Comics On Screen

This site (comicsonscreen.com) features a cool way of reading comics online. The comic is displayed on the screen, and you drag the mouse over to the corner of the page and "turn" the page. It looks really cool. You can move it back and forth and it looks real. You can also call up a sort of pop-up window that acts like a magnifying glass.

They're currently building the content of the site. I'm not sure how much is on there yet, but suffice to say you can spend many hours reading what's there already. A lot of it is from Heroic Publishing, who do some nifty superhero books. (There's some historic link with the HERO/Champions RPG.)

There are free samples on the right hand side of the page. A subscription to the site is 5.99 per month, which seems fair.
