As much as paper comic books are loved by many fans and popularirly read by many readers through out the world, web comic's popularity is growing very fast. Especially in South Korea, web comic is starting to become one of very popular business as the smartphone and many smart devices that allowed internet access available anywhere. Many of the publishing industries are making contracts with very famous and popular web comic artists to get their works published. 'Noblesse' is one of the most famous piece of work that is still being released every Tuesday in South Korean portal site 'Naver'.

The comic targets its main audiences as teenager boys and males in their 20s. The comic presents it self to the audience in the Korean portal site 'Naver', which is one of the largest portal sites in Korea and a site that has one of the most popular web comics being published. It is open to anyone for free for viewing, if tou know how to read korean. It's story is based on one of the cheesiest fantasy material of vampires. However it includes a lot of action scenes, well thought out plot, and high quality of art work catches many audiences in the scale that it becomes the most searched thing the at Tuesday 0AM. The auther and the drawer of the comic is divided and they both target the teenagers and males of 20s as their main audience and they are succeeding in doning so.

The audience, or the readers of 'Noblesse' have many communications and has a bit of infulence in the art work. The most easily seen way of readers communicating with the writers is the little short comments that they can write beneath the art work. They also make parodies and fan works in the forums they have created, and a lot of parody art works, sources for the story, and etc are posted in the forum. For what the writer have said in the interview, they take some of the really well made story plots and use them a bit in the actually story. Therefor some of the readers' opinion and suggestion do have some role in shaping the actuall story.

Web comic is still in the stage of development and it has a lot of potentials to do so because it is a medium that writers and readers can intercommunicate with each other for the greater good.
