Amazingly good use of touch interface!

This is really great app. Not only informative but also with great use of touch interface. Browsing sample pages feels as close as the real thing, perhaps even better as nice smooth animations and effects guide you through the comics. One thing is certain: a great deal of attention was given to the details in this app and I would like to say hats off to Aquafadas developers who made this - you can be proud of your work.
And yes, some of the great comics are there.

Not reading french is, of course, my fault, not the apps. Always liked Moebius and the other Metal Hurlant artists. This app let's you download 4 page samples of some cool comics. The interface is interesting- you can hit a button to pan to the next panel. It sometimes pans to the next dialogue caption. While these are traditional paper comics, the automatic pan and zoom has a feel of film. I sometimes found that part of the panel or even caption was cropped out of view. Fortunately one can move through the pages or panels manually as well. Not having seen these stories before, it's hard to tell if the pages (you can look at an entire "page") have been modified for the format. Being a comicbook reader, I've tried several methods and apps on the iPhone - cool manga with vibration sound effects, traditional comics, motion comics, etc. The novelty of automatic pan-and-scan or vibration wears off quickly and becomes gimmicky. The Watchmen motion comic found in iTunes is excellent and the most successful experiment with iPhone's capabilities and comicbooks I've found. Still, traditional comics are my favorites and there is a good universal comicbook reader in the appstore: ComicZeal. You can wirelessly transfer the standard cbr/cbz comics found on the internet or scanned from your own comic collection to your iPhone or Touch and read them with ComicZeal. The cool bookshelf screen on this app looks just like the one on ComicZeal where you can download free entire comicbooks to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

A great way to view selections

Although this is a great way to view this years selection, the interface is ever-so-slightly clunky. Still great though, I'm just being needlessly picky.

More BD please

I am delighted with this app. As another reviewer said, it makes good use of the touch interface. It's so much fun to read comics on the iPod touch! I would like to ask the developers if there is a way to download full versions of the comics.

1) auto speed is too fast for my slow French understanding 2) follows no interface standards: ie: pinch to zoom, slide to go to next page. 3) tapping anywhere on the page always zooms to the first panel. You guys need to test the interface on some people who are not on your staff!

Wow!! But why not in English!!
