[BigPimpinCook]

...or how about the electricity needed to run the iPad? Electricity isn't green. The majority of electricity comes from fossil fuels. What about when you're done with the device? I'm sure it'll decompose into the earth just like paper, especially the battery it uses to store and use electricity. Something to consider when you're trolling around in your Prius thinking your saving the earth. You're actually causing more harm than good.

[swaguymusicpage]

So, are the comics made specifically for the Ipad? Or are they general releases that you can find in the store as well? I don't mind either of them. Can anybody help me?

[rubchub77]

I'm certainly about to do this as soon as I get my IPAD. I think the subscription is like 50 dollars. That's a heck of a lot better than paying 3 dollars a comic. I quit because I was getting obsesed with collecting, and forgot why I got into it in the first place..... The love of reading about superheros

[iGeorgeApple1]

i like your username boingboing

[getchum]

@chosenone65

WOW so basically the internet has turned you into a GEEK loner with no friends no money no social life no intelligence no chicks no sex but gay little youtube comments

[neoarcadezr]

does it have manga

[swaguymusicpage]

@neoarcadezr Yes, Viz Media (the owners of Dragonball Z, Naruto, Bleach, Inuyasha, Death Note, etc) made a app for the Ipad. The manga cost $5 per book, and it just came out on the 2nd of this month. It has all the best manga's on there. If you have a Ipad, i highly recommend getting this app! The manga is so good!

[swissheatmaster]

Amazong comics! I also created an app for iPads to brew coffe! My video (in Swiss German) shows how the Swiss Heatmaster app allows you to brew coffee on your iPad.

[urafool82]

Heh this was posted on April Fool's Day...

[urafool82]

You're just a bunch of COMIC GEEKS that need to get real lives. I bet maybe one of you has actually stayed in a meaningful relationship, without the help of Internet dating websites. Please post if you have accomplished this feat while keeping your nerdy hobbies. And "meaningful" would mean that you've actually made love within the last two months or so.

[TheDavidiscoolified]

Does anybody have a marvel account they don't use?

[SarahDaSweet1]

@ChillDumbass579

Personally,my favorite feature for the new iPhone has to be nicer screen and the noise cancelling

Lots of you people Reading this comment simply can't acquire new iPhone, it's just going to be quite expensive

But I realized on Apples twitter Friday they are giving away a few thousand iPhone 4gs. Oh and, this will take you to their contest website ... just copy and paste

does it come with a couple of free samples?

[davidhariri]

Its phillis!

[ThePokerExpert]

Hey Very nice video this one! I really love my Ipad, can't stop using it! I only don't like the expensive books and video downloads in the apple store. I don't know if you have heard of myPadMedia? If you sign up there you get unlimited acces to downloads for the Ipad! A friend of mine wrote a review on it check it out: mypadmediareviews {dot} com

[tavitooo]

ey you have Machu picchu desktop!! cool I am from PERU!!

[BrianSamson1987]

You have sexy hands

[fltrekjc]

cool machine

[sebastianlingserius]

Awsome app, really great!, another app to rewiev is SubMapsXHD.....

[Eggyrocks1]

@Slider29 It's a woman who is a well-known reviewer for BoingBoing.

[Fearisfreedom]

@costaxtreme I'm all of the power that goes into an ipad is perfectly renewable. Buying apple products is no more green then mining the coal/gas/uranium used to power your house. Nothing so simple as an over priced desk lamp will ever change your imprint on the world.

[danimitchel]

for sale on ebay ipad2000(dot)com is good for new store

[BunnyofLore]

I'm crying inside. Now I want one of these stupid things.

psp sorta has that, most comics coast money, but there are different publishers too.

[00frozenzoo00]

is there "heroes" at this app ? I mean the "heroes" art work comic from the TV show, can someone tell me, please ??

[TiniusGenious]

Filmed by an iPhone! Lol you MUST be an apple adict !

[Angelheart0921]

How much does the new iPad cost? Anybody know?

[thornstriff]

Ok, legal e tal mas... pq diabos suas unhas estão vermelhas?? O.O

[manutube8080]

are there are any ultimate xmen?

