Would you buy a comic book online? Not order and wait for it to come in the mail, but would you enjoy a digital copy of a comic book? Many people are buy iBooks for their iPads or other versions to read on a screen.
iMovies and iMusic(iTunes) are being purchased by many but what about the comic book. Many older readers may not like the idea, the comic book is a feeling, a memory, a lifestyle. You go to your local comic book store, you purchase you comic book while talking to those of your community and you make friends, have fun and hear some news about the comic book world that you may not have learned on your own. Yes comic books are a hobby, habit and lifestyle that many won’t want to break but what about the newer comic book fans. Are you looking for the very first Superman, do you want to attempt to get caught up on the Batman history and timeline, did you miss the death of Captain America? Why not go online, purchase an iComic at a reduced price. You may not be able to hold it, but you can read comic books that would take you years to find and purchase otherwise.
I am personally trying to collect every comic book that had Harley Quinn in it, and let me tell you, not a lot of comic book stores can promise to have what I am looking for. What if I bought them online? What if I had an online collection to rival my already established paper copy collection? I may even buy both, what if I want to be able to send my friend in B.C. The Grimm Fairy Tales comic books but shipping is expensive, now I can purchase it for a reduced price online and send it to her. Maybe I can trade already read comics with other fans or now if something were to happen to my comic books, there is a flood, fire, they are stolen. I have internet back ups that I can get at any internet location. Are you going on a trip, don’t have a lot of room to pack your comic books safely but you have an iPhone, Laptop or iPad? Now you can purchase the comics and have them with you anywhere you go. I don’t think that online copies will make the paper backs obsolete because a lot of people are going to want to touch their comic books, they are going to want to go into their local Comic Book or Hobby Shop but now with iComicsOnDemand they can read comics that they couldn’t find in the past. They can take their comics with them anywhere, they can lend comic books without fear of them being damaged and they can send them from province to province or state to state without shipping charges.
Would you buy an online comic?
