Bangalore: Marvel Comics has partnered with Panelfy to bring its popular comic book straight to the iPhone. Marvel comics is well known for its creations such as Spider-Man series, X-Men, X23, Age Apocalypse, and Iron Man. Panefly will offer these comics on iPhone, going back to the very first issues, according to Tech Crunch. To survive this digital age, comics need to be available in electronic form. This partnership will ensure the longevity of comic books. Until now, reading the original Spider-Man or Captain America on your iPhone wasn't possible. The CEO of Panelfly, Stephen Lynch says that it's almost impossible to get your hands on the original versions of some of these comics, but now with this partnership, you can read the very first issue of Spider-Man, X-Men, and Ironman on your iPhone. The application is free, but each issue costs $0.99 to download into Panelfly's reader. In August, Disney had acquired Marvel for $4 billion.
