Comic Books To Go Digital Just Like Di

OMG! $2.99 comics becoming $3.99?

I have some that are 10¢.

I don't forsee DC & Marvel going digital any time in the near future- the digital age is simply too new, there are simply too many readers out there who won't want to read 30+ page digital comics at home or on special readers when they can tote the printed ones around the world.

Without needing batteries or power converters.

Eventually? Sure. But I'm thinking the time will be measured in multiple decades, not months or years.

As for the silver-age stuff- generally, that stuff hits a high mark and kind of plateaus. They will not diminish significantly in value as long as collectors are still around.

Did you ever see Unbreakable (by M Night Shaymalan?)- the character played by Samuel Jackson had a gallery comprised largely of original sketches from comics.

If/When physical comics dissapear, the same will happen to even the most humble and overproduced issues of today.

I think digi comics would only become more of a force if they ever manage to do colour e-books. Piracy would still be an issue though, and in the future, pirated e-comics and books would be like how MP3s are now.

knitnerd> I think their value will only appreciate if kept well.
 

Based on what I read, Top Cow was originally going to be over the net only but Marc had second thoughts.

Marvel (not sure on DC) is considering doing both. No details.



and yes.... 4 dollars a book now.
 



Except for a few recent stories and possibly World War Hulk.... I doubt there is anything I would want.... much less for 4 a pop.

TPB is the way I go nowadays which is also brought up as one of the reasons for comics faultering currently.
