Media Release -- Marvel Entertainment is proud to announce Marvel Comics on Chrome, available free via Google's Chrome Web Store at http://chrome.marvel.com. Optimized for the Google Chrome Web browser and utilizing the power of HTML 5 technology, this Web-based app offers over 1,600 comics available for single issue purchase to read on your PC or Mac. Purchases made on the Marvel Comics app on iTunes will also be accessible via the Chrome store at no extra cost to users, though purchases made through the Chrome store may only be viewed through the Marvel Comics app on Chrome.
Google Blogoscoped announced earlier this month they had come across a second Chrome comic book.
A second Google Chrome comic book has popped up*. You may remember the first comic of this kind was drawn by Scott McCloud to introduce Google’s browser last year. Takoratta in the forum comments, “It is the Episode 2 of Google Chrome Comic (Japanese) and explains how it is improved to render Non English characters and the motivation/background of Navigational Suggest. These features were developed by Japanese engineers, so this comic introduces Japanese engineers.”
Apparently Google created and issued a physical copy of the Chrome comic book to select members of blogs and the press. One of those fortunate bloggers is now selling their copy on Ebay.
Google has announced it is developing a new browser called "Chrome." They enlisted Scott McCloud to create an online comic book to describe the new product.

At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. As we believe in access to information for everyone, we've now made the comic publicly available -- you can find it here. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries.
