Online Comics, the next new thing in comics?

Online comics, like the ones depicted in Scott McCloud's The Right Number One and Two and The Superfogeys by Heasely and Lapierre do fall into the genre of comics. I think that as the progression of other media such as newspaper and books have started to integrate into the internet, I think that is a natural progression comics to do the same.

The Superfogeys 

Most online comics such as The Superfogeys are just publications of comics only online. I think just because it is up a digital screen doesn't make it not a comic. In the Superfogeys, we read the online comic just as we would any other comic in any other format. Our conceptualization of the idea comic does not change, just as our digital graphic novels are read any differently than a printed version.

from The Right Number

However, Scott McCloud's The Right Number One and Two are different from the Superfogeys in the fact that it is not a static webpage upon which a comic is presented. These comics are interactive and engage the reader physically in the presentation of the comic. We get to choose when and how the story is displayed to us. The juxtaposition and movement of the frames is very active in the comic, and though I thought that it was very distracting at first, as I continued to read there was a flow that formed and became very natural. And the presentation include frames of its own, like style frames within frames. The idea of frames was not lost, only presented differently. If anything, it allows the viewer more artistic freedom in how they want to interpret the work and maybe they will get a whole new meaning from the work. I think it is important for comics, just like any other form of media, to remain intriguing and exciting has to take chances. The Right Number doesn't lose it's comic integrity, rather it doesn't limit to what comics can be, rather what they can't be.
I think like everything else, there is room for experimentation in every genre and media whether it be comics or television or video.
