There are a lot of ways to consume comics but it doesn't feel like the industry is growing to match the options. Which one is the most appealing for you guys? Do you need your physical prints from your local comic shop? Do you navigate conventions in search of physical indies? Digital download good enough for you? What about free browser webcomics? Color? Black and White?
Trades, tomes, and thick volumes or collections. I like stories to be at least somewhat self-contained. Because of that, I tend to mostly buy European books that release every few months to two years, but when they do, I get about 50 or more pages of a complete story. Only floppies I bother with are anthologies and one-shots.

I download all my comics then I go to a comic shop near my house and ask for comics I know they won't have just to piss them of.

Forgot to add, that while I don't mind digital at all, I won't buy it unless I can make a backup copy of it.

Eh. Jojo comics are only good when they're colored. Araki's a good artist but he's fucking terrible with composition, and you typically can't tell what's happening without it being in color. Especially considering part of his style is drawing awkward poses.
Anyway OP I prefer digital. If I had room I'd buy volumes. Issues are cancer and part of what has made American comics unfeasible and is slowly killing them. If you read comics online through your browser, you're even worse cancer. Download 'em.

Trade paperbacks. Nothing beats an actual, physical book, and a trade is long enough to deliver a whole story arc. It also seems like a better value than buying the issues individually, but I don't know if that's actually true.
