While on the subject of digital comics, I'd like to summarize my thoughts on the matter too. As a comic collector, fan and creator I find it hard to accept the thought of widespread publication of comics digitally. Like any other fan I like the fact that I can collect, hold, touch, smell, inspect my comics physically. However times are changing and like every other form of entertainment like music, tv or movies there is a movement towards digital format. And it definitely has it's advantages. So it looks like it's inevitable that comics will have to adapt to digital or at least co-exist in both mediums in the future. If things are done right I do believe that comics, fans and creators could all benefit from this change in the long run and comics can be more accessible than ever before. Anyone anywhere could easily obtain whatever comics in an affordable fashion without problem. This would lead to comics being more widespread than ever before which would benefit everybody involved in comics, be it creatively or only as a reader. And it would be good for our environment too with all the trees we would be saving from becoming printed paper which would ultimatley be non-recycleable due to the collectibility. Collections and whatnot could still be published like how LPs are still being produced for the avid collectors.
There's much to say and definitely a long time before there will be a major change of course so I guess we'll see how things turn out in time. For now I'll lovingly enjoy my printed comics and cherish them.
