I think the comic book is going to go the way of the Pulp magazines, and be replaced by monthly motion comics (which is basically a cheaper form of traditional animation). Heck, motion comics are nothing more then a modern day and more advanced version of the old 60's Marvel superhero cartoons.

..and we'd still end up with the problem of being late to deadline.
Sure, but the artists could claim they're growing Virtual iRoses 2.0.

Digital comics may be just what the industry needs for unknown artist to make a splash and be noticed by the big companies like Marvel and DC. Using the net as a place for a artist to hone their craft and at the same time get a audience that would want to read their 'Digicomic'. Also, it could stand as a opportunity to learn the what's and why the creator's should always strive to complete their work by a deadline that they or someone else has placed on the creator. The potential for any unknown artist to utilize the net in this way, with the cream of the crop rising to the top, could also have the potential of turning a fan turned profession into a truly bonafide professional, with experience on how to write a story to the character in the story instead of just the whim of the creator to turn in a story and art based on the creator's need to simply scratch their fan itch. If a Digicomic is sucessful. those works that were released online could be turned into a actual genuine comic! It does'nt always have to go one way, from the 'zine to the digital, but I think if it went the other way, it would prove to be the more sucessful formula based on supply and demand.
There's room for both mediums here, but if you start adding animation and sound, then it's not a comic anymore, as had been stated, but a work that started out that way, and through new mediums of animation and the like, can bring new life into the comic that it was inspired from,

Rob Liefeld got a lot of people to buy comics.

Well, you did declare him the heir to Kirby, after all!

No I didn't.
Can't you get anything right?
Read the entirety of what I said in its context and you will find that you
are, in fact, dead wrong.

Perhaps you'd care to quote it for us?

Clearly the implication of the words you typed was that you were accusing
me of having ripped off the Abomination.
••
AND you need to learn the difference between that which is implied, and
that which is inferred.

During the speculation times, sure he did. Was it any good for the industry? Of course not.

I don't see what the problem is with reading comics books in digitized
format. You still have to turn static pages. Your eyes still has to follow the
cues and tricks thrown in by the artist.
As long as your brain processes the same type of information, what's the
difference?
Digitization doesn't defacto mean that special effects would be thrown in.

I have to admit, as much as l loathe Liefield's artwork, it was a Liefeld New Mutants comic that brought a couple of my friends in college into comics. We had an office supply store close to college that carried just a few comics, and a New Mutants cover caught my suitemate's eye. He bought it and was hooked. He shared it with another friend of mine and hooked him.
The next semester (this was 1992) we had two comic book shops open up in town, and a third the next year. By graduation in 1995, only one was barely hanging on.

Wow Chad, I have to admit that I liked to think that since Colan and Gerber
were so important to marvel, that there were living comfortably somwhere.
Perhaps getting a nice royalty check each month and sipping martini's. I
wasn't aware of Colan in particular being in poor health.
