The size and performance of smartphone screens means that the devices can be used to enjoy media not typically associate with mobile phones. Comic books are a great example, and Marvel’s app for Android phones shows just how the portability of the smartphone can sweetly combine with old media.

Perhaps better suited to tablet devices, the comics still look good on a smartphone’s 3in screen and the hardware lets users do things like swipe through pages and zoom in and out of the action. A guided option smoothly carries users through their pages and the action frames.

Your favourite Marvel characters are available, including Thor, Iron Man, Captain America and Spider-man.
