This is the first time DC has allowed its titles on a digital library system. To get the comics powerhouse on board, Hoopla -- the digital arm of media supplier for libraries, Midwest Tape -- made sure that its new Action View feature for comics was up to the Superman publisher's standards. "DC is very guarded how their comic books look," said Hoopla founder and owner Jeff Jankowski. "We worked very closely with them."

As for having comics available on Hoopla the same day as they hit your favorite comic book store, don't hold your breath. DC will be analyzing how their titles perform on Hoopla before going down that road. It's highly likely that new titles will appear after they have had a chance to be sold via traditional channels, the same way movies appear on Netflix. But that shouldn't stop you from checking out Alan Moore's Watchmen right now. Especially if you've only seen that horrible, horrible movie.
