SOLDIERS on iTunes!
Click the Image to Buy SOLDIERS Zero
After 6 weeks of being in the approval queue, SOLDIERS Zero was finally approved for sale on iTunes! The entire issue of SOLDIERS Zero is now available for download directly to your iphone or ipod touch.
We made SOLDIERS specifically for mobile devices — everything from the aspect ratio to the transitions to the word balloons. Reading it all at once, on a digital device, is the way it was meant to be seen. We are extremely proud of the way it turned out — download it now and see for yourself! The total story is 185 screens and it’s all for the bargain price of 99 cents.
The app for SOLDIERS Zero was created by the extraordinary team at Infurious Republic. They did a lot of customization to their app for SOLDIERS and I can honestly say it is head and shoulders beyond any other app out there. The app is made in layers, with the art and letters separate. Go ahead and hit the “Speech” button on the app menu bar and you can get rid of the word balloons and marvel at Martin and Chris’ incredible artwork. Want to jump around? Use the “scrubber” by sliding your finger along the bottom of the screen — with visual scrolling, you get to see each image as you scroll forward and back. No more guessing — go directly to the scenes you want to see. Future issues will have extra art layers, “director’s” commentary, and Easter Egg surprises. No other app has anywhere near the capability of the Infurious Comic Reader.
As our first digital comic, this is a big milestone for Underwater Samurai Studios. Martin, Chris, Charles and I put a lot of effort into this, we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed making it!

P.S. Stay tuned, because we have several more titles in production — SOLDIERS is just the beginning!
Marvel’s Move into Digital Comics — the UWS Analysis
Here is the UWS Publishing analysis and commentary on the New Marvel Digital Strategy:
Last night around midnight my time, I got an e-mail from Comixology telling me Marvel titles were now available on their app. After looking at the screen for a second, I think I muttered something very similar to “holy crap…”
Saw Our iPhone App Demo — It is Awesome!
Infurious Republic just sent me the final SOLDIERS iPhone app demo and it is incredible!
I’m serious here. The guys at IR really worked hard on this and took a great deal of care and thought in developing their app. The results are stunning. Far superior to what iVerse, Panelfly, and Comixology are offering.
Not sure how long it will take to get through the iTunes store review process, but hopefully it won’t be long. SOLDIERS will be on sale through iTunes for 99 cents — that’s a lot of comic goodness for under a buck!
