ComiXology has released a new version of its free Comics iOS app, v3.1. The most important addition is support for ComiXology’s new “CMX-HD” format, consisting of higher-resolution pages formatted with the third-generation iPad in mind. The company notes that any earlier downloads can be upgraded for free, and that prices for new comics will remain unchanged. It will, however, take several months for all planned upgrades to take effect.
Interface elements have also been updated for the Retina display. Links to comics can now be shared via Twitter, Facebook, or email, and a persistent button lets users jump to their comic collection from anywhere within the store. The app is a universal title with both iPhone and iPad interfaces.
