Anybody have any applications or methods of reading a comic book (self.Blind)
submitted by tj_the_blind_gamer
Generally I do find by just listening to comic book related channels on YouTube and the graphic audio adaptations of the comics on audible for marvel specifically because DC doesn't allow it apparentl y

I'm currently at the salt lake City comic Con and was considering buying my son his first comment

It’s not the “mainstream” DC line, but audible’s Sandman adaptation is really good and they’re about to release part 2.

Audible also has a series of DC audiobooks, but I haven’t read them myself:

I was wondering this too. GraphicAudio lacks a lot of them here in Australia, if there were a screen reader that could read speech bubbles etc I would DEFINITELY use it, especially since a lot of early Marvel/DC aren't done by GA/Comicstorian since they lack an overarching storyline.

I am not sure how you feel about Podcasts. I am totally blind and I love them! Here is a link to the X-Men podcast. It is a fan made podcast that has some audio sound effects that sound pretty good.

And later on this year Spotify will be having a new Batman unburied podcast.

As far as reading actual physical comic books I have tried to use apps like Seeing AI, or Supersense. With minimal success.
Marvel also has a few good scripted podcasts. This one is for marvels old man Star Lord podcast.

And this one is for marvels wolverine. FYI this one is not very kid friendly!

I hope some of this helps you.

I didn’t even know YouTube comic book readings were a thing, that’s awesome.
