Imagine a comic book without borders or pages. Scrollon offers original illustrated content presented as a seemingly unending image. Stories are not merely read, they are traveled.

All the comic images are distorted so that everyone is twice and tall and twice as skinny as they should be. I wonder if it looked looks better on a phone than on the iPad. ### 3/5 — Exciting new medium. *2013-06-22, version 1.0* I love when someone comes up with a new way to tell a story, this is the most compelling one I've seen in a long time. It's way more intuitive then I would have thought and a surprisingly better use of the medium then traditional comic book panels. ### 5/5 — Game changer. *2013-06-19, version 1.0* This app will change the way we read comics and graphic novels alike. I love the flow and intuitiveness of the reader. Can't wait to see more! ### 5/5 — Unique and Fantastic Comic Reader *2013-06-09, version 1.0* This app seems like its geared for a whole new style of reading comics and graphic novels. It (and the custom content) is especially designed for tablets and viewing on phones, unlike what EVERYONE else is doing, which is saving money by either simply scanning and porting their existing content and art, and/or adding simple animation. What they do is ok. .. But it's certainly not made specifically for viewing on digital devices. I think Scrollon fixes that, and I can't wait for lots more content! I hope to see some major publishers get involved in creating some awesome stories for this very cool story telling method. ### 5/5 — Perfect for reading on the iPad! *2013-06-03, version 1.0* Specifically designed for reading on mobile devices. The content is not repurposed from other formats so it has a nice flow. The storytelling seamlessly takes advantage of the technology. ## Frequently asked questions about Scrollon ### What is Scrollon?
