Just realized I was wrong about digital comics ruining the hobby

I used to think digital comics were killing the whole comic book fan experience because you lose that physical feeling of flipping through pages and the smell of old paper. But then my buddy let me borrow his tablet for a weekend back in October because I was stuck at home with a busted ankle here in Chicago. I read through the first 30 issues of Saga on that thing and dang, the colors popped way better than my beat up trade paperbacks. The zoom feature let me see background details the artist hid that I never noticed in print. Plus I didn't have to worry about damaging the spine or finding storage space for more longboxes. I still love my floppy copies don't get me wrong, but now I get why some folks switch over completely. Has anyone else here had a change of heart about digital vs physical after actually trying it for a while?

Oh wait Saga is only 54 issues total not just 30 though.

Oh wow, 54 issues sounds about right actually. I totally forgot the current run started after the hiatus. @fiona737 you're spot on with that count, I think I lost track somewhere around issue 40. If you're trying to catch up, just start from the beginning of the current arc, it's way less confusing that way. And yeah, skip the old recap pages, they just make your head spin with all the names.
