Great to see the Bugle make your podcast list. I just discovered the podcast I couple of weeks ago thanks to the Jon Richardson show on BBC radio 6 on which Andy Zaltzman was a guest, and it has quickly rose one of my favorites, heard 30ish episode in the last three weeks while catching up.  John Oliver is great, fantastic to see a fellow Brit doing so well in the US with the Daily Show.

Love the end of year shows, about to go to bed and listern to it.

December 14, 2008 9:48 am I know this post is well late but just watched this episode today, wasn't Peter told "one shot to the back of the head and it is done."  But Arthur was shot in the front, so will he just heal?

Well over a year ago I started a company which has been creating a digital comic solution so I may be bias but I really believe that digital comics will change the industry for the better.  Not only will the readers benefit as Gordon described but because the cost of production will be lower for publishers, the publishers will have less risk and more new titles will be allowed to get beyond the 3 issue slump giving new ip's, and talents chance to grow.

Digital comics will allow for more creator own titles and independent self-publishing, with the talent behind them having a profitable product from far less sales, Kirkman's comment about how writers and artist can just do creator own and make a living will then be more realistic, for more creators. 

The current direct market restricts peoples ability to actually purchase the books they want, like how Josh's local store does not carry every book he wants. I think digital distribution will stop this and then hopefully allow the comic book market to grow back towards the news-stand sales back in the day.  

I would love to talk about what our software does but I don't want to spam iFanboy with self promotion and it is best to keep things unwraps until live testing begins around the end of Jan 09. As a fan of the iFanboy audio and video show, it has influenced aspects of the solution we are creating and I am confident our hard work will pay off and we will have released something the iFanbase will love using.
