How will it generate any significant revenue? I think all of you are grossly overestimating the market for these types of apps

Most comic app, outside of Marvel, DC and comixcology has less than 20k downloads from the google app store. Then you have things like Thrillbent that offers free comics from top notch creators such as Mark Waid.

Comic sales or in this case views are driven by two things. 1) characters 2) writers/artists

If the app does not have anything special bringing in comic fans, I do not see this getting more than a couple thousand downloads and from that only a smattering of actual users.

The GSL was a game changer in that is gave comics to all people purchasing at Toy's R Us, you did not need to generate a market as you were going to get many eyeballs on the comics as many people go to the store.

This is different, you now need to entice people to not only download an app but to actively use it in a very crowded app market.

This is backwards, if REDG launched GSL and started to get some fans and a following, launching POWfolio would make sense. But to my knowledge not many comic fans even know who REDG is let alone clamoring for an app for comics that no one wants to read.
