Infinite Comics

Infinite Comics is an imprint of comic books published by Marvel Comics, featuring original, made-for-digital stories about the company's superhero characters, including Spider-Man, Wolverine, the Guardians of the Galaxy, the Silver Surfer, the X-Men and the Avengers. The imprint was launched in 2012[1] with the publication of Avengers vs. X-Men #1: Infinite featuring Nova.[2] Infinite Comics are designed for horizontal, on-screen reading. Rather than telling a story over a series of static pages that are divided into panels, Infinite Comics present screens of content that "take advantage of the digital format with techniques that would not be possible in a print comic, like dynamic panel transitions and captions or dialogue boxes that appear sequentially on an image at the prompting of the reader."[3] The user retains control over the pace of the reading experience, advancing the story with each swipe – sometimes staggering elements into the existing screen[4] (for example, a new word balloon) and at other times revealing an entirely new screen.

This narrative technique was inspired by the work of a French comic book artist, Yves Bigerel (alias "Balak"), who was recruited by Marvel as artistic consultant, storyboarder and artist.[5]

gollark: If we look at LyricLy's diagram, it seems like it might be more than 2 hours off sometimes.
gollark: You're still not measuring actual *local* solar position, which you seemed to suggest that people needed. It's generally close, but it's affected by political factors a lot.
gollark: That's measuring it as measured from some other location which doesn't necessarily line up with actual solar position.
gollark: That isn't actually measuring it.
gollark: (I mean, people don't generally explicitly talk about the actual position of the sun, so they're obviously both somewhat overly explicitly written)