[mcm1701a]

Wow Chosenone,coming from someone who just replied to a Marvel Comics youtube....chosenone must live the life he writes about. About your name, is it because when confronted with a girl- she chose-none, or is it when looking in the mirror- your the chosen-one.

[YUPnNOPE]

and totally agree with what you said at around 2:00ish about frame by frame.. makes a WORLD of difference. much more enjoyable i find. something you can't get on paper, unless you have one frame on each sheet which they dont make and is a complete waste of paper if they ever decided to! nice review!

[SpiderguyJ]

@YUPnNOPE But some comics work BECAUSE they use the page with sequential images and some work by using each page as a single canvas. One end of the spectrum is what we usually call comics and one is what we usually call children's picture books. To my mind, some of these sophisticated elements that have evolved over a hundred years are completely thrown out the window by this so-called 'guided view'.

If you like one image at a time you have got to read "365 Samurai and a Few Bowls of Rice"!

[YUPnNOPE]

i love this app on my iphone so it can only be better on the iPad! can't wait to get one!!

[VinylKarate]

@chosenone065 WOW the internet has turned YOU into a person filled with bitterness about how the world is changing with modern technologies. If you are not open to new things then you should back off and work hard on your character.

[KimIsIll]

Dude, it may be a good thing but its way to expensive!

[NoamHendrix]

I found this video strangely arousing.

[tracerboy959]

@NoamHendrix Its gotta be those hands...

[manmaas]

I agree the reflectivity is a little worrying. Seems an odd choice given as you can get non-reflective glass.

[extremeoriginality]

Okay! This is like virtually the ONLY reason i want an iPad!

[vaIdarez]

Wow, look how reflective the iPad is in this video. I can't imagine trying to read ANYTHING off this thing, much less a novel or comic book. Bad job on the reflective glass Apple, you just lost my sale.

[katwoo0]

can you get mangas on it? :D

[TheSunset56]

the most useless piece of hardware ever created

[CostaXtreme]

you know what i like about the ipad?

you dont have to cut trees anymore ;)

SAVE THE WORLD xD

[KAHLUT]

@CostaXtreme

you know what i like about the ipad ?

you can smash it over your face to take away the pain when you realise youve spent hundreds on a useless piece of shit :)

[MrSquitwet]

@CostaXtreme

-

Not sure if you're aware of this... but they create this things called "paper farms." That's right, they aren't running down the rain forest to print your nerd toilet paper! Surprise Surprise!

[Jerrevdd1989]

@CostaXtreme trees can be replanted the chemicals used in the battery etc are far more harmfull :D

[thetechroom]

@Jerrevdd1989 ipads battery does not have harmful chemicals, its a solid state lithium-ion battery

[btpnlsl]

@CostaXtreme until the next thing comes along or the battery wears out or it breaks. then its just so much more landfill. ipad == false green

[darthspeaks]

@CostaXtreme The iPad sucks.

[mildpace]

@CostaXtreme

You know what......Ipad needs metals that need big diesel engines to dig up the earth and clear the forests.

[godofthisshit]

@CostaXtreme

What about all the plastic toxins that go into the iPad?

[mrdandelarosa]

@CostaXtreme yeah... and use more power that means more OIL :)

[BobbyOntharun]

How much do the comics cost? Better be at least half off, but a cool idea.....

[kupop0w]

wtf do you have nail polish on?? your finger nail is pretty red

[Lukaz1989]

if i dont get this on the german ipad ill be fcking pissed

[mdcraig62]

This is the best video that you can make?

[anetaxi]

Koukala jsem na internet a jako ten IPAD je docela levnej....

[RichKnight2010]

O.K. now I want an iPad.

[BattalionBeats]

@hgmphoto

Don't watch the reviews then you dumb schmuck.

[flarbton]

@chosenone065 hey moron, the iPad is $499 last time i checked that means it costs $499 so your attempt at logic, burn, is a failure. Go take your dose of viagra and watch your Lisa Nova youtube subscription... that or lust after that fat fuck Shaytard guys wife like every other Bill Gates human toilet loser.

