If I begin reading The Amazing Spider-Man #10 but get interrupted by a phone, ComicZeal remembers where I left off with a red bookmark icon. ComicZeal also displays reminders, like "reading page 14 of 22" or "finished reading" beneath each title. This is a handy feature for readers that enjoy reading in short spurts.

Each page fills the entire screen. Navigating from page to page is done with either a swipe of the finger toward the edge of the screen or a tap on the small menu icon at the bottom of the screen. This menu includes a slidebar for navigating through many pages at once, a nice touch for longer comics or graphic novels.

ComicZeal is good at what it does. Comic book fans interested in taking their favorite books with them will enjoy ComicZeal.

ComicZeal is compatible with any iPhone or iPod touch running the iPhone 2.2 software update.
