Graphic.ly launched its HTML5 digital comics app in the Google Chrome Web Store this week.  All comics acquired using the previous version of the Graphic.ly Web app transfer over to the new app except Marvel’s, which are available on the desktop and mobile only. 

Google’s Chrome Web Store, launched this week, is a way for Google to get involved in app commerce, and is also a warm-up for the Chrome browser-based operating system, due out next year.  The Chrome store featured the Graphic.ly app as a staff pick, featured pick, and a popular pick at launch. 

Graphic.ly says that its HTML5 app works in Firefox, Safari, and Internet Explorer 9 in addition to Chrome (and wonkily in IE8).
