I'm the only to dislike how look digital comics? 2 2

[Coverdeath]

Sometimes I read online to follow the full story of crossover linked with series that I dont collect, it does the job for sure but I'm the only to really dislike how the colors are flashy and not natural? And even when they are not redesigned it still look weird...

you're not the only one for sure.

From my perspective, it’s a generalisation to say that ALL digital comics look inferior to the printed version. It works well for some, not for others. In physical collection remasters, as with digital equivalents, some linework can be badly obscured by the colouring, an example being Steranko’s SHIELD stories.  Conversely, the original comics might have been printed on dull newsprint, and the remastering can bring out not just detail but also a vibrancy to the artwork which can make you appreciate its quality and the high craft level, far more than you could in the obscured, original presentation.  It’s through digital that I’ve come to really appreciate the very underrated talents of some of the less revered creators. I first switched on to this + aspect of digital when I read Thor : The Eternals Saga and noticed how much better Keith Pollard’s art looked in that remaster.  So, also an inseparable crossover with the argument of original comics vs physical reprints, as well.

Also, on a tablet the brightness and warmth of the image can be further modified to your own personal preferences.  I find that I can focus better.

Each to their own.

Since I am only buying one monthly title, I only read that single issue in a hard format. 

Anything else I read is digital.  

I think one's reading habits in this area are partially determined by their purchasing philosophy.  I buy comics to have as part of a collection for some books as well as the history of that book and because I believe certain issues will become more valuable than others.  I am not building a library or reading material.

Nothing "excites" me about digital comics. I see them as an avenue to archive and make any story available for research or reading. It has a very important role in our collecting community. But if we are comparing quality or color, I admit I am biased to pulp and paper. I'm not saying there isn't an "improvement" in some of these areas with digital but it doesn't allow me the same "escape" as reading an actual comic.

Digital scans of very old comics and pulps that are in the public domain are a wonderful resource.

Your issue might be with most modern comic art and not the digital format.

I respect it.  Don't get me wrong.  Just not for me.

Definitely takes up a lot of room and weighs a ton

Great selections.  I have a lot of collected editions, but ran out of space, moving over to digital at that point.

Either way, the remastering can vary in how well it's executed, and works better for some art styles than for others.

Really just a parallel to newsprint.

A box of Omnibus and / or Absolute Editions is potentially hernia-inducing.

Caution advised. Make sure correct lifting technique is used.
