Comics Reader on PSP

The  Digital Comics reader for PSP is a pretty nice little application. The menus are slick and easy to navigate. It is easy to keep tabs on your collection, how many new comics you have, how many you have total. Each tab has numbers telling you right from the main "collection" menu. A Bookmark feature lets you mark pages if you need to pick up later, or if you simply like a piece of the art.  But there are 2 very nice features i would like to talk about the most. 
 
First of all, you can play any music on your psp while reading comics. Nice, finally sony gives us an app on the psp we can use while listening to music. Maybe this means in the future browsing websites while listening to music.  The only thing i dont like about the music player built in is that there is no fast forward or rewind, but everything else is smooth. Notification boxes pop up and give you song title, and artist. Oddly, my live Phish tracks do not pop up notification boxes. I dont know if this is because the songs are in a seperate folder or just a character limit but no big deal the songs play fine. 
 
The 2nd is the way it "reads" the comics, it zooms the screen in on each panel, and pans across.  So that if there is a character across a panel, you see them first, and it will pan across/up to words. In the comic i bought, Astonishing X-Men #1 it did a lot of neat things like showing a word as a full panel then after i hit the next zooming out to show art for that panel. After you are through a spread it shows you both pages, allowing you to look around or go to the next page. 
 
 Overall, a pretty neat little app, and as long as Marvel keeps updating, i will most likely keep buying(DEADPOOOLLL), every once and a while at least.  It seems like it could be a neat little program that will help me figure out what comics i should try and pick up for real.
 
Comic Prices so far are 1.99, with some 99 cent comics from publishers like archie comics. Disney has some kids comics up for free. Lets hope Marvel keeps updating along with all the other publishers. Also, lets start complaining to DC to sell their comics digitally so i can get some batman up on my psp.  
 
After looking through a bit more i realized there is one thing this app needs to make it perfect, making store purchases directly from the app, ala Rock Band, so i could download a comic and read it without needing to goto the store and come back.
