   Digital comics won't completely replace paper, but they are getting more    
   popular.  In the case of South Korean Webtoons, it remains to be seen how    
   popular they might become overseas.  Even if the SK Webtoons are too Korea-   
   specific to become very popular elsewhere, the Webtoon *style* may spread much    
   more widely.:   
      
   "One comic app has slowly been transforming the way Korean teens and   
   millennials    
   read comics for over the past decade, and it’s finally starting to roll out   
   in    
   the US and abroad.   
      
   LINE Webtoon allows readers to scroll vertically up and down through comics    
   unlike traditional comics which read horizontally from panel to panel. There   
   is    
   no fancy cover art, no variant covers to collect, and no pages to flip.   
      
   There aren’t really pages at all."
