Joey and Shaenon aren’t exactly unbiased… they’ve got a business agenda they’re pushing… and clumbsily at that. We didn’t stop going to the movies when TV was invented. We didn’t stop listening to the radio when TV came along.

Not very enlightened comments. I expected better.

I don’t know about the rest of the comics community but I happen to be an avid collecter of comic books, and a reader of the online comic. Seriously when I wake up I check my bookmarked comics for updates and I do the samething before I go to bed. I enjoy the variety that online comics offer me, as well as how offen they’re updated. However the highlight of my week is heading down to the local comic store once a week and picking up the newest issue of Spider-man or whathaveyou.

I for one will not read an online book if I catch wind of it’s creator calling thier printed forrunner a “pamphlet.” The term is belittling and shows a complete lack of respect for those that gave you this foothold you so enjoy on the internet. If printed comics had never been popular would you bastards have ever wanted to be cartoonists?

Pamphlet, what the hell? So does that mean that if I end up putting out a collection of my comics at some point I’ll be dealing pamphlets? Man, I don’t want to be one of the guys who wakes you up on Sunday morning asking you if you found Jesus. Everyone knows he’s behind the couch, you morons!

In reply to Scott’s comment:

I sincerely hope the future of comics doesn’t involve any sort of “collector’s market”…sure, Diamond fucked up the industry, but they pretty much busted planks out of an already-sinking ship. What originally killed the comic industry (besides Rob Liefeld)? Collectors.

Image, Marvel and DC, with their “COLLECTIBLE FIRST ISSUE!” bullshit were the ones who drove the first nails into the coffin. Don’t even get me started on “zero issues”. Blech.

It would be nice for comics to enjoy a resurgence because they have good stories and decent art, rather than for their future resale value. This is entertainment, not real estate! Fuck!

I’d *love* to see the day where “digital type comics…are here only as long as they are on the internet or as long as your credit card can keep paying to look at them”, because that would (hopefully) mean that people are buying comics for the right reason: to *read* them.

I’m just sayin’.

And on dictionary definitions… WTF Man, COMIC BOOK is in the dictionary as well

http://dictionary.reference.com/search?r=2&q=comic%20book

comic book
n.

A book of comics strips or cartoons, often relating a sustained narrative.

And this one:

comic book

n : a magazine devoted to comic strips

See that word? MAGAZINE… if the dictionary would say like PAMPHLET– but you know what, the dictionary isn’t written by fucking MORONS who change the meaning of things.
