One of the first mediums to take advantage of the new distribution possibilities of the internet was the cartoon strip. After decades of being held down by content limitations or simply keeping the number of professional cartoonists to a minimum, artists were able to bypass syndicated networks. In this newly artist driven industry, and thanks to intelligent link-sharing, webcomics were able to form networks entirely their own, as well as creating their own merchandise to help drive in revenue. For such a forward-thinking industry, it was a shame that they seemed incapable of putting together a worthwhile dedicated app, until now.
Comic Chameleon by Chefs of the Future is the first dedicated app designed to operate like many of the great mainstream comic apps available in the App Store. Designed with full support of the artists they publish, you can navigate panel by panel, quickly swipe between previous pages in the archive, as well as quickly share pages through the usual social networking platforms.
As an added bonus, Comic Chameleon also has direct links to the stores of many of the supported comics, providing ways to directly support the artists you love to read. Ultimately, Comic Chameleon is an app that does a great service for a medium that sorely has needed this evolution for quite some time.
