I grew up in an era where comic books were supposed to be held in your hands, placed on a flat surface, and enthusiastically read. Comic books were created to be aesthetically appreciated. But that is probably an outdated way of thinking now. Modern comic book fans are more likely to compare prices for the best tablets to read comic books now more than ever before.
Almost 9% of comic book sales were digital in 2021. As much as it pains me as a lifelong fan of physical comic books, many new and progressive comic book readers don’t see the need for them. That does not mean you should give up on physical comics; no one is saying that.
