The Advantages of Digital Comics and Why I Will Never Like Them - Sep 15, 2006 - 08:48am
Hey, look, I was born in 1953. I've read more comics in print than most of you EVER had---but quite frankly, most print comics are just masturbating to what STan, Jack, Steve, Gardner Fox and others did looong ago, variations on a theme.
I find webcomics to be the most creative out there, and certainly the price is right...I think I can bear to not read it on a toilet, and the more successful ones, like PVP or MEgatokyo, get eventually printed out anyway.
So the question is moot. Eventually, all the most successful print comics will be digitalized---and all the most successful webcomics will be printed out as graphic novels.
And people who don't change---will be left behind.
I invite anyone who's interested in superhero comics with a Silver Age feel to come to my webcomic, for instance. Just google MINDMISTRESS.
