Firstly I want to apologise for the lack of postings over the past two months. Meg, my wife has been having a hard time with her pregnancy and my workload skyrocketed after we were given a new contract. Thankfully things are calming down so I’m once again looking to pick up my reviewing again.

Ryu’s Musings – Zoom Comics (Online Reader)
Zoom Comics is Seven Seas foray into online reading, and frankly it’s not upto the high standard I’d come to expect from Seven Seas, in fact it’s rather pathetic.
Given how late they are venturing into the online reader scene I would have thought that they would have spent more time researching their competitors, looking at how they did things, where they went wrong, and where they were right.
Apparently though they seem to have just stuck a few things together and decided to release it in the hopes people will like it.
Frankly, I’m not impressed.
Any sort of official read is a good thing, it helps kick the illegal ones in the goonies. However what we get here is a rather broken and confusing site that drives people towards the illegal site if only for their simplicity of use.
