One of the best graphic novels

Awesome story, art, and voice acting make this one of my favorite graphic novels. Consistently surprising throughout, wth many wonderful small details and the kind of substance that stands up to repeated readings. Highly recommended!

Comiconshifter

I picked up a cool sticker at Comicon from Anomaly. I agree with reviewers 2-5 and will share it with students and friends.

Nice story

I had an interactive story app a while ago that no longer exists. I've been looking for something similar but this one (so far) doesn't let me make choices for the characters. But I do like the story and will continue to read it.

Breakthrough

Like Anomaly, this is fun to read and dive into the Interactive bits and pieces found throughout the story. The artwork is wonderful and the story is a good one. In partnership with Image Comics you can find another science fiction story called "Faster Than Light" that is also fun and intriguing.
All in all, a fun breakthrough for graphic novels.

Shifter takes its name way too seriously.

I give this app ZERO STARS but the lowest I am allowed to give it is one. A couple of months ago one of my favorite apps went missing, and at the exact same time a brown square with the caption "waiting . . ." appeared. I was not able to delete it. There was no "x" in the upper left corner. A couple of months later, "waiting" changed to "Shifter: int". I deleted it and found myself looking at a screen in the App Store featuring "Shifter: interactive graphic novel". I never downloaded that app. After a few emails to my favorite app--the one that had mysteriously disappeared--I finally have it back.

How to get the rest??

It's great but I can't download the rest.. It just tells me how good the download is and never gives me the option to get it.. I'm kinda mad if I can't finish it that was a waste of time..

B for content - A for execution

This format has a lot of potential. The interactive part amounts to hitting a forward arrow to advance to the next page which I turned off, letting the story flow automatically which made for a much nicer experience. The story was a bit lackluster, but the artwork is first rate as is voice work. A nice story for young ones as it is not graphically violent. Say age 10 and up. I would like to see this format take off as a new way to experience comics.

Good Book

A fun and imaginative read combining elements of NCIS, superheroes, historical fiction, dinosaurs and classic sci-fi. Reads like a good Hollywood movie. Ha ha. Not great literature but will inspire interesting questions on the nature of good and evil.

Can't see the whole screen

The story seems very interesting but every image is cut off on the iPhone 6plus the words are also cut off so I can't see the entire image please fix this so I can read the graphic novel I've heard about

Wil Wheaton nails this great read DOWN!

For .99 cents, this is an outstanding deal.
It's a great book with a great, and incredibly unique storyline.
I'm not impressed with some of the lesser character voice acting, but Wheatons voice more than makes up for them.
High praise!
I wish SO much there was a way they could expand on the story.
