Things are certainly going to change. I never really fell along with the motion comic thing when it first came out. Call me a purist, but, for me, there was something special about the frozen panes in a comic book – particularly in analog print format that came with the fragrance of the pages and the tactile comfort of turning the page. That and I have an obsessive affinity with those crappy ads that Marvel used to print in the 1970s and 1980s. Goddamn I love those Twinkie comic commercials.

So, call me a cobwebbed purist in a rocking chair telling digital media to get off my lawn. And though I never got into the motion comic push, The Damned Meanderers is a tale that has taken the concept and moved it along further. The next convincing revolutionary generation of comic book concepts has not appeared yet – but The Damned Meanderers is most certainly a huge step in that direction – a direction that, while I still gravitate to the "traditional" comic book format, I am interested in seeing how it evolves from this point.
