Word Balloons: ‘Star Trek,’ ‘Terminator’ comics go mobile
Given the advanced technology in the future worlds of "The Terminator” and "Star Trek,” it’s perhaps not surprising that the comic books based on these franchises are among the first big-name comic books making the leap to the iPhone.
Publishers IDW and Dark Horse have made "Star Trek” and "Terminator” comic books available in the iPhone App Store this summer, tying in to the release of the movies "Star Trek” and "Terminator Salvation.”
The first iPhone comic book from veteran publisher Dark Horse is "Terminator: Death Valley.” In Death Valley, Calif., two Terminators have been sent back in time to kill John Connor as a boy. Each of the four issues is available for 99 cents from the App Store. The story also is available in print as part of "Terminator Omnibus” Vol.
