Much is said nowadays about the pros and cons of traditional comics vs. webcomics. I, for one, believe that the web is the future of sequential art. Not do only artists have more freedom to express themselves, but they can interact with their audience quicker. There is also room to explore without the print market’s constrains. |

I think comics are comics and am not a fan of the us vs them mentality that many of today’s comic creators (on both sides) tend to take. Both mediums have their strengths and their place and I’d like to think that the marriage of 2000AD, one of the longest running print comics out there, and Clickwheel, a bleeding edge website with a focus on those new-fangled iPods, is proof enough that the real key to comics’ success is to utilize ALL of the tools at our disposal in this day and age. Then again, I wouldn’t be devoting my life to digital comics if I didn’t agree with you a little… Tim Demeter |

I agree with you,Tim. There is room for everything in this world, and the more venues, the better. I always wanted to get my work printed… Hey, I still do. But what I have found online is a freedom to explore and to find your own niche. A person can nurture a web comic for years before it becomes successful. That is a luxury you can’t afford in print. There is also the fact that you can reach a global audience. I get a kick out of seeing people from different countries reading my work. Henry Mosquera |

Yeah, digital comics really are the new indies that way. Tim Demeter |
