DC Comics has decided to embrace electronic reading and release DC² and DC² Multiverse as a platform for digital graphic novels.
How DC² works is originally hand-drawn panels are layered digitally so readers can enjoy a true graphic novel experience directly on their phones or tablet readers. On top of that, readers have the opportunity to choose a story line, specific plot detail or character within the comic they’re reading and be diverted to a new series of stories based entirely on their interests. This mean the reader will have the ability to manipulate and customize plots, play with villains and superheros and ultimately control the outcome of the story. Users can even digitally add a soundtrack to the comic.
Batman: Arkham Origins will be the very first of a series of digital graphic novels available through DC².
