end.
Digital comics publisher Flashback Universe is both a contributor to and beneficiary of the continuing history of comics’ migration onto platforms other than pulp.  They’ve also done an excellent job of recounting the tale on their website - I’ve already posted a link to the first half of the piece; part two is now up, and brings the reader up to date on the state of the digital funnybook.
If you want to check out Flashback’s comics, I highly recommend another excellent iPhone comic reader app, ComicZeal.  It’s a fantastic reader, and includes a library of free downloadable comics, consisting of some spectacular Golden Age public domain books (including classic early adventures of Plastic Man and Blue Beetle, among others), and of a sampling of Flashback’s offerings.
