It'll probably be like the music industry- vinyl is still produced, but only in small releases aimed at purists. CDs are on their way out; downloads topped physical media for the first time this year. Comics will never completely die in hardcore, but it'll likely be indies/special issues aimed at a small particular market. Marvel and DC have a financial incentive to switch to digital; they stand to make a bigger profit and have a better interaction with their end customers (providing more data on trends and customer desires).
