Whether you've been a diehard comic book fan for years or you just want to see what they're all about, you may find reading them digitally a better experience than on paper. Here's how to get started with digital comics. It isn't as easy to find a good source of digital comics, a reader for your favorite platform, or an easy way to keep it all organized. Here, we'll lay out some of the best ways to get started going digital with your collection, so you don't have to spend hour scouring Google. Major publishers like. Marvel and DC now have their own online readers and libraries, but that doesn't give you a lot of freedom. By storing your comics locally on your computer, whether in PDF format or the popular CBR and CBZ comic book formats, you can curate your own collection, read it with a number of different programs on any device, and keep all your comics constrained to one collection, not a bunch. That's not to say there aren't other great digital readrs out there? Here's why going digital might be worthwhile: You can bring your entire collection with you: The biggest reason to go digital is the same reason you don't still carry that old discman around with you to listen to music. You can pack tons and tons of comic books on your laptop, smartphone, or tablet, and take them with you wherever you go. It's a lot easier to get your hands on old, rare, expensive, or out of print books digitally than it is to track down the physical issues. You'll get a chance to read stories you might otherwise never had read, which is really great. It's cheaper: Even if you aren't getting them for free, you'll still end up paying a lot less for digital comics. Not only do the older physical issues get pretty expensive, but it just plain costs more to buy them on paper. Why pay $3 one issue when you can get 2. It's just a better reading experience: Many will argue with me on this one, but it can be a lot more comfortable to read these comics on, say, a tablet than on paper. Sure, there's something to be said for going to the comic book store every Wednesday and cracking a new issue open. But if you're reading them digitally, you don't have to worry about spilling food on them, ripping them by accident, and frankly the glare of today's glossy comic book paper is just plain annoying. Plus it's much easier to prop your laptop or i. Pad up when you're sitting on a couch than it is a comic book. For the record, I don't mean by any of this that you should ditch paper comics altogether. I understand that for many fans, nothing beats the feel of paper, the accumulation of a big collection, and the pride of having gotten that issue . I think both paper and digital comics are great, and have their time and place. I do think maintaining a digital collection, whether replacing or on top of your existing collection, is a great idea. Here' I'll detail some of the best solutions I've found for all three to help you jump start your digital collection. Diddy. Where to Get Digital Comics. Digital is still a budding format for comic books, so you're likely going to be scraping bits and pieces of your collection from all over the place (which, frankly, isn't unlike real comic book collecting). Here are some of the best places you can grab yourself some digital comics: Straight From the Publishers. While most major publishers have switched to their online subscription models, many offer free versions of some comics in CBR, CBZ, or PDF formats. Often you'll only get promotional or #1 issues for free, though many independent publishers will release full runs and mini- series' as digital downloads, whether for free or at a small price. It won't be your main source of anything, but it's still worth perusing (and it may turn you on to some new titles). I'd also recommend searching around for digital- friendly web comic publishers like Dog Star Comics, Eyemelt, Modern Tales, and Graphic Smash. Again, it'll be a lot of independent publishers, but you may find some pretty good stuff buried in there! Amazon, e. Bay, and Other Online Stores. As far as some of the more major publishers go, you'd be shocked at how many digital comics you can find right on big stores like Amazon and e. Bay. A company called Git Corp, for example, is currently partnering with Archie and Star Trek comics, and if you look for their out of print stuff on Amazon, you'll find some amazing collections from Marvel, MAD Magazine, National Lampoon, and others. I have almost all of their Marvel collections and they're fantastic. Sadly, since they're out of print, they're a bit more expensive than they used to be (they were originally about $5. Bay. Generally, if you just search around the big stores for digital versions of your favorite titles, you might be shocked at how much you can find. Gizmodo Media Group may get a commission.
