The best comics for PSP
The PSP's large screen has endowed it with a large library of digital comics to peruse on the system. Pocket Gamer has affectionately collected what they believe are the best comics for PSP. Best of all, most are free:
Also included in the list is the Metal Gear digital comic. (It's the least free option amongst the current choices.) With six free places to grab comics from, your PSP can turn into a small compendium of digital illustrations.

Ok, after downloading & trying a few of these outs, I have mixed feelings.
The best PSP comics are NYC2123 and HITLESS... I've read those before, and they not only have great production values, but they *truly* are in PSP format; they fit the PSP screen perfectly.
And I've just checked out the first samle of Top Shelf comics, glad to report they are also formatted properly.
Most of these other comics are not sized properly for PSP, and they are pretty much unreadable on the system.
Xevicom Forever is not only badly sized for PSP, the zip file seems to just be a collection of pages/files for a website. So if you unzip & paste directly to your PSP, you'll have a bunch of useless files in your folder which your PSP won't delete because they're not image files (you'll have to delete them through your computer)
Komikwerks at least the pages are 480 across, which means they are somewhat readable on a PSP, just need to scroll. But with the PSPs slow redraw rate, it's diffciult to quickly view images that aren't sized properly for the screen.
What's crappy is that these publisher advertise that these comics are "for PSP" or "PSP versions" when nothing about them indicates that, from just cut/pasting website files wholesale into a zip file, to unreadable page sizes.
So, 3 good, 3 bad. A nice surprise about Top Shelf at least. I will be reading more of these.
