Bottom of the Ninth 01 (Version: 1.0.1)

Reviewed by Matthew Chan on Jul 17th 2012


Quick Rating: 8 out of 10

Pro:
► A unique interactive comic book with a distinctive style
► Excellent art work with animation
► Interesting baseball storyline
► It feels like reading a paper comic book, but with a much richer experience.
► Great voice acting

Con:
► This first book is too short. It only took me 10 mins.
► Some interactive contents are hidden in the page. I missed a few the first time went through the book.

In-App Ad:
► None

Bottom Line:
► Interactive and animated comic book is comic book’s future. Bottom of the Ninth did a very descent job of moving toward to that direction. If you never read an interactive and animated comic book before, this is a good book to start.
