Comic fans who buy their books via the Google Play Books app will now have a new option for enjoying those books on smaller screens. Today at Comic-Con the company announced a new feature called "Bubble Zoom" that aims to make comics easier to read on smartphones and tablets.
Bubble Zoom is a function that enlarges individual word balloons on the page. Users can cycle through the story one tap at a time, making it much easier to read and navigate one-handed.

Bubble Zoom is a free feature that will be available to all users of the Google Play Books app for Android devices. The feature makes its debut in the latest app update (out today). Bubble Zoom is currently in "technical preview" mode, meaning that it's only available on Marvel and DC graphic novels. Google noted that they hope to eventually make Bubble Play available for all digital comics on the Google Play Books app.

To celebrate the launch of Bubble Play, Google is also holding a 50% off sale on select Marvel and DC graphic novels with the code "SDCC2016."
