Sony Playstation PortablePer PC World, Sony Playstation Portable and Marvel are working on a new portable comic book reader.

Sony's PSP and Marvel's back catalogue are joining forces this November on a new digital reader, according to a Marvel representative speaking at Sony's press conference in Gamescom in Cologne, Germany. Early word out of the show is that hundreds of comics are on the way, though Marvel responded to my Twitter inquiry that they'll be "Classic and Digital First only… No new ones." Apparently Marvel's saying that while the initial offering is limited to oldies, the service could eventually become their most significant. Still, regarding current titles, in Marvel's own words, it's "Way, way, way too early to even speculate on anything like that."
