what do you guys think
will comics eventually die
funny that you mention that because I was about the same thing this morning, and no I do not think so, the only way that comics are going to die is If a zombie apocalypse happens or something like that.
Comic books will evolve in the future,In the future you'll be able to read comics using augmented reality lenses.
Books didn't die. 2-D animation didn't die. Videogames didn't kill off movies. PCs didn't kill off gaming consoles.
Comics will live forever...but necessarily in printed form.
In the form many of us are accustomed to, yes.
The days of a printed monthly, set page number title will disappear slowly.
As to what it will become? that's still to be determined but IMO it will resemble webcomics far more than the print ones of today
Yes. Everything will die eventually. The question is will comics die before we do?
Instead of dying, I see them increasing. More and more people are getting interested, so no it will grow!

Do you know by chance where this is from? Is it All-Star?

@NlGHTCRAWLER: It's from Batman 676, the first part of Batman R.I.P. I do believe.
Cool! Thanks.
@JohnnyWalker
printed comics. yes any day now. comic as a category/genre/class/whatever will never die.
Just like JohnnyWalker said, Comic as a genre will almost never die, too many people like it and people get too much profit from it for it to die. XD But Comics as books I'm sure WILL evolve into a Futuristic Fashion through small Tablets maybe? But I hope not at all...But I don't know. We'll have to live and find out.

agreed but sadly with joe quesada saying digital, and marvel giving out free digital comics, print will dieBooks didn't die. 2-D animation didn't die. Videogames didn't kill off movies. PCs didn't kill off gaming consoles.
Comics will live forever...but necessarily in printed form.

I hope not but it does seem possible with print media in such steep decline.
true.
I suspect they could cause their own downfalll.
Neh the medium of art and script to tell a story is too engaging.
It's like reading a movie, just because a lot of people don't read comics, doesnt make it irrelevant, long live comics!!
I'm sure they won't, can you find a superhero show on TV that beats the New 52, or the Heroic Age of Marvel, or even just well-done fanfics. If they start making superhero cartoons, shows, or movies, that are 3x better than there comic counterparts then maybe.
There's alot of stuff you can do in comics that you can't do in cartoons (endless its on adult swim but not many people tune into it) that can slide in comics like Rule 34, blood, and cursing.

i see them becoming digitalised but not extinct!
Doubt it, even in the future not everybody will be able to get there hands on smartphones, tablets, etc.
Just like everything else, yes. Even the sun isn't eternal.
EVER READ A BOOK BY TERRY PRATCHETT?
WELL, THERE IS NO JUSTICE, THERE IS JUST ME;
I think with the rise of digital and interactive comics that the industry is safe for now, the far future... who knows.
maybe one day we will get hologram comic books...
and maybe one day in the distant future we will get comic books without Robert Liefeld writing or drawing them.......
One day.....
One day.
Always a possibility. I think it will evolve into something else, like how books have started to turn digital, but I don't think we can be too sure.
