In yet another example of art imitating life — or imitating an iPhone app, or whatever — nefariously addictive app Pocket God is now a digital comic book, available at the App Store.
But developer Bolt Creative says the comic will also materialize as an honest-to-goodness printed comic, with a feature in the app helping users find comic-book stores stocking the title. Digital issues are a buck, and future issues will be available as in-app purchases; no details on the printed version yet.
And just in case you missed it, the comic’s first issue is accompanied by Pocket God’s — wow — 33rd episode, which has our little half-pint islanders evading a massive gorilla in the jungle and performing rituals. Sound familiar?
