Printing out digital exclusive comics ?

How should I approach printing out digital only copies of euro comics and manga ? I'm thinking of two pages on both sides of one paper .

    I own a printing business and your local print business should be able to with their machines. High quality. I recommend buying just the pages and assembling it yourself. Most print shops don't ever do that sort of work and would likely overcharge for that step.

      Should I do one page on both sides vertically or two pages on both sides horizontally ? I wanna do a staple bind but I also want it to be a bit big.

        >bind
        In wouldn't ever recommend it except for something like this, i.e. low page count, low-value, non-reference (single or single-digit use, non-archival: glue-bind full A4/Letter.
        The glues today remain flexible far longer.

                Again, this is by no means an archival or reference binding. It's not supposed to protect the contents over a hundred years, (i.e. the solvent in the glue leeches across the gutter to the print over decades.) It also becomes brittle over time and excessive (reference) use, (i.e. the spine can crack and the block splits.)
                Think about old paperback books that you get for a dollar or at a garage sale. Not the family bible.
                It's also important to set it properly. Too cold or not enough time and the binding can drop pages which weren't sufficiently adhered.
                But all things considered, the process today is pretty good. The solvents are better and less leeching. The glue stays more flexible longer. Even office paper has gotten better for it -- ironically by getting worse (more proportion of recycled material in the paper makes it more absorptive.)
                The process is certainly good enough for a use case where you have the material in a other form and you just want something to hold while you read it a few times, maybe give it to a friend, and otherwise leave it on a shelf in case you want to pick it up again years down the line, until your heirs either give them away or throw them away.
                And even though it's somewhat more expensive at bit under a dollar per binding strip, it's better than staples. (No catching on your fingers, no weird signature folds, no tearing, no rusting, etc.)

      I suppose an alternative to could be Office Depot or even Walgreens (photo).

      I've been looking into getting a large format printer for posters and other projects at home. We have a larger Canon Imageclass I think I bought for like $150 that's been a workhorse (printed off like 100+ wedding invites, countless activity pages for kids, etc etc). Maybe do a heavier stock for the cover/back and then normal for the inner pages.
