Web comics have been around for some time now. I myself am working on one that will be up soon. The quality of these comics runs from okay to why hasn't this person been offered a job in the industry. The artwork and story are excellent in most.
What is becoming even more popular are comics rendered in 3D. Software is becoming rapidly less expensive and much more powerful and intuitive to the renders needs. While the rendering software is great you still need other software such as Photoshop or Illustrator to do color changes, special effects and touchups and to add lettering.
Web sites like Drunk Duck and Comic Space and many others are filling up with a wide variety of 3D comics. These run from Comedy to Science Fiction to Drama series that are long running and are building a following.
It's doubtful that these 3D comics will rival and/or replace the current crop of print comics in the near future but I do see them showing up on CD with enough popularity to urge the distributors to list them in their sales catalogues or available through the likes of Amazon, Ebay or through PayPal.
Will there be a day when a young student props his Ipod up behind his textbook in study hall and tunes in to his favorite 3D comic? One can only surmise.
Happy reading.
