Just in case you need another reason to bring your Switch everywhere, a new app for the hybrid console will let you read comics. Announced during Gamescom 2018 and called InkyPen, the subscription service gives you access to a library of all-you-can-read comics and graphic novels on Switch. Currently, only English is supported, but the company says that most content will be available globally at launch.
InkyPen has announced a few series so far, including Dark Souls, Warhammer, Sonic, and Transformers comics. The official announcement notes that the catalog includes over 10,000 US comics, European comics, and manga. You can read in both handheld and docked mode, and the app includes touch controls in handheld mode.
The app requires a monthly subscription of $8 US / €8 or “local equivalent”. It’s set to launch in November 2018.
