I wasn't exactly talking about online comic vs printing comic, it was more or less a comparison between Webtoon vs Manhwa, which are both Korean's comic. In many occasion I just lumped both Webtoon and Manhwa together, making Webtoon into an extensive branch of Manhwa, but many people would disagree with me and say they are not the same.

With that said, Webtoon is super popular in Korea (or the entire world) right now, sort of dominating over Manhwa. (There is still Manhwa being published online) And yeah, I do agree Webtoon is taking over the webcomic industry, but what do we expect? It's created with online and mobile readers in mind after all, unlike Manga which is preferably read in a printed format.
