					<description>I'm glad to see Marvel further embracing digital, I agree with JimShelley though:
Digital Comics == Yes.
Wrapped in a funky Flash interface == No.
Hate that.

And come on people, print won't be dying. Look at newspapers.
I'm another who will always prefer the printed product to anything produced digitally (even that epaper).</description>

					<description>Sales numbers decline, while printing costs remain static. More and more people &quot;wait for the trades.&quot;

Predicting that mainstream comics will soon serialize online is about as risky a venture as predicting that the GOP is going to appeal to your sense of patriotism come November. 

You might not like it, but soon most of your monthly/weekly/daily comics reading is going to be online. 

And that's awesome news about Roger Langridge.</description>

					<description>I think print will always be around as well, but I think digital serialization will eventually be, if not the norm, at least an equal partner with print serialization.</description>

					<description>i don't think printed comics will die anytime soon.  i think there will always be an audience for the collector.  a jim lee batman will never look the same on a computer screen as it does on the printed page.

but there's an audience out there who want to follow the exploits of their favorite characters without having to devote a room to longboxes.  companies are doing themselves a disservice if they ignore that audience.</description>

					<description>That's very true.  The Jason Aaron book sounds interesting.  The others... not so much, personally.  Now, would I pay for six titles to get one?  That's not an especially appealing deal.  And the more online titles they launch, the more unwieldy it becomes to insist that you have to subscribe to all or none.</description>

					<description>Digital Comics == Yes.
Wrapped in a funky Flash interface == No.

Though I am in agreement with Torsten Adair, that we are really starting to creep up to that time when we saw Moon Knight (and what where the others? Kazar? Micronauts?) go the Direct Market route. I don't know how much going that route helped any of the titles mentioned, but it definitely paved the path for the eventual migration of all titles going that way.

Still, I'd like to see a pay by the title / cbr option on these comics before I be convinced we've got a game changer here...</description>

					<description>I would imagine they'll do trade paperback collections if any of them seem to have the legs for it.  But this IS an interesting move from Marvel, if they're going to do in-continuity spin-off titles online.</description>

					<description>The newsstand market was already moving away from monthly comic books even before the concept of the Direct Market was an ongoing thing.  One might have accelerated the other, but I don't think it was the complete cause.</description>

					<description>I remember when Marvel started publishing direct-market-only titles like Moon Knight.  While that drove a stake through the heart of the newsstand trade, it turned out the newsstand market was a zombie, not a vampire, as it continues to shamble onward, moaning softly.   

So the same thing will probably happen to comicshop magazines.  Maybe there will be &quot;paper only&quot; titles not available to download.  

Anyway, thanks to webcomics, I was able to see Mr. Langridge's art.  I may just download the Fingster.</description>

					<description>I wouldn't mind monthly comics morphing into larger quarterlies or just OGNs. But comics on the computer simply suck. Even great ones like Shadowgirls that are done on and for the computer can't hold a candle to the printed medium, imo.  I just don't like having to look at a screen to read anything if there's a printed version instead.

Am I hopelessly out-of-date here?  Maybe. But lots of technological advances that seem cool and inevitable end up as dead-ends.  And they seem silly to future generations as well.  Digital wrist-watches? Punch-cards? Tang? Maybe that's where this is heading too, but we shall see.</description>
