Actually there's 16 issues of Spider Man Classics. By the way Right, one reprints Amazing Fantasy #15, Spidey's debut, and the rest reprint Amazing Spider-Man #1-15, hence they stopped reprinting with Amazing Spider-An #15 eventhough it was in issue 16 of Spider-Man classics. -M Do you know of any reprints of ASM #16-56, other than Marvel Tales and the MWs? In color.

You do know that eventually comic books will go ALL digital, right? Save a tree IMO.

Although quite a deal more affordable then those.

Human beings are hardwired to want to surround themselves with physical objects that reflect their tastes (see the recent revival of big, supposedly obsolete physical formats like vinyl LPs, for instance). The idea that one day physical possessions will disappear in favour of virtual replacements is contrary to thousands of years of human history. People will always want "things". Belongings. Physical objects to surround themselves with. For people who love reading, that will mean books, magazines and comics. Virtual "possessions" are convenient and space saving, no doubts there, but even at this relatively early stage in our brave new digital world, the idea that printed matter will someday cease to exist is laughable IMHO. It will simply co-exist with electronic or virtual formats. But anyway, all that aside...with sustainable wood resources and proper forestry management, why would you want or need to do away with paper books anyway?

There will always be trees and printed matter will never go away.

A switch to totally digital would be the final nail in the coffin for comics. I know there are a lot of people who only read digitally, but there aren't enough to sustain the industry for long. I think the majority who have been collecting hard copies all along would finally decide the hobby was finished for them. I feel like I would, and I might concentrate on back issues for awhile, but eventually, I'd probably lose enthusiasm over that, too.

We will always want to have possessions.

Marvels epic line should get there at some point. Thhe entire Lee/Ditko run is already out. Are you talking about these or the Omnibus? The latter usually have nice colours. but I haven't checked this one in particular. Are they flat, or four color? MW style flat colouring, really doesn't work for me on the material they reprint.

I enjoy my floppies but if digital is how I can find things which I might otherwise not afford or ever read then digital it is. There was tons of goodness I hadn't read due to costs until the Showcase/Essentials in black and white came around. If Gold/Silver Age comics aren't a selling point in reprints as TPB's then by all means get them out there in digital so we can appreciate and enjoy seeing those wondrously old classic gems that others choose to ignore.

Actually let's look at vinyl since Confessor brought it up and see what kind of model that might be for print vs. digital.
-vinyl had to go away for a while before people missed it and appreciated what it had to offer -currently not every new release goes to vinyl, only collectible special releases and releases form bands who choose to support the format -vinyl singles went away and really haven't come back, only complete albums -vinyl is not available at all outlets that sell music, only specialty shops catering to niche customers who prefer the format, but it is not relied on as the main format to release music nor to support the industry or bands ability to make a living at what they do. -vinyl prices are slightly higher than the price of the music in other formats because the customers who want it are willing to pay more for it in that format than other formats
looking at that, I really can see a potential path for comics- -not all comics will be released in print, only publishers/creators who support the format and special collectible releases -only complete stories i.e. trades/ognNs released in print not individual issues, stories released in digital first collected in print by those who support the format -comic specialty shops continue to sell what print versions of what is available -print is not the focus of the industry's output, but a side format made available to collectors and customers who are willing to pay more for print than other formats since it is a niche product in a niche market
so no, I don't see print going away entirely, but I do see it's place in the industry evolving to adapt to a changing marketplace and the changing demands of the larger customer base as a whole.

Speaking of vinyl I happened to stop in at a Barnes & Noble for the first time in probably close to a year because I had some time to kill last weekend before some family stuff. I was surprised to see a display of vinyl LPs. There were a couple of people digging through them so I didn't really look at what they had (and I wasn't going to be buying anyway). But it was a surprise to see them there. The one LP I did notice and recognize was Marvin Gaye's WHat's Going On.

But it was a surprise to see them there. The one LP I did notice and recognize was Marvin Gaye's WHat's Going On. Yeah, pretty much every record store or chain of stores here in Britain stocks a good selection of vinyl nowadays. Hell, even supermarket chains like Sainsburys are stocking vinyl and they never did back in the '60s, '70s or '80s. Vinyl really has come back in a big, big way as a fairly mainstream thing. What's really interesting about the vinyl revival of the last 10 years is that it, for the most part, it hasn't been driven by sad old record collectors like me, getting all moisten-eyed about this obsolete format. It has been predominantly driven by Millennials, who are all much too young to have ever bought records when they were the dominant way that people consumed music. In fact, a recent survey of British teenage record buyers by the Guardian showed that half of the Millennials who regularly buy vinyl don't even have a turntable to play their records on. They listen to their favourite artists on their iPods or via online streaming platforms, but they still like to own a physical LP by their favourite band because it's a tangible representation of their love of that band -- which is exactly what I was saying earlier about human beings being hardwired to want to surround themselves with "things" that reflect who they are as people. The other thing that's really interesting about the vinyl revival among teens and 20-somethings, is that it pretty much proves that previous exposure to an old, analogue format isn't necessary for that format to gain popularity again. I mean, none of the Millennials currently driving the LP boom has any nostalgic connection to vinyl because they're too young. That's an interesting phenomena to observe because it has implications for all forms of physical media that are under threat from digital replacements.

Well while I still do buy old back issues from the comic shop, there comes a time when I have to resort to going the digital way by going online and reading certain issues that are just too expensive at comic shops or even from amazon or ebay.
Uncanny X Men 266 is one of the old back issues thats really spendy up to 200 bucks even at Amazon. Like I said, I can go online and read Uncanny X Men 266 for free without having spend 200 bucks on just one old single back issue of a comic made from trees
