Sony is aiming for a grand debut for its upcoming PSP Comics Store. Around 500 titles are expected to be available at launch, including stuff from giants like Marvel and smaller press outfits like Red 5.

The European PlayStation blog gives us this list of what to expect come launch day:

• 2000AD – Featuring Judge Dredd, Durham Red…
• Disney – Follow the adventures of Mickey Mouse, Scrooge McDuck, Donald Duck….
• IDW – Astro Boy, Transformers, Star Trek, Wormwood…
• Insomnia – Burke & Hare, Cages, Cancer Town…
• iVerse – Who bring us content from Ape Entertainment, Archie Comics, Dabel Brothers, Image & Red 5.
• Marvel – Astonishing X-Men, Captain America, Fantastic Four, Iron Man, The Amazing Spider-Man
• Titan – Wallace & Gromit

They also have the dish on a new feature called AutoFlow that should make navigating through comics pages easier on the PSP:

With AutoFlow all you have to do is hit one button and the camera will float over the page to the next panel, panning and zooming automatically. We also let you move around manually if you want to get up close and personal with your comic.

While I am most certainly looking forward to getting Red 5's Atomic Robo, you'll notice that there is one big omission: no DC. The Comic Store isn't launching until the middle of next month, so there's still a chance that DC is among the other publishers that Sony says they'll announce soon. It'll be nice if they manage to get some Avatar titles in there as well. I'm really enjoying "The Chronicles of Wormwood" right now.

If you haven't tried out the free comics yet, check out the Euro PS blog. They've got more codes listed there in addition to the ones we posted about.

It's like those people on YouTube that comment on vids of gameplay on MMOs, they'll comment on a TOR trailer and say something along the lines of "FREE!?!? IS THIS GAEM FREE? PLZ TELL ME WERE I CAN DOWNLOAD PLZ THX".

It's funny how they think Lucas would spend millions on development of a STAR WARS MMO and then let people play for free...

Heh, Sony math. Just like they promised 700 PSP games for the Go and certain idiots believed them

LOL - 200 comics available except if you live in Canada.

Its kinda cool that alot of comics are coming out.

But what i want to see is the same program structure they used for the books to be applied for music on the psp. I would like the albums be displayed like the comics where you can flip through them and then chose what you want to listen to. The current way  music is displayed on the psp is lackluster. Its easy to play songs but its not as eye catching as the comic reader for the psp.
