The major comics publishing companies (DC, Marvel, etc.) have been painfully slow regarding the publication of comics for the digital medium. Usually, their digital comics consist of static scans of existing ones. Enter NARR8, a publishing company and app all in one.
When entering the app, you’re greeting with a lit of various comics and links to other App Store games. While the app recommends either registering or signing in with Facebook, it is not necessary to do so to read the comics. However, by doing so you can sync your comics between devices.
The art and story of each comic varies depending on your personal taste. There are comics starring anthropomorphic animals and there are “Twilight Zone” style comics like Multiverse. All the comics I saw lacked any profanity, nudity or excessive violence that would make them unsafe for children, but in terms of content they seem most geared towards teenagers or pre-teens.
The variety of styles in the application make me hopefully for the future of comics (I’m a life-long reader). While all are motion comics, some are in the form of novels with some pictures and others are in such unique forms as a historical timeline comic about the evolution of the printing press.
After some experience with this app, I find it remarkable and one of my few five-star reviews. Anybody with any interest in comics would learn a lot about the future of this medium by picking up NARR8. At a cost of free, it’s a no-brainer. I can even see why it’s available for the iPad only, as a smaller screen would lose the full beauty of its creations. Keep in mind that it’s possible that NARR8 will start charging for its individual comics in the future, but for now it’s a free-fest.
