Phoenix Comic Launches App, With Free Issue. You Know, For Kids.

[Rich Johnston]

Bleeding Cool has been repeatedly praising Phoenix Comic, a weekly anthology comic for kids sold in Britain. Indeed we've suggested that if you know kids in the UK that don;'read Phoenix, it's tantamount to neglect not to let them read Phoenix.

Well now I'm taking that international. As Phoenix Comic has launched a newiOS app, with a free copy and subscription options within, individual issues selling for $2.99 or ?1.99 and SIX MONTHS WORTH of subscriptions for $13.99 or ?9.99. That's a serious bargain right there.

So, if you have a kid or know of a kid who uses an iPad and doesn't have a Phoenix subscription, buy them one. And turn them into a comics fan for life.

Looks good, might give this a go.

It says that subs automatically renew once they expire, does anyone know whether they renew at the £9.99 offer price or just start charging you the £1.99 per week?

It's the iOS that's the killer. I would totally buy my neice a subscription if it meant a pdf or cbr file arriving in her mum's mailbox once a week. I'm not buying her an iPad first.
