Primarily for the story, characters and artwork, really connecting to the format.
There was a lot of nostalgia driving my comics buying, but now I feel that I can revisit the past in a more pragmatic manner by reading older material digitally. Some of it still holds up, but a lot falls into a ‘that’s not anywhere near as good as I ‘remember’’ category, or I’m just so much more critical of the issue or story as an adult.
I don’t then feel a drive to locate a nosebleed-priced original copy anymore; once I’ve understood that my warm, idyllic memory is so flawed and illusory.
