The anime community has a really big online following. People usually do it because the releases take so long (months if not years) to make it over to America (it is, like was said, very illegal). I'm kinda surprised that companies haven't started doing what iTunes did; releasing series online for a set amount, I think it'd work really well and I doubt it would hurt the published releases all that much since so many people like to have hard copies.

I think that online, non-webcomic type comics will never be anything more than little promotions for the print comics. A free issue online or something of that sort. Otherwise, if there are a bunch of digital comics floating around, pirating becomes not only a lot easier but almost nonchalant. That's a big risk for a bunch of companies that are barely scraping by to take.

With the cost of print comics getting larger, and the actual content between the covers becoming smaller and smaller (just got this months shipment and omg they are so thin!) I cant believe that digital wont be coming very quickly or the print medium will simply lose all viable profitability. Marvel is putting some great work into their online smart-frame reader. I actually enjoy reading their archived comics very much. If they marketed all their titles digitally at .50 - $1.00 I'd certainly triple my reading list.

I WANT to click on the video... but I'm afraid of Y spoilers... :(

Be afraid... Be verY afraid.

Do you like how I capitalized the Y in that word? Pretty clever, eh?

I would have to say "Cheers" to this episode. lol

Alex, You're adorable. Can't wait to meet You next week! ;)
