Chris Ware's iPad Comic

We're a little late in posting this, but if you're a fan of Oak Parker Chris Ware's comics and you own an iPad, you might want to consider purchasing Touch Sensitive, Ware's first (and perhaps only) iPad comic.

The 14-page (or is it 14-slide?) Touch Sensitive centers on a woman's insecurities with her body and the relationship with her boyfriend. It's available for .99 cents in the McSweeney's app, which is available in the iTunes store for free. Here's some of the reviews:

• Ware's fractally meticulous layouts...have always pushed the boundaries of graphic storytelling to the limit--reading his pages is often more like deciphering a beautiful-but-alien city map than scanning the standard Z-shaped visual progression of most comic books--so if anyone was likely to create an iPad-native comics experience that really took advantage of the touch screen, it was Ware.

• Ware’s pointillist panels and diagramatically simple figure work are uniquely situated to convey the importance of one set of lines intersecting with another...But like a diagram, they’re best consumed at one’s own pace, and that’s where the iPad format falters. (via The Comics Journal)

• It’s classic Ware brought to another level. (via The Scout)
