The Best Graphic.ly Reader Comments on Comics
As ComicsAlliance readers are already aware, I'm pretty interested in digital comics. That's why I've spent the past few days experimenting with Graphic.ly, and I've noticed that there's one thing that really sets it apart from other platforms like comiXology: It has a feature that allows you to make notes directly onto the pages of the comic.
If you've ever added a note to a picture on Flickr, it's essentially the same thing, and as an idea, there's a huge amount of potential here for annotations and creator commentary. But in practice, the fact that the feature's open to Graphic.ly's entire user base means that going through a story with the comments on is pretty much like trying to read a comic with the entire Internet reading over your shoulder. And that works out about like you'd expect.
But in the words of LeVar Burton, you don't have to take my word for it. I've gone through a few of the comics that Graphic.ly offers for free to bring you what is unquestionably some of the most amazing commentary to ever be written directly onto Witchblade's rack.
