Description
"[The Carrier] was a good story and fantastic use of iPhone technologies." - Dave Banks at Wired.com
"He didn't just put a book on the iPhone, he actually created a whole digital experience which is actually very cool." - Bryan Deemer at comicgeekspeak.com
"This is one comic app where they used all the iPhone had to offer to tell an enjoyable story, and that is rare." - Dan Tabor at geekadelphia.com

You wake up. You have a briefcase chained to your wrist.
You don't know how it got there.
You don't know what's inside.
What would you do?
That is the story behind The Carrier, a globe-spanning action and espionage comic book about a man with a briefcase, a deadly virus, a group of international terrorists, the people trying to stop them... and the mystery of what's in the case.
The Carrier is more than just a graphic novel on an iPhone, however. This iPhone app is a multimedia experience that unfolds in real time over the course of ten days. Simply put, if something happens at 3:21 a.m. in the comic, you read it at 3:21 a.m. in real life.
Additionally, The Carrier takes advantage of the iPhone as a platform to include geolocation-based extras and emails that complement the story, creating a digital experience outside the panels of the comic. This is not your average comic book app!
This *free* version of The Carrier includes Chapter 1 and Chapter 2.
The entire experience of The Carrier is 35 chapters (some very short, some longer) totaling 680 screens. Chapters 3 - 35 can be purchased from within the application, completing the experience.

Woah
Pretty cool.
Nice Lettering
I am already drawn in.
the carrier full version
just reached the end of the story that uses the iphone's different skills to stretch the story over 10 days or so. it was a fun ride, esp. receiving the emails, as if i were being updated about important world events, with the fake news agencies and other tidbits in the emails, reminds me a bit of ferrigno's assassin series in that respect with the website that reflect that world. overall great comic and concept, using latest tech. to make it a more fuller experience, up there with level 26 for content but would have been interesting to have videos as well of animation perhaps? but no complaints!
