Chris Ware Does It Again.

When Chris Ware showed up to TCAF with an ipad, we knew something was up. Afterwards we excitedly discussed, "Chris is going to do the ebook to end all ebooks. He's going to show us all how it is done." In short, we bet he was up to something and that anything to come out this would be amazing.


Cut to 4 months later, and McSweeneys releases through their ipad app, a Chris Ware digital comic. And yup, Chris Ware has thrown down the gauntlet people, he's raised the bar yet again. I won't post any spoilers, and I can't profess to be a connoisseur of digital comics, but I'm *pretty* sure there is nothing quite like this out there. And the comic itself? I am consistently amazed by his genius.

(Oh what is this? D+Q has an ipad? Does that mean they will be doing ebooks? Only time will tell, we didn't just buy it so Tom could read Pitchfork at conventions you know.)
