I Could Read them on a Train…
I talk a lot here about the benefits of comics and how readers can easily get more readers into the industry, but I’ve never talked about just how people read comics. How do I read my comics, after a long day at my day job, I crawl in bed in my pj’s turn on the lamp and read until I get sleepy. Some people read theirs at work, in the car, in the office, or the brave read in the tub. So how do you read your comics? In my blog on different comic book formats, see

journal.net/can-you-hear-me-now-superman/. Here I talk about how media is changing the comic book industry. Sure, it may be easy and portable, also digital comics prove less expensive, for example, Marvel recently released the Avengers collection on dvd/cd-rom, and it has EVERY Avengers, EVER published. It even includes scans of EVERY INTERIOR PAGE including advertisements. So how do you read comics? Now I think I’ll read mine with my laptop balanced cautiously on my stomach before I go to bed, after all, Marvel has also released the collected Doctor Strange in the same format. Sweet Dreams.

I have that Avengers dvd/rom! I’m an Avengers fan and my only comic collecting goal was to collect ALL the Avengers comics. I had well over 300 issues when this came out. In one fell swoop of a $50 bill my mission was accomplished. One of the greatest ideas ever! I only hope DC does the same with their back issues. Great birthday gift, great Christmas gift, great anytime gift! Go get some of these, people!!!
