‘s probably true that the easiest eye-catching technology to apply to comics, that some artists are doing, is to use techniques like Flash, and yes, that risks changing the form so much that they?re not comics anymore. —Andrew Stern —Keeping Digital Comics Comics (Grand Text Auto)
A good overview of the tension between online comics and other genres.

I read a few web comics and one in particular, Darkmoon’s Silly Web Comic (DSWC), features 8- and 16-bit Nintendo sprites from the Castlevania video game series in static and animated forms. I am not sure if I understand where Stern is coming from because comics qualify as New Media objects. Because comics are New Media, then they are subject to potential New Media futures that Lev Manovich pointed out in his book, _Language of New Media_, when he says films will learn how to show multiple layers of action on a single cell. Examples of this are DSWC, Fox’s series 24, and Ang Lee’s Hulk movie. Although these examples contain flair, we still read them the same way, so I fail to see how animated web comics are not comics anymore.
