"The Walking Dead" Walk onto Your IPod by Emily Macke

Now that the new series The Walking Dead is getting widespread attention there's a higher demand for the original comic books. Enough demand to even warrant a new app to be developed. The app itself has a precursor, Comics, developed by comiXology. Their app allows for comic book readers to download digital copies of their favorite comics, much like an electronic book reader would. Most issues cost between $1.99 and $2.99 depending on the comic and its popularity. One goal of this new app is to make the comics more affordable. The Walking Dead comics in paper back form cost $8.99. Robert Kirkman, writer of the comic book series sees this new app as a way to reach even more people with his story. Working with comiXology they attempt to make the comic book series more available to a widespread mix of generations.

The new Walking Dead app can be found on comiXology.com and through the iTunes store.
