[QUOTE=FlorenceArt;2081687On the other hand, comic books are pictures, and a comic book page is conceived as a whole, not just as a succession of individual frames. When reading a comic book, the eye and brain keep switching between whole-page view and detailed frame view. This experience cannot be replicated on a screen that is smaller than the page, although I'm sure the iPad 3 Retina screen does improve the experience.[/QUOTE]

There is no need to zoom in to individual panels on the iPad3, you read the entire page at once, just like a paper comic.
Matching the exact physical size is a red herring. Move something further away, it looks smaller, move it closer it looks bigger. A 9-10 inch screen is close enough to replicate the experience of reading a comic. Heck you can read a full-width broadsheet newspaper on it!
