NOTE – This post is 100% April Fool’s Day Joke Free.
Greetings to all our new subscribers! We’ve seen a tremendous increase in iVerse Update subscribers over the last few weeks, and we’re very happy to have you all join us. We like to keep these brief, so you can get through them and move on with your day, but I do have a quick note or two then we’ll get right into the iPhone, Android, and Kindle updates!
1) The FASTEST way to get updates about new releases, insider info, and general discussion about comics coming out from iVerse is through our Twitter feed at:http://www.twitter.com/iversecomics- we’d love to see you there.
2) We have received an ASTONISHING amount of submissions since the day we first announced iVerse. So much so that it’s been very difficult to keep track of them all. If you’re interested in that sort of thing you may have noticed that our submissions page is being updated. We have some ideas on how to best handle this that I think you’re going to find interesting…and hopefully we’ll be able to announce it very soon.
NOW – onto the UPDATES!!!
