GoComics Launches New Title On Sprint

This release is about uclick mobile signing an agreement with Wowmax Media to launch the "manga and anime hit Guilstein" on its GoComics Books mobile application. The announcement is pretty interesting for a number of reasons -- it's "the first time Guilstein has been published in any form in the U.S., as well as the first time in English. Guilstein will also be the first manga work introduced for mobile before appearing in print". There'll also be other content such as wallpapers and videos.

The announcement also marks the launch of uclick's GoComics Books (which has western-style comics) and TokyoPop Mobile Manga (which has manga comics) readers on Sprint last week. Each application is an "anthology magazine" with several titles being offered concurrently, for a cost of $3.99 per month. One benefit of anthology-style comics is that even if one storyline ends others continue, so there's always a reason for readers to come back. Uclick has also lined up Verizon, Cingular, T-Mobile and Nextel to host the application, and will launch it on the website in August.
