I had sent this in and got a response before (thanks Ron!) so I thought I'd put it to Stan as well.
I would like to hear about how you feel about digital comic distribution and maybe to hear what you believe the industry thinks of it. Though I dont read many comics myself as I tend to purchase video game adaptations such as Sonic the Hedgehog, World of Warcraft, and Street Fighter. I'm not much into the mainstream superhero books and tend to want to view my comics in other ways as well a preserve them as much as possible.
Not to say comics may ever (or should ever) switch completely to digital downloads and/or subscriptions, but I believe there is a market for people buying comics digitally, especially internationally. I know several people online interested in American books, but unwilling to pay $5-$10 a book to have a subscription shipped to Britain or Brazil. So do you believe this may ever happen where we may get our books through services like iTunes, or will the industry take a more RIAA stance on this?
