It's quite an interesting read actually. The big two seem to have taken totally opposite sides of the debate. It's like xbox360 and ps3 in the next-gen dvd war

Im pretty for it personally. All we need is a good reliable comic book reading device, and an iTunes type system and comics that cost no more than $1.99 per download. It really could be the evolution of comic books as we know them, but I dont expect it to happen anytime soon.

Only if they keep printing books though! You could have the option of one or the other though with the digital books being slightly cheaper. This would also give a massive boost to indies that don't have access to the economies of scale (my degree was money and time well spent! ) that marvel/dc do

A lot of indie comics are online as we speak anyway.

It's like music, since the download phenomenon I still by albums because when I'm flicking through my cd's i'll often come across one I haven't listened to in ages and I kinda like that aspect so I still buy cd's. But it has meant that I don't have to buy a whole album if a band only has one good song to their name

Perhaps for future generations,but for me.I support comics made on paper,ones that you can hold in your hand and turn the pages.Not click on them,eventually they will be on a digital format.That`s technology.
