    Pretty sure I've mentioned it several times before but I'm an old-school print person. The look, feel, and even the smell of an old comic trumps digital every time.

    i'm reading Autocracy and I've got a few other digital comics that I've bought on sale or have been free.

    I love the feel of a paper Comic or novel. I always take a short stack with me on a holiday specifically so I can sit somewhere comfortable for an hour here and there and immerse myself in a good story. As practical as digital comics are it just doesn't feel the same.

    Investment/resale value has never been a consideration as I collect comics like I collect Transformers, with very little intention of ever reselling.

    an extension of this argument ie, feel and smell of a paper comic over eComic might be reflected in the CD Vs LP argument that still rallies, though LP has had a resurgence of late, it is pretty much dead. and for all you "yungins" who don't know what I'm talking about LP=Vinyl Record.
