Murderdrome
''Murderdrome'' is the title of a mobile comic created by Al Ewing and PJ Holden. It is an ironic pastiche of certain British 'boys adventure' comics of the late seventies, particularly ''Action''. It contains scenes of on-panel decapitation and extremely over-the-top dialogue.
The series is notable because it is one of the first comics to be drawn specifically for the iPhone with the intention of distribution through the App Store. This has been made possible by the "Comic Reader App" developed for the iPhone by Infurious Comics.〔(Infurious Comics )〕〔(Four pioneering web innovations ), BBC, March 15, 2009〕 However, the Murderdrome project is surrounded by controversy〔http://wackygeeks.com/2008/08/a-bad-day-for-apple-banned-iphone-ads-embarrassing-security-hole-and-a-censored-comic/〕 as 'Murderdrome' has been rejected by Apple 〔http://mikecane2008.wordpress.com/2008/08/26/apple-forfeits-ebooks-by-banning-a-comic-book/〕 on the grounds of 'objectionable content'.〔(Apple bans a comic book, firestorm ensues ), ''Fortune'', CNN, August 27, 2008〕〔(Paul Holden on the Murderdrome /iPhone Flap ), Newsarama, September 11, 2008〕 Although Apple have defended this decision, it has been described by some as blatant censorship.〔(Apple Bans Murderdrome Comic Book from iTunes ), ''Wired'', August 27, 2008〕
However, the publicity got the Comic Reader App attention, which resulted in NBC licensing it for their ''Heroes'' comics.〔(Heroes Comics Reader )〕 This led the BBC to suggest that "Mr Holden and his colleagues may have accidentally hit upon what could be the future of comic book publishing.〔(NI comics heroes find US success ), BBC, June 1, 2009〕