[mrstortwagglesby]

@chosenone065 i think it is a chick, check out the nail polish, if not, then.... o.0

^_^

[pye333]

@chosenone065 Lol your an idiot for basing that off of videos. My life is the computer but i enjoy going out and hanging out with friends.

[samurai815]

@chosenone065 Erm... Not really, saying all those things are like saying the world is without them... It all matters what you desire to do on the net. If you desire to be apple fanboy then most of those are true.

However this thing sucks.... And everyone who says it saves the world from global warming. I haven't seen anything what says that it is made green... This is attempt to bypass ereaders, except, ereaders are much better since you don't damage your eyes, nor they get tiered.

[PAPASCROTUM345]

@chosenone065 why are you so mean?

[ILikeEggsWithBacon]

@chosenone065 i dun mind :D you are just jealous

[Eggyrocks1]

@chosenone065 Normally, if you were to buy and iPad, you would have had quite a lot of disposable income to begin with. Riiight, because owning an iPad causes you to "become" an "idiot".

Wow, it always comes down to sex and girls. FYI, some people, yeah, you heard me right, "people", choose never to have sex in their life time. It's not your decision to make and you should respect their decision.

You're a jerk and YouTube would be better without you.

Thanks for your time.

[specia1airservice]

@chosenone065

Says the person watching an ipad video on youtube

[ZACHHORNER]

@chosenone065 and this is what the person watching a video on the INTERNET about the IPAD has to say... jelous much?? or just stupid, i doubt you even made it past highschool might explain why you comment the way you do. ipad to smart for you my firend??

[johnmonk66]

@chosenone065 no chicks? you are so stupid you don't even know it is a girl doing the review, do you moron?

[overvision]

@chosenone065 Thank heavens there's absolutely NOTHING geeky about posting comments on youTube. ; )

[retroguy02]

@chosenone065 ipad is shit, agreed, but you wouldn't be posting this crap here if you had all that (i'm pretty sure about the no money part at the very least)

[SaintDCLXVI]

@chosenone065 That's a win, isn't it?

[youngobi2009]

@chosenone065 looooooooool

[gatsby8870]

@chosenone065

And you are writing your criticism of him.....on a YouTube message board also on the Internet.... LOL

Glass houses.....

[MrZapatillo]

@chosenone065 you need money to buy I pad, but then again, maybe thats why he dont have any money :<

[robertom2002]

@chosenone065 maybe you need social interaction , money and stupid chicks to be happy . You are so simple , what a stupid fuck , and what's worse ...the world is filled with people like you .

[chosenone065]

just push buttons?

and it takes care of me?

[FTPINSANITY]

PM me for lockerz invite

[ZacFino]

Filming with an iphone, haha number one apple customer right here!

[keytoothed]

Colors look amazing!!! Look at the skin tones. Everything is so vibrant.

[Gannondalf]

you for real remind me of jodie foster :P

[crazyjonhilton]

presenting the most expensive comic book ever!

[afroschlan]

Can this be used in construction?

[themarycity]

I read comics on my ipod touch and it sucks. this doesn't look much better. it hurts my eyes to read on a screen. D: I prefer paper thank you very much.

[elmeeone]

ohhh wow!!!!! now im convinced i should buy an ipad!

[elmeeone]

@elmeeone -_-

[ligonchoi]

Thanks for yours!

Recommending 'KP BAG'

for BRUCE LEE's fans...

[bigvid1122]

this women sounds like jodie foster

[WhyohWhyTv]

So, coverflow for Marvel but NOT for embedded ipod??? wtf?

[n3rdbear]

she's a vampire

[showkun1961]

Great！ I live in japan. In japan it is very hard to get marvel comics. If I get iPad , I will be able to get marvel comics very easily by this service.

[the445566]

did u use ur iphone as a video camera for this?

[radtwelve]

I know you're using your iphone to record your videos but try to speak up or use the headset and put the microphone so close to your mouth so we can hear much better.

[xXQUP4MEXx]

taking a video of an ipad from ur iPhone....wtf

[illde56]

It is interesting that the hero in foreign countries has the past and the history unlike Japan's.

