Ever think about your future with comic books?

So, what series was it? This not mentioning what comic it was is among the more notable missing story details in CBR forum history.

I actually entertained the idea of digitizing all of my floppies. I did a few books as a test and the quality was really good, but the time it took to scan the books times the number of books I have makes it just not feasible.

Not that I support any illicit activities, but have you thought of just downloading digital files of your collection?

Just feels wrong for some reason. And I don't really want to get into torrenting.

I have been collecting enough comics now that im seeing when i move the comics goes in to many boxes,thats alot of room. The solutation is very easy because many of the comics are not worth keeping and re-reading. I will keep the single issues i of series i truly like and will re-read again. Thats my solutation with book collection too. I keep only books i will re-read.

Also i have replaced some of my comics with Trade,hardcover/softcover version to put in the bookshelf and save space.

Also some comics like early 2000s generic Wolverine,X-men comics i will never read and practically give away for free.

I will enjoy comics reading as long as i enjoy the comic, the stories. The space,collecting is not hard to solve if you feel strong enough.

My future has changed based on the cost of comics, however with places like DCBS that cost can drop quite a bit. A bookcase with some trades and hardcovers looks great I have almost no desire to have boxes and boxes full of comics, I do not want a room filled with comics. I have also come to find that I do not need to own everything I wish to read. Like I do not need to own everything I watch. I also do not want to spend the money and just give them away later. Library is not bad at keeping up with a few series.

I love digital comics for the space they can save and how easy they are to access, HOWEVER I want to be able to download comics to my computer in CBR format, I am not going to pay for comics on a server, I want to own what I pay for in this regard. Plus I am not thrilled with pricing either.

If we ever get to the point where we can download comics we could store thousands in the space a deck of cards takes up, that to me would be a great thing.
