[citation][nom]HalJordan[/nom]Alan Moore, comic book author including "Watchmen", commenting on the movie adaptation of "Watchman"..."I shan't be going to see it. My book is a comic book. Not a movie, not a novel. A comic book. It's been made in a certain way, and designed to be read a certain way: in an armchair, nice and cozy next to a fire, with a steaming cup of coffee." I believe this sums up the reading experience in general...books, comic books, novels, etc, where meant to be read in the format intended by the author. Another example...sure you can look up a .jpgs of some of the greatest paintings on the planet, but to truly appreciate them you need to see them in person, hence museums. Let us not let technology detract from the art itself. Support your local comic book store![/citation]
While I agre with you a 100% my concern,and it isn't just for comic books,but if there is a way to reduce the amout of paper being used then I welcome it.On the upside a lot of kids just can't get the comic books at the prices in the stores,with a lot of them at 5 to 8 dollars.So it does makes it easier for some kids to at least get into comic books.
