My mind say digital but my heart says print. It just doesnt seem right reading books digitally. games and stuff are fine digital but that is because having them in a physical or digital version still gives you the same experince, same with music. But books and comics are a whole different topic.
The physical nature of books adds so much more and that is why in the end i always go physical

Depends if you like collecting stuff, I guess. It's definitely easier to get your hands on sought-after comics digitally, of course. I bought a series of comics I'd been wanting to read for ages off an iPhone comics app and paid about a third of what I was going to pay to get the physical ones off eBay. I didn't really care about having them, I just wanted to read them. I guess it also depends how you want to read them, I personally don't really like reading stuff off a computer screen but I like the experience on my phone. I also recently bought an iPad which is nice for that too. If you're going to read off a device like a phone or tablet, try a few different apps to find one you like. Some can be a pain in the butt to turn pages, or if you buy comics from an app like I did, the special format lets the viewer move around the page and display it panel by panel as you read, which is neat.

I will say print version. Same with books for me, I sometimes buy them just to have it, for collecting purposes, even though I've already read them elsewhere. Reading a print version while lying on your bed just like you prob did when you were a little kid is nostalgic and can make it a magical experience. It's true it will be easier and even cheaper to get them digitally, but still, you asked for opinions. :3

I'm still a print sort of person. It is nice to be able to tear myself away from backlit screens for a while. A part of the reason too is just pure nostalgia. There is also the option to be able to sell the comics in the future/if you can't get into them.
Also, ever so slightly off topic, Y the Last Man is a great series!

Why the hell everyone think in their phones when you ask about digital books or comics?
You can read digital comics in a 50$ Chinese tablet, they have 10 inches and they're much better for that purpose than your smartphones!!!
PS: I used to prefer printed books (I'm an avid reader), but when I was given, 3 years ago, a second handed Kindle 2 I changed up my mind. Now I have a Kindle 4 that I carry with me almost everywhere.

After being informed of this thread, I started to wonder if I should purchase print or digital copies of comics I want to read.
I've been a big fan of comics for a long time now, when I was little my dad would buy comics weekly. He actually has an incredible comic collection lying in the basement. As I got older though, he stopped purchasing comics and I kind of stopped reading them. But now that I saw that thread, it kind of reignited my passion for comics.
So I would like to know what you guys think, print or digital? Perhaps you guys can enlighten me with some pros and cons.
Thanks, all answers appreciated!
tl;dr Which do you prefer; Print comics or Digital comics? Why?