The lover is killed, it awakes in power about the justice, and degree of freedom and the conception think it is good.

The one not interesting has increased though ..animated cartoon character of Japan.. individuality disappears compared with it and it sees.

[xxirok]

Lmao she said "you know what? Flicking threw these pages feels really nice"

[PrometheuzReturns]

You know, do marvel have this app for the touch because i dont have my ipad yet.

[BiggestBuzz]

You know what I like about my comic books? They don't have a fucking battery life.

[LUCIFER666x3]

@BiggestBuzz TRUE =)

[staraffinity]

@BiggestBuzz

Are your comic books good at browsing the web and writing emails or playing games?

[TheAmefist]

@BiggestBuzz This would be damn useful for back up copies if you put your comics in mylar and you don't have to deal with scanning them on a crappy scanner

[prankmakers95]

i almost fall asleep

[CaptainMcAwesum]

Online comics are a crime, SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL COMIC SHOP.

[HAACKER45]

¡NERD ALERT!

[manmaas]

This is a logical progression for comic book art. Backlit screen makes the art 'pop' more than on paper and the transitions bring extra life to the images.

[galactusz]

I like the voice...it's very soothing...lol.

[DBrownofdc]

your voice is waaaay relaxing

[moeslim3]

Asome

[JAyy781]

whats the point of having an ipad? looks kinda useless to me.

[MossMe89]

I seriously think the iPad could replace comic books. Comic books have become way too expensive anyway. I remember when they were 25 cents. Now they are like $4

[robinvan1983]

@MossMe89 why would you want an ipad for 500 euro's just to read comics that you need to by on via the appstore? it is cheaper to buy them in paper

[Molo9000]

@robinvan1983

U can't surf the net with a comic book :)

[robinvan1983]

@Molo9000 and you can't surf and read a comic at the same time with the ipad. no multitasking

[Molo9000]

@robinvan1983

There are rumours that multitasking will be enabled when iPhone OS 4.0 comes out.

[Jaeger5]

@robinvan1983 it does save your spot. reading comic, have an ADHD attack - MUST DO SOMETHING ELSE, surf internet, close cbr, open web, dododo, MUST READ COMIC, open cbr and your spot is saved.

Now, buy iPad.

And don't give me any grief about webcam; nobody wants to see your ugly mug anyway. Besides you can always have a bluetooth webcam in the room somewhere. add a tracking sensor to it and it will always focus on the person.

[robinvan1983]

@Jaeger5 no but reading your comic with music on would be handy :) it can't even do that

[luisvuofh]

your using the iphone lol

[mciarami]

you don't get any spread view!

[joesatube]

wow comics look like crap now. can't believe the computer ruined that too the other thing being movie sfx.

[skribble84]

What a waste

[matyinger]

and you were recording this with an iphone :D obviously :D

[Michb3ck]

biased

[vuongph]

The iPad or the new iPhone will win the best gadget of the year award! It looks great.

[manmaas]

Yep - you can already buy a film to protect the screen on eBay for $2.69 and I don't doubt there will be tons of third party solutions popping outta the woodwork probably shortly after 9am NY time today.

[drunkanmaster]

suppose you can get a scratch proof cover same as the i-phone..@fthis12345. I think she is just showing how you can download & read comics m8, witch would not be bad whilst having a shit ^_^ if you like reading..better than reading the mainstream media i guess.....& i seen some one chuck a i-phone at the wall & there very strong!!..

[Solitaire427]

How would you protect the sceen? It looks like or would break easily.

[DejectedPanda]

@Solitaire427 It's made of transparent adantium.

[Solitaire427]

How would you protect the screen? It seems like it would break easily.

[TheFatman132]

[ricefarmer]

who cares about marvel's dated superheros, what about manga?

[larsattack]

I know right lol. i was thinking the whole time about how awesome a manga app would be.

[jeffrman777]

@ricefarmer Well, I like mangas, but I love American comics as well, so I care.

[xoBrOwNEyeCuTie21xo]

that looks so cool it makes me want it even more
