Digital comics are cool, but they’re just not the same as the physical books. There’s something to be said about sitting down and flipping through a good ‘ol fashioned comic book. I mean, they’re called comic BOOKS… physical books to be read for a reason.
I love the old fashioned monster comics! Speaking of, there’s a kick ass project on Kickstarter for a brand new monster comic book series. They already have the first concept art, and it’s sick!! The monster? “The Craver”. Sooo cool.
Check out their page, and check out the concept artwork!! kickstarter.com/projects/thecraver/the-craver-comic?ref=live
