First up: DC Comics, which this morning [announced 100 graphic novels and collected editions](http://dcu.blog.dccomics.com/2011/09/29/dc-entertainment-digital-graphic-novels-available-exclusively-on-the-newly-announced-kindle-fire/ "undefined") making their digital debut on Fire. The titles being offered mix collections of material available digitally in individual issue format with full-length material only available to Kindle Fire users. Interestingly, the 100 titles announced today—with more seemingly on the way, judging from the press release’s comment that “readers can soon purchase other DC Entertainment graphic novels”—include a number of releases from DC’s non-superhero, “mature readers” Vertigo imprint, which may be seen as offering a better introduction to the medium than the stories about Superman, Batman and Green Lantern.
