Announced during Sony’s TGS conference, the PlayStation Vita will be getting a new comic reader come October.

Having previously been available on PSP, the comic reader will return on PS Vita with the new Reader Store – previously the Comic Store on PS Store.

The new reader will feature some touch screen controls and the ability to read comics in portrait mode too.

This is a welcome return for fans of the PSP software, and it was perplexing as to why Sony closed down such a fantastic service.

No news on a western release as of yet, however it should materialise.
