Sometimes there are additional tradeoffs with digital. I'm currently reading Bendis' Torso, and many of the pages are done as double-page spreads with many panels that aren't laid out in any kind of grid. They don't play well with the panel-by-panel feature either, and sometimes are oriented horizontally, so a have to toggle the rotation lock. TBH, though, it doesn't matter much. The book's basically dialog driven, with most scenes just people talking.

Kane's layout for the cover. It's his art, finished by Romita. I would say this is a 50/50 piece. It's still weird to me to see Kane doing stuff for Marvel when I so closely associate him with DC on Green Lantern. But honestly, I like his Marvel work more, especially on stuff like Captain Marvel and John Carter where he really seemed to shine It surprised me how many covers Kane did for Marvel in the 70s. Sometimes its evident he did the layouts even if he didn't draw the final.

Digital ain't goin' nowhere. I've read 500% more comics--things I hadn't read previously--since I got my Kindle than before, and probably more than half of that was stuff I might never have considered reading if it wasn't available quickly and easily (and usually free).
It goes back to: do you need to own everything you read for ever and ever? Do you have to have every book, movie, or record at your fingertips? It's nice, but there's always something else.

This is a week for big things--namely man-made landmarks. These can be statues, monuments, buildings, etc., as long as they are 1) real and 2) commonly known and identifiable. Natural landmarks like the Grand Canyon or Mount Everest don't count. The fine print: - Post one, and only one, classic cover that fits the theme of the contest. - Cover must be from a published comic book or collected volume published before November 2013. - Please include the title and the issue number of the comic, preferably in bold (e.g. Brother Power the Geek #2, DC 1968), in case some posters cannot see your image. - Covers must be posted before voting begins. - Voting takes place on Tuesday, November 8, 2023, beginning at 12:01 am PST and ending at 11:59 am PST. - Vote by posting the name of the poster whose cover best fits the theme or that you simply like the most in bold. - The winner of the contest is the entrant with the most votes after the voting period ends. - The winner chooses the theme for the next week's contest. - If you don't think the cover fits the theme, don't vote for it; please don't post disparaging remarks about it. - If a cover is more recent than the classic time frame, kindly point it out to the poster, who may then choose an alternate before voting begins.

Thanks for the surprise win! The last time I looked yesterday, I only had one vote and it wasn't even bold.
New contest up soon!
