Comics are capable of delivering a good story, despite it being just about 30 pages short. With good stories, you can adapt it to any media whether it be print or video. They also draw us into the characters and the situations.
People can learn from the ways these characters deal with specific situations and circumstances. With Watchmen being released recently, people can actually see that comic books can be of great quality and not just some cheap attempt at marketing.
Everyone at one point in their life has probably read a comic book. If not, then one has probably watched a good movie about superheroes like Batman, Spider-man, Superman and the X-men. These movies on their own actually created a fan base which then resulted into comic reading.
Each movie has created its own fan base, sometimes separate from the comic book itself. However, those that were really drawn to the movie and can’t wait for the sequel go into the hobby of collecting actual comic books
Comic book reading however can take out a lot of your time and money. They are released weekly and an average reader can read anywhere from 5 to 30 comic books. This does take out a lot from your allowance and time.
I have experienced this situation before when I was still a student. Back then comic scans where non-existent and I had to buy each comic book that I liked every week otherwise I feel like I’m falling behind. Even with comic scans, though you might save money, it will still intrude in your busy life especially if all you like is to know what’s happening
