They've done this before in the form of a UMD, with the MGS digital graphic novel, but this is a digital download, and isn't going to have the voicing and all the SFX that the MGS package had.

The comics scenen in the EU is pretty close to what you have in the US. We read the same stuff as you, perhaps a bit more from france than you.

In Sweden, the big comics are translated (X-men, Spiderman, etc) and a few of the classic works are available in translated form (Akira, Watchmen)

Hard-core readers import from UK or the US since the translation, although often well done, take so much time so its just faster to order the magazines directly.

In the bigger "cities" (Swedens biggest city is Stockholm with about 1.5 million inhabitans - a small town by international standards) there are always a few good comic book stores from which you can buy smaller scale comics. Some even have subscription plans for imports, whre the store sends you the copy via mail (since most magazines don't deliver subscriptions overseas).

The local talents are more are more in strips and non-sequitors, both standard newspapaer BS but some are more adult-targeted (I don't mean porn). Some with outstanding quality I might add!

http://www.Galago.se is a pretty good start for those interested in alternative comics from Sweden.
