>Dudley Datson and the Forever Machine #1 (of 3), 56 pages per issue, travels into comic shops on April 17, 2024.
>Praise for Dudley Datson and the Forever Machine:
>“[Dudley Datson and the Forever Machine is] an original sci-fi/superhero pastiche that would feel perfectly at home in the world of Astro City or the works of Jack Kirby… The story has a fun, light, and very human tone that makes it instantly engaging.”–GeekDad (Rating 9/10)
>“Spinning a story that spans generations and weaves in dimensional travel and alien lifeforms, though perhaps most impressive is that Dudley never moves from the story’s center… artist Jamal Igle, colorist Chris Sotomayor, inker Juan Castro, and letterer Tom Napolitano bring those scenes to life and keep the reader engaged, and when the action does pick up it pops off the page.”–Comicbook.com
>“Mixing sci-fi and the magic of invention, Dudley Datson is a younger character who is relatable to teenagers across the country. It’s also a story about invention and how there’s a secret society running things you’ll definitely want to learn more about.”–AIPT
>“Dudley Datson and the Forever Machine truly feels like it’s made for everyone and embodies the pure creative spirit of comics.”–But Why Tho?
Could be fun
I don’t support physical reprints of digital comics.
Why not?
Why would I want to buy something on such a slow release schedule when it’s available online? Why would I pay 4 or 5 dollars for something that presumably already recouped some of its cost? If they wanted to release their garbage digitally they should collect it all at once and for a discounted price.
What if it's for a completed work though that you enjoyed?
This isn’t and I wouldn’t buy it in floppy format. I’d want a trade collection. Which this, also, isn’t.
But what if there was a complete work that you enjoyed that started off as digital?
Also Jerome, I mean Jamal, I mean whatever that black dudes name can frick himself. He wants comic shops to close. Why would I support that homosexual?
That sucks.

No more (You)s for you Jamal
Why are you so angry about this? You made a generic statement and I want to know why. I'm not even talking about the comic in the OP.
@141323698
I answered your question Jamal. Nobody is angry, you just don’t seem to be able to hold an actual discussion.
The irony of this statement is rich. So to my original question, would you or wouldn't you buy a physical copy of a complete work that you enjoyed which was digital? What is your reason for not liking physical copies?

I would not buy it in floppy format, I would maybe wait for a trade given I enjoyed it digitally. But that’s not likely given I don’t read digital comics. If for some reason I did I would buy the trade, I would not buy the floppy because I would already know how it ends and be able to read it all online even if I forgot. There is no reason to buy it piecemeal then because I would already have read it and have access to the full story. So I would not buy the floppy I would wait for the trade.
Why are you so incensed by this answer that you’re spamming and flooding?
>Why are you so incensed by this answer that you’re spamming and flooding?
You could've just answered the question in the first place instead of immediately sperging out. All I wanted to know was your reasoning.
Your answer seems to sum up as this: "I'd rather buy a complete physical copy for something I know I enjoyed by reading it online for free, otherwise I don't want to spend money on it". Not really sure why you had to make everything so difficult.
That dog is nigmarish.
What happened here?
