Just saw the rollout! Lots of good changes. Banners are baaaack, and a giant subscribe button (much appreciated) and I LOVE that infinite scrolling is included with full screen mode. Its a perfect function for binge reading, whether or not you have a scroll comic or a book format comic that updates one page at a time. Very nice.
I'm bummed the navigation bar is still there though, and static now. I disliked it when it was animated too. I started adding bumper images to the end of my updates to fix that little distraction (since it would pop up when you're not even done with the page), but now its always there xD sigh. I just don't think they're necessary, especially with the episode list back on the side now and with infinite scrolling back. A lot of the buttons on the bottom bar would look fine on the side bar I think, the "likes" button, the button to switch from list to comments (that would make more sense placed there) and the social media sharing buttons. Anything to just to get that bottom bar out of there.
Either way, everyone will likely read in full screen mode, which is fine because that looks great. Otherwise, the regular layout feels a bit claustrophobic right now. There's just not much space for the actual comic page.
