Can view the whole page--looks great for most, but text a bit small in some comics. Or do a pane by pane view.

I'd assume Manga would be even better since it's smaller format most of the time so text size shouldn't be an issue.
I've seen some pics of the Marvel app and it looks gorgeous. As western comics are full color, non color epaper devices like current Kindles would not be good for them.

Manga (or Japanese comics for those unfamiliar with it), on the other hand, are almost entirely black and white (except for the cover art and the occasional color page). So I would be interested to see how the iPad stacks up against the Kindle DX in manga viewing. Maybe I'll find out if I end up getting the 3g when it launches
