Pocket God is a series of digital and print comics, published and marketed by Ape Entertainment and iVerse Media, released for iOS devices, and available in print beginning on August 3, 2010.[1][2]

Based on the best-selling iOS application Pocket God, created by Bolt Creative's Allan Dye and Dave Castelnuovo, the comic was created and plotted by Dave Castelnuovo and Allan Dye, written by Jason M. Burns, and drawn by Rolando Mallada. The comic is about "an indestructible race of people who inhabit a mysterious island and are continuously (and comically) tortured by their mischievous gods".[citation needed]

25 issues of Pocket God were published, including a special Christmas issue, Xmas Marks the Spot, and fourteen 'behind-the-scenes' comics, named The Pygmy Peril. Pocket God was rated for "mature readers" and "teen and up", due to violence.

According to iVerse Media, Pocket God was the first original iOS game to have its own comics series.[3][4]
