Today Sony will launch a new Comics Store for the PSP. The service allows you to download and read digital comics on the go.

The Comics Store launches at 5pm GMT in the UK, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Ireland was expected to receive the service today as well but "last-minute technical issues" prevented that from happening. It goes live in the US at 3 PM EST according to this tweet from Sony.

The service offers a mix of comics from indie publishers as well as heavyweights like Marvel. Instructions for getting started can be found at PlayStationComics.com.
