Oh wow, it's time for a new hobby! -
I thought NOW Comics went out years ago. I haven't seen any Ralph Snart comics in a while...

You know with the digital age, it's not going to be long before the printed page is rendered obsolete. Publicly traded companies will not be able to justify printing and distribution costs when they can have their product purchased as a digital image. I know the comic consumer still wants something they can hold in their hands, but at some point I think the industry will force the change. As more and more national magazines fold, printing costs will soar even higher and there will be little choice left than to concede to your IPAD.Comment

I didn't even know who this kid was until I saw a commercial a few weeks ago. I try to stay out of the Reality TV dumpster for the most part.

I certainly think at some point they're going to TRY and force the change, but when that happens, I'm pretty sure it will be "New Coke" all over again, and the fans will revolt. People still want ownership, and I think that's important. With digital comics, you're totally at the mercy of the site that hosts them. They simply allow you access to them. What if they decide not enough people read back issues and decide to pull them from their site? You're SOL, that's what. I'll take a printed copy I can read whenever I want, whether my internet's working, the power's out, or my batteries need recharged.Comment

Maybe they can do a crossover with Dale Keown's Pitt where he eviscerates her and then eats her and makes a corn-impacted Honey Poo Poo.
Since the publisher doesn't have to pay printing costs or shipping, I'd say their overhead is pretty small outside of a server and paying the artists, who probably worked on the cheap for a quick buck. This will last about two months, they'll make a little money and will shut down.I almost had a psychic girlfriend but she dumped me before we met.

Is the "15 Minutes" at the top a reference to the Warhol quote?Comment

To a degree, but that depends on the format for your comics. You can get non volatile downloads, save 'em externally as a generic .jpg or somesuch and you're golden.
>People still want ownership, and I think that's important.
I think it is in terms of cost. The current crop of fans mostly wants to read their funnybooks and isn't too worried about format. I think there's a lingering speculator's market out there.... especially for the superhero stuff.... and THEY'RE unhappy about digital; but I think the biggest stumblig block for the digital format is cost. Folks are okay with it, but still feel odd paying close to cover price on a tangible.
>This will last about two months, they'll make a little money and will shut down.
It's the 90's all over again!
THIS one scares the horque out of me. I'd hate to see comics become little more than vanity projects and tie-ins for personal hype machines. It'd choke out the progeress we'd been making audience and content wise since the superheroes got out of the way.
