Never got into comics. It was huge in the late 70's. I wonder if the industry is as big as it was back then?

I'm pretty sure circulation of each title is smaller, but there's a much greater diversity of independent work that's really exciting. The internet, digital comics, print on demand, crowdfunding... they've all revolutionized comics in just the last 10-15 years.

I wonder about this a lot. How are digital sales going for books versus physical ones. I wonder if the artists and writers and any other talent are being recouped properly as the medium seems to be changing into a split between physical and digital items. I just wonder what that split is and how it will be effecting the future? I imagine if the big two of Marvel and DC really go the way of digital, how many independent companies and talent will spring up to fill that physical void. Maybe like you mention with things like print on demand and crowdfunding.

Yea, crazy.... I think I remember reading Wolverine Origins (comic not movie) online at the time and that is pretty old. I still bought the book though. I guess I thought online comics were going to be bigger but I don't see a real huge push for it. I am sure the decision is clouded. I must admit, reading comics on a screen doesn't have the same feel.
On top of that, shhhhh, don't tell anyone. But a friend gave me a pirated, digital version of Suicide Squad the other day. Apparently a big download of books have been going around quite a bit over the past year. Kinda not cool but it's going to happen.

I'm on sites that share full comic books all the time, I get offers for free stuff on Comixology all the time, I just don't have a good time reading a comic book on a screen either. I love webcomics, I obviously use a computer all the time, but the tangible physical comic book is not a replaceable thing, I think the two mediums will just be coexisting till all comics are just in Virtual Reality, which I kind of actually like https://steemit.com/comic-books/@cryplectibles/review-madefire-comics-comic-and-graphic-novels-in-virtual-reality

Oh, OK. That makes sense. If you are into Sci-Fi check out www.theedgeofbeyond.com It is a future earth trilogy that has great reviews on Amazon and is well written with a solid story line. Not a sales pitch just thought you may be interested or someone you know. I really liked the books. I was tired of the same old stuff being rehashed.

I just took a look at the site and watched the video. The graphical theme behind that story is very.... BOLD! I see the book here on Amazon for $17.00. Feels a bit expensive for a paperback but I might see if i can get it at the library.

OK. I also know the author and I bet I can get you a signed copy for only $15.00. Let me know if you are interested
